@ChifoiCristian it's alright. kind scattered from scene to scene. bit chaotic. dialogue/screenwriting pretty ass. matt damon was nothing like how crowe was in gladiator - damon just like a regular dude speaking not really getting into character, 6/10.
@TommyThornton@AdithiaKusno Adithia how do you internalize and process these fund manager surveys? On one hand, they’re supposed to be smart money. On the other hand, almost all don’t outperform the indexes?
The Robinhood Chain is the cleanest case study of what happened to ETH's economics over time.
Since inception, @RobinhoodApp Chain has grossed ~$816K in revenue.
@Arbitrum, the middleware provider, takes 10%: ~$80K.
Arbitrum then pays Ethereum for settlement: $1,538.
The margin profile roughly:
Robinhood: 89%
Arbitrum: 10%
Ethereum: 0.15%
If your thesis is "ETH is money," Robinhood building here is ultra bullish. More activity, more ETH collateral, more lindyness.
If your thesis is "ETH is a revenue generating asset," this is the ultra-bear case.
And here's the uncomfortable truth: Robinhood was never going to build on Solana, Sui or any monolithic L1. They want the stack customization. They want to be landlords, not renters. Ethereum won this deal on merit.
It's just not pricing it right.
A healthy split to me looks more like:
Robinhood: 75%
Arbitrum: 10%
Ethereum: 15%
Ethereum sells the most valuable settlement layer in crypto at marginal cost. Things need to change. @ethlabs_org
