In retrospect, it will become obvious that Ethereum was the foundational layer of the decentralized internet.

The ticker is $ETH

Jeff Bezos was born in Alberquerque to a 17 year old high school mom who divorced his alcoholic dad before Jeff was 2. He worked at McDonald's before his grades earned his way into Princeton. He started Amazon in a garage with a 245k investment from his parents.

That's reality.

Catholic converts in the US have reached a near 20-year high, with Catholics on track to become the largest single religious group, surpassing American Evangelical Protestants.

Protestants as a whole will likely still outnumber Catholics, but the trend suggests the US may be entering a new era of religious leadership.

Erik Vorhees: “ETH is still the king, and I don’t see it being dethroned"

The founder of ShapeShift and Venice AI is asked if Ethereum was a “sustainable ecosystem.” He replies:

“I think [Ethereum] is more than sustainable. I think it is the clear winner of the smart contract innovation. It actually wasn’t the first mover in smart contracts, but it was the first one to achieve any sort of scale with smart contracts. What’s most important about Ethereum isn’t so much the first-mover advantage as much as it is the network effect it has had since it was released.”

Erik continues:

“I think both Bitcoin and Ethereum have achieved a network effect that is close to unassailable. People have gotten distracted with some of these other L1s, but if you look at metrics like where the developers are and where stablecoin volumes are, these are hard to fake metrics that are very important. They’ve always been predominantly on Ethereum. It’s not even close. I’m glad that other people tried to build L1s. The process of innovation and competition is really important. But ETH is still the king, and I don’t see it being dethroned. It has had various scaling challenges — the patchwork of L2s and the UX problems between them sucks. But I have a suspicion that Base is going to end up becoming the predominant L2 on top of the predominant L1 of ETH and that vertical is going to be very powerful and very strong. So yes, I’m always bullish on ETH in the same way I’m always bullish on Bitcoin.”

However, Erik warns that if Base loses its permissionlessness it “will flounder and deserves to die”:

“Base has designed things very well. It has gotten a lot of adoption and very quickly became the major L2 even though it was not the first mover. I think it’s gaining a network effect pretty quickly. It obviously has a very powerful corporate ally in Coinbase, and to the degree that Coinbase does not abuse that privilege, that’s a very good privilege. Abuse here means: if Coinbase tries to exert control over base such that it loses its permissionlessness, then it will flounder and deserves to die. But Coinbase has been a very good actor in this regard, and they deserve a lot of credit for demonstrating the principles of decentralization and permissionless innovation in several parts of what they do. Obviously the centralized exchange is not that, but it’s not trying to be either.”

Gonna spell this out explicitly.

The whole “Europe is bravely dumping Treasuries to stick it to evil America” story is mostly nonsense propaganda created to disguise the truth to ordinary European citizens who don't have the knowledge about how financial plumbing actually works.

In reality, Europe has very little real leverage here. Trying to weaponise Treasury sales would hurt Europe dramatically more than it hurts the US — and could end up forcing Europe to beg China for help instead.

European governments know this deep down and are unlikely to actually do it voluntarily.

The Greenland story is mostly posturing — Europe pushing back a bit, but ultimately having to give in because the financial asymmetry is so one-sided.

Europe dumping (or massively selling) US Treasuries to “punish” or weaken America is a terrible idea that would backfire badly on Europe itself.

Here's the simple version of why

Europe still really needs dollars.

Lots of European banks, companies and investors operate in dollars — they borrow in dollars, lend in dollars, trade in dollars, etc. They depend on a steady supply of dollars to keep everything running smoothly.
The US can cut off easy dollar access.

In a crisis the Federal Reserve (US central bank) provides dollars to Europe through special “swap lines”. These were super important in 2008 and 2020 to prevent European banks from collapsing. If the US gets angry (e.g. over Greenland/tariffs or bigger conflict), it can simply turn those swap lines off.

Selling Treasuries creates a dollar shortage in Europe
If European pension funds / asset managers sell huge amounts of US Treasuries: They get dollars back.

But then those dollars either go back into European banks (which then buy Treasuries again → no real change) or leave the European system → European banks suddenly run short of dollars they need to fund their dollar loans and activities.

→ This triggers a panic, the euro crashes against the dollar, and Europe gets a currency & banking crisis.

No swap lines = no easy fix

Without Fed help, Europe can't get enough dollars quickly. Banks and companies start defaulting, businesses can't function normally, people get poorer.

It's basically self-harm.

The only other big source of spare dollars is… China

Japan is aligned with the US, so that leaves China. But China would demand a very high price — probably political/economic concessions that would make Europe far more dependent on Beijing (and indirectly on Russian energy via China).

Europe would basically be swapping US “vassal” status for Chinese “vassal” status… on much worse terms.

Well done Europe in that case. So much for your ESG principles.
