Very hard to believe you did it in a week. Just the KYB process with these providers takes longer.

Also, you mention that “You don’t even realize it runs entirely on crypto rails under the hood,” yet just your landing page is full of crypto jargon. Imagine how the app will be.

Your website says EURC, but unless something drastically changed in the last few months, Gnosis works with EURe.

Don’t get me st

You seem like a competent and nice fellow. Why overstate things?

[Nickolas Tazes @nickolas_tazes]

All this despair because we won’t have Apple AI?

Yeah, it would be nice to have it but it’s not the end of the world. If they can’t ship a privacy-first assistant then I’m ok not to have it. Also Apple seems to be a little maliciously compliant here.

The tech problem of the EU is rooted elsewhere

@mickces incredible work. thank you for this

The (very high) possibility of solana:Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB surpassing ethereum:native is a testament to the fact that crypto is not a serious industry.

And that needs to change

The Ethereum not ETH stuff is the mental fallacy that triggered me into writing and podcasting in the first place.

There is no strong Ethereum without an ETH worth trillions. Without ETH as a global store of value, Ethereum is a failed project. Full stop.

ETH is economic bandwidth for DeFi. It is the only asset maximized for CROPs, fail at high value ETH, fail at CROPs, fail at Ethereum.

Saying you’re bullish Ethereum not ETH is like saying you’re bullish America not the American economy. They are one and the same - economic engines.

Better to admit Ethereum is a failed project than “Ethereum not ETH”.

So spew that weak blockchain not crypto stuff out of your mouth, it doesn’t make sense for BTC, ZEC, ETH, or any truly crypto native project.

@EthanLipnik I never had this issue. How big can a codebase be for this to be happening? Don’t you tag files/folders? Why don’t you use plan mode for such tasks?

@hosseeb the repricing will be violent the next 18 months

@jeazous You have to be kidding me…

@MsMelChen Imagine being so delusional to assume we can’t create software

[Nickolas Tazes @nickolas_tazes]

I am a long-time listener of their podcast. From my understanding, he’s out of $ETH as an investment, not the vision.

I can understand why he, or any other person, may be disappointed with the price action. However, ETH gets disproportionately more hate than it deserves. It’s not like everything is up and ETH is down.

We must value ETH as energy. It powers a whole new economy. So yeah, the price may not go up violently anymore. But the price of energy is rising, and its supply is constrained only by the grid's capacity. ETH’s supply increase is limited to 1.5% per annum

@binji_x DM’d!

[Nickolas Tazes @nickolas_tazes]

@austincampbell it goes without saying that 'Higher ETH is higher fees' is fundamentally wrong

[Nickolas Tazes @nickolas_tazes]

hahahaha you simply can’t win with this people!

Ethereum txs reaching ATH due to address poisoning attacks.

Every time the gas limit is raised and tx fees go down, it costs less to 'dust' a wallet.

For example, after Fusaka, sub-$0.01 dust txs increased by 600%.

Etherscan reported that Ethereum address poisoning succeeds about 0.01% of the time: 1 in 10,000 transfers tricks a user into sending funds to an attacker.

Actually, Ethereum might benefit from RAISING fees as they it makes address poisoning attacks more expensive and it burns more $ETH.

Ethereum has been winning, is winning, and has never lost.

The most-used subprotocol or subchain by actual users is EVM-based. Every major wallet either supports ETH natively or is built entirely on EVM architecture.

Every chain that tried to compete failed to attract meaningful developer adoption. Algorand, Tezos, Polkadot - none crossed the threshold. Most “ETH killers” eventually found a single niche and settled: NEAR became a solid intent-based bridge layer, TRON became a USDT wallet. That’s not winning, that’s narrowing.

Cheap L2s never retained long-term users either. The pattern is always the same: airdrop announcement, usage spike, MEV bots flood in because gas is cheap, then silence. Base is a clean example of that cycle.

Ethereum sets the vision. Every fork and new proposal chases the EIP backlog because the entire infrastructure stack - Etherscan, Infura, Alchemy, Blockscout - standardized on EVM. Deviate from that standard and you’re on your own. That’s why deploying a forked contract to TRON is a nightmare, why Optimism shipped multiple broken hard forks chasing weird gas estimation edge cases, and why dapp developers refuse to write chains of if/else blocks just to handle behavioral differences across 10+ forked EVMs.

No one wants that complexity in their JavaScript. No wallet team wants to maintain it either.

Conform to EVM or get left behind. Ethereum didn’t enforce that rule - the ecosystem did.

[Nickolas Tazes @nickolas_tazes]

@ec265 I get that the sentiment is negative, but it’s ridiculous that ETH has become the punching bag of scammers and pseudo-allocators

[Nickolas Tazes @nickolas_tazes]

@TedPillows What are these posts?

Which top 10 coin outperforms ethereum:native by so much that you are losing patience with it?

Only hyperliquid:native is having its moment because it’s ready to replace SOL in the coming year or two

[Railgun not Intern @RailgunIntern]

Like this tweet if you still own Ethereum.

@peduarte I would really like to know how you approach product development. Last summer, I sent a feature request, and support responded that it is indeed “this would be helpful”. The feature literally takes 2-3 hours to implement. Fast forward 1 year, and there is no sign of the feature
