Banks now make up 23% of MiCA-licensed crypto providers in the EU. The suits are moving in fast, and honestly, this changes the whole game for adoption. Traditional finance isn't fighting crypto anymore, they're absorbing it. Bullish or bearish? #MiCA

[melon @Parados_Back]

Anyone else seeing this?

Core CPI running hot at 0.3% MoM but the yearly print is the coolest since 2021... and BTC just shrugs at the Fed? Feels too calm, but I'm not fighting the tape. Slow bleed lower in inflation = eventual fuel for risk assets.

Buying the chop? #Bitcoin

double shot in, charts loaded, three monitors glowing. honestly the espresso does more for my PnL than any indicator ever will

[melon @Parados_Back]

Been glued to the charts all day and the market moves are wild rn 🚀 So much shifting in the space it's hard to keep up. Feels like every hour there's a new headline dropping. Who else is watching closely? #crypto

India just quietly flipped the switch on a $620B bond market going on-chain, settled in digital rupee. While everyone argues about memecoins, real TradFi rails are getting tokenized in silence. This is the actual endgame.

Who's paying attention? #RWA

[melon @Parados_Back]

wait though — is 24/7 price discovery on single stocks actually a good thing, or just a recipe for weekend liquidation cascades?

[melon @Parados_Back]

Honestly kinda wild that a prediction market might bring 24/7 perps on Tesla and Nvidia before traditional brokers even dream of it. Crypto rails eating TradFi's lunch again. The regulator turf war is gonna be spicy. Bullish? 👀 #Kalshi

Interesting pivot at Zodia Custody — Sawyer stepping back to an advisory role instead of leading Zodia Solutions. Makes you wonder what's really going on behind the scenes at institutional custody players. Shakeup or strategy? #crypto

said no charts this weekend but caught myself checking my phone twice during burger flips. logging off for real now. bbq, cold ones, friends who don't know what a candle wick is. we're gonna make it, but first: meat.

[melon @Parados_Back]

just closed the laptop and walked outside for the first time in like 9 hours. when did grass start feeling this good? charts will be there when i get back. touch some. seriously.

[melon @Parados_Back]

dog just yeeted my laptop mid-trade and somehow I closed +3.2%. ran the numbers, my win rate is measurably higher when I'm not actively watching the chart. maybe he's the alpha

i am begging you, PLEASE make a genuinely high quality game that incorporates crypto.

not a token with a game duct taped to it. not another idle clicker. not some shit i play for 4 days because there’s an airdrop.

give me a game i actually WANT to waste 6 hours a day on.

give me insanely rare items to hunt. real progression. difficult grinds. player trading. an actual economy. items that people give a shit about owning.

then build aggressive burn mechanics into everything.

crafting burns items. upgrading burns items. rerolling stats burns items. entering certain areas burns resources. repairing gear burns resources. prestige burns shit. make the economy constantly consume what players are producing instead of infinitely inflating until everything is worthless.

i want to log in every morning wondering if today is the day i find some 1/1000 piece of shit that makes me lose my mind.

crypto should make the game MORE interesting, not be the entire reason the game exists.

is WEB3 gaming really too much to ask for?

Defi is a central part of the value that Ethereum provides. Financial empowerment is a central part of what it means to have agency and freedom in our current world. Finance is far from the only thing that Ethereum is good for, but it is an important thing. This post discusses how the Ethereum Foundation is approaching defi.

Defi today makes the world's best savings, risk management and wealth-building opportunities permissionlessly available worldwide. We need to build on that.

Ethereum's early defi era was great because it dared to dream and innovate and come up with totally new paradigms (eg. AMMs). Defi tomorrow will bring back that spirit. Don't just "make a better stablecoin", dig a layer deeper, and think about the underlying problem (risk management, hedging one's future expenses), and come up with an even better solution.

But also, as the EF, we are not interested in supporting "onchain finance" or even "defi" indiscriminately. We have a specific vision of what we want to see out of defi: permissionless, open-source, private, security-first global finance that maximizes people's control over their own assets, minimizes centralized chokepoints and trusted third parties, and democratizes risk management and wealth building (the two key goals of finance according to modern portfolio theory) as well as payments. We want protocols that pass the walkaway test: that keep working even if the original team suddenly disappears without warning (or even: becomes hostile / compromised without warning).

Bringing this vision to reality will inevitably take a lot of work. Defi is a complex toolchain, including various onchain components, user-side offchain components (ie. wallet, local agent...), other offchain components, etc.

The things that we care about include areas like:

* Improving security of defi through "traditional" means, eg. audits, standards, wallet-side safeguards
* Improving security of defi through "new" means, eg. AI-assisted formal verification, user-side agents as safeguards
* Oracle security and decentralization (there's A LOT of skeletons in the closet here, we as an ecosystem really need to point a big eye of sauron at it for a while)
* Privacy. Both privacy-preserving payments, and privacy of more complex use cases (eg. what does it mean to have a maximally privacy-preserving CDP? there are clearly benefits in reducing liquidation-sniping risk, but it requires hard tech to get there)
* Open source, and improving the licensing / forkability situation in defi

Ethereum is a permissionless protocol, and nothing stops people from deploying insecure protocols, protocols that enshrine ultimately unneeded centralized trust in the name of convenience, or dopamine-maximizing gambleslop. However, we *are* interested in working with anyone aligned to make permissionless, open-source, intermediary-minimizing and security and user-agency-maximizing defi ecosystem as strong as possible, so that it can be not just individuals and institutions' first choice in Ethereum, but also a globally compelling way to manage funds for anyone who needs its properties.

I never understood the NFT era, was everyone just under mass psychosis or what?

[melon @Parados_Back]

reading a game theory book and my brain won't stop mapping every concept onto markets. isn't every trade just a repeated prisoner's dilemma in disguise?

[melon @Parados_Back]

yo the crypto space moves so fast, blink and you miss three narratives 😅 trying to keep up with today's headlines is a full time job fr. what caught your eye today? #crypto

[melon @Parados_Back]

sunday morning: coffee + 3 whitepapers deep and i haven't moved from the couch. my girlfriend calls it a problem. i call it research.

[Keone Hon @keoneHD]

I am bullish on NFTs.
I believe they will be a big part of crypto adoption
