Simulating the peak ETH burn from last bull run on Ethereum's new POS supply dynamic = -2.8% deflation rate
Use of L2s will change gas consumption at some point, but will they need to decentralize to see mass adoption?
An interesting thought experiment for next cycle...

The Web3 music industry once tried to take on Spotify. But the times they are a-changin’.

“Alternative investments … have been all the rage in recent years. And you might well want an alternative to losing money. Just make sure you don’t end up with an alternative to making it instead.”
Well said 👏🏻
Just described myself as a “details maxi.” Time to take a break from crypto.

DCG is under mounds of financial and public pressure.
Barry Silbert is nostalgic and optimistic — and armed with his version of answers to some of crypto's biggest questions lately.
If you're wondering about what's going on with $GBTC, you're not alone.
If it helps, I cobbled together more than 3,000 words to tell you all about it.

8/ My reporting on FTX's hiring efforts was a "bit too optimistic," SBF told the world on June 30. Huh.
Quote Tweet
Replying to @michael_bodley
er "in the cards" is a bit too optimistic I think, more like "above that is not particularly in the cards, likely will be less than that"
re: raise: the quoted raise specs were never something we were considering, and we haven't 'decided against' anything we *were* considering.
