Ethereum is the substrate for a revolution in human cooperation. Borderless, permissionless, frictionless, automated. It's the digital internet equivalent of companies and contracts. But so much more, the same way that social networks are more than physical mail.

Most people don’t care about decentralization. And it’s our fault.

Outsiders don't care about blockchain decentralization (yet!) because we are not good enough at explaining why it's desirable. We need better practical examples and they should be our 30 sec elevator pitches. Props to

@MacBudkowski

Why do most people not care about decentralization? Why it's our fault? And how could we show them the true value of it?

1/ A SCAM YOU SIGNED YOURSELF Crypto wallet signature and approval scams are rampant. Why does this happen? What actions can a community take to prevent these scams? Is this universal: is it specific to Ethereum's design, are other blockchains safer?

bitcoin news for ethereans: so essentially bitcoin already includes a type of heavily discounted (-75%) eip-4844-style blobspace called the ”segwit discount” since 2017. that blobspace is now being abused by taproot to make full-block (≤4mb) bitcoin NFTs 10x cheaper than ETH L1.

The ramifications of practical ZK tech boggles the mind. Unlikely quirk of nature. Straight magic.

Replying to

Decentralization is generally pretty straightforward, but can be hard to measure and easy to fake; to which degree does significant decisions require more and more independent people to agree.

Maybe we should allow to link different addresses having soulbound tokens (thus fusing them from a soulbound perspective). A bit like the way that when you start something anonymously you can dox yourself and merge both of your identities. 1/3

ETH-only RAI was a mistake the ETH staking yield means that borrowing RAI against pure ETH will always have some % opportunity cost the RAI redemption rate should almost always be negative to reflect this opportunity cost decentralization is expensive, people don't want to pay

Replying to @JaEsf @TimBeiko and @MichaelYouKnow

Some may find this clearer: - $1 is minted to reward validator for new block - Tx senders pay $2 in fees: $1 (also) paid to validator, $1 burned So, in net: - $1 is created (by protocol) - $1 is burned (from senders) - Senders pay $2 - Validator gets $2 - Net supply change is $0

The crypto version of reinventing the wheel. This is Solana admitting that it can't prioritise transactions without increasing fees - negating one of its main differentiators vs other blockchains.

How long before an automated generalized MEV bot executes a smart contract hack without its human owner even knowing it?

Allright, I'll go on record: There's no exceptional synergy between AI and Blockchain. Using AI in combination with Blockchain is not necessarily worthless, but makes less sense than most things you could supercharge with AI.

Pro tip: If your crypto price analyst predicts anything about $ETH using any data from more than the last 100 days and he ignores that $ETH net issuance basically stopped, he has no idea what he's doing.

Kinda telling that the question needs answering, right?

Policy will be adjusted to suspending accounts only when that account’s *primary* purpose is promotion of competitors, which essentially falls under the no spam rule

Since when is Twitter a "traditional publisher"? The content of Twitter belong to the users, not the platform. Spamming is already against the rules. This is a massive overstep and does not reflect what regular users want.

Exactly. Twitter should be easy to use, but no more relentless free advertising of competitors. No traditional publisher allows this and neither will Twitter.
