I’M BACK After 3 years of silence, I owe the #Ethereum community a thread🧵 This thread is about why I left, what I’ve been through, and why I’m finally ready to return ❤️

Hey everyone, I’ve taken a break recently to spend more time with my family. I’m going to take a break through the holidays so I can really focus on my kids & make more memories with them. I’ll be back, just taking the time to be present with my family. Appreciate all of you!

Another day, another 100% uptime for $ETH Can your ETH killer claim that?

BREAKING: AXIE AND RONIN SPOTTED LIVE ON PAWN STARS! @Jihoz_Axie, @cloudwhite, and Puffy pulled up to the legendary @GoldSilverPawn Shop in Las Vegas. Through their efforts, Rick Harrison and Chumlee have officially been onboarded to Crypto and the Ronin Network 🤝 🧵👇

December’s Fusaka upgrade is a major step in Ethereum's roadmap. It's proof that Ethereum can evolve responsibly, scaling to meet global demand without compromising decentralization. Learn how Fusaka will unlock the next wave of growth: ethereum.org/roadmap/fusaka/

Ethereum is the ultimate institutional asset.

Massive Bitcoin whales are selling all of their BTC and buying ETH Probably nothing 🐬

🚨 Ethereum supply on exchanges is vanishing For the first time in history, there is now LESS $ETH on exchanges than $BTC and ETH is being withdrawn at a faster rate than Bitcoin 👀 Ethereum is becoming the most scarce asset in crypto There soon won’t be enough ETH to go around

SoFi Bank becomes the first and only nationally Chartered Bank to launch Ethereum and crypto trading for consumers 🔥

🚨 JUST IN: Real estate tycoon Grant Cardone with over $4B in property investments met Tom Lee. “ETH BTC Real Estate =” Ethereum is becoming the foundation of tokenized real estate. $ETH $BMNR $BTC

"We are reinventing the cryptographic wheel that will give us this superpower. To the maximum extent possible we reach this ideal endgame. Ethereum finalizes on the order of 15 minutes, we’re hoping to bring that down to 15 seconds” - @drakefjustin That means Ethereum is about to be 64 times faster without making any tradeoffs in security Ethereum is scaling, buckle up ⟠

US Treasury Secretary Bessent announces that $2,000 tariff stimulus checks will most likely be going to all Americans who make less than $100,000/year $ETH went up 24X in 12 months the last time they gave out stimulus checks 👀

JPMorgan is launching JPM Coin on Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain Base 👀 Here's what to know: - Unlike stablecoins, deposit tokens are digital claims on existing bank funds and can be interest-bearing, offering a new option for institutional investors. - Allows payments to settle in seconds, anytime, around the clock, rather than taking days and being restricted to business hours, and follows a months-long trial involving major players like Mastercard, Coinbase, and B2C2 - The coin will be accepted as collateral on Coinbase - Other banks, such as Bank of New York Mellon and HSBC, are also developing similar deposit token solutions - “We think that stablecoins get a lot of buzz, for institutional clients, deposit-based products offer a compelling narrative" The entire world continues to adopt Ethereum as the chain of choice 🔥

Ethereum is scaling

Ethereum had more stablecoin inflows than all other chains combined in the past 24 hours 🔥

Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest bought an additional 240K shares of Bitmine Immersion in the past 24 hours 🔥 ARK Invest now owns over 6.58 MILLION shares of $BMNR That's a $246 MILLION bet on the largest $ETH treasury company in the world

ethereum is trending towards becoming DEFLATIONARY over time, the key catalyst for a trillion-dollar eth valuation. in the last 30 days, ethereum burned 9,676 ETH. annualized, that’s 116,112 ETH burned, roughly $380M per year. ETH issuance is ~0.7%, around 971,000 ETH per year. if more high-throughput L2s/apps like Lighter continue to emerge, blob burn could move closer to issuance, pushing ETH towards net deflation. a quick background: EIP-4844 introduced blob gas last year where all blob fees are burned. as rollups scale, blob usage scales, burning ETH. Lighter, crypto’s most active perpdex right now, showed how far zk blobs can push throughput on Ethereum without sacrificing L1 security. this is still early. as rollups expand and consumer apps emerge, blob fees are positioned to become a major driver of ETH burn.
