You know you're living in a healthy democracy when everyone has to pay for a VPN to stop the state from spying on them.

is it just me or has claude fable 5 gotten noticeably worse?

no need to listen to people who keep talking about exiting crypto and yet all they talk about is crypto if you’re going to have an opinion please just stick to it and kindly fuck off

My post about a fake Citadel interview question on counting buckets made it to LinkedIn lmao

Most people still holding $eth are likely ready to go down with the ship; at least I am. Ethereum is a bastion of freedom and self-sovereignty in an increasingly controlled world. No amount of number go down could get me to sell. Even with most of my net worth in eth, I would hold it to literal zero. I would rather take a chance on eth and be wrong than give up hope on the most inspiring invention of my generation. Come zero or valhalla, I'll be here. Believe in somΞthing.

they're offering spacex ipo at the grocery store checkout

its pointless for crypto projects to precomply by weakening their privacy, because the surveillance state is just interested in protecting their capacity to surveil even if it goes far beyond the written rules. they will always want more than you compromised

my crypto investment thesis is rather simple: Ethereum is the only smart contract platform that takes the blockchain trilemma seriously, aiming for security, decentralization, and scalability while upholding the cypherpunk ethos of neutrality and self sovereignty. It was slacking on the scalability aspect for a while but that is now the primary focus without sacrificing security or decentralization. The current incremental steps have made transactions affordable now. The zk-rollup-ification of L1 in the roadmap will make it ultra scalable, too. Dumbchains are not interesting as they have no on chain economies, and vc corposlop smart chains are cynical extraction machines. Ethereum alone points to a brighter future that takes the masses some kind of power or agency back from the ever growing corpo fascist trend the world is moving to. When ETH does well, the entire industry does well, and vice versa. No other blockchain ecosystem has people willing to fight for it like Ethereum, evidenced by the multitudes of devs and projects who choose to work on it without needing to be lured in by VCs and fat cheques. These very qualities that make it appealing to cypherpunks also make it appealing to institutions as time after time, they prefer to work on open and neutral systems rather than closed/proprietary or biased ones. Sure we all have nitpicks about the EF, myself included, but to their credit, they have cultivated an ecosystem that people care about beyond just pumping bags. It has a soul in an often soulless industry. If ETH fails, then crypto has failed and the world will be a materially worse place. Call me naive or dumb, but I’d rather fight for something worthy of fighting for than succumb to a nihilistic stance focused solely on self-enrichment. In short, it is the only chain/ecosystem in the space that isn’t garbage.

One look at the Tempo shills and boi oh boi am I glad the EF is choosing the cypherpunk mandate. Image how fucking doomed we would be if the EF decided to become a corpo BD slop fest like all these other chains.

I’ve been on hiatus and hopefully you already know this about me, but just to be vocally clear: fuck fascism. Anyone making excuses right now cannot be trusted, period.
