Reality is @Bankless guys don't seem to realize that their entire brand was built early on because the ethereum:native community rallied around them and consciously championed them. As the years went on and the undermining of Ethereum grew, the community felt rugged by the social contract (imo justifiably). People are free to hold whatever assets they want and shouldn't be judged by any of that, but the public shitting on ethereum:native is just adding insult to injury to an audience that is the literal reason for where you are today. You want to sell, trade, etc? Great, by all means, do your thing, but why make a spectacle of it? Don't like where the EF is going? Great, do something about it, get loud, use your platform to push for change, etc. The hilarious part is there isn't a Plan B here unfortunately for the world. @ethereum, for better and for worse is still the best hedge to all this insanity. If I'm wrong here, prove it. The Titanic is sinking, and running around grabbing $$$ is a fool's errand. Believe in somETHing. ethereum:native

In my teens and 20's I would spend way too much time playing Starcraft and Civilization. Harvesting resources, building things, and expanding was super addictive to my brain - to an almost unhealthy degree. Later I realized that entrepreneurship and business is the ultimate game. It scratches the same itch for me (resources, building, expanding), but you're actually contributing to humanity at the end of the day, which can be much more fulfilling. Business is also much more positive sum than video games. In Starcraft, the other player has to lose for you to win. In business, there is competition, but in a growing market there can be multiple winners. And gains compound long term (it's a infinite game) instead of starting over each time. Now days I prefer to watch pros play video games to unwind, instead of playing video games myself. But a quick game can still be fun here and there to unwind. By contrast, the game of business is played over many decades.

I'm an ETH Maxi. All my money is in ETH. I'm a developer on the Ethereum chain. Solidity was my very first programming language. My first scan was etherscan. My first gas fees was in ETH My first smart contract was deployed on the Ethereum blockchain. My first payout in USDC on ETH My first wallet hack on Ethereum. My life is deployed on the Ethereum blockchain.

Ethereum Researcher Justin Drake, who co-authored Google's recent quantum paper: "I've stopped thinking about post-quantum as a hurdle that we have to overcome, and I think of it more as an opportunity. It's an opportunity for Ethereum to stand out as the very first global financial system that is post-quantum secure — not just relative to its competitors, but also relative to fiat and tradfi." Justin also believes quantum presents an opportunity for Ethereum to become the best version of itself: “The move to post-quantum is essentially a rewrite, and that’s a massive opportunity to start with a clean slate and wipe our technical debt.” The rewrite bundles post-quantum security with a new ZK virtual machine (LeanVM) that can snarkify the entire consensus layer in real time. The result is that the Ethereum L1 can scale to 10,000 TPS at 1 gigagas/second — while simultaneously becoming quantum-secure. Source: @Bankless (Mar 2026)

This ain’t just nostalgia. 🐂✨ The Bulls are back and the roadmap is loud: ▶️ ODK access to Otherside ▶️ Bulls Island nearly ready on Nifty Island ▶️ 3D avatars for Bulls and Bears ▶️ Moo-lah yield every day Stack enough Moo-lah and you could be walking off with a Koda or MAYC (after @BlowiesNFT mint out). Don’t watch from the fence, jump in. Start in the @unvault Discord (link in BOTB pinned post) and say "I wanna milk this bull!"

Guys, you say that "ENS" (Labs ≠ DAO) should do more adoption work. Why not start a good project that helps adoption and ask the DAO for money if you think it will help? What do you think is necessary for adoption? Let's think about it together
