I've actively contributed to the crypto community since 2015. everyone was weird, nobody cared abt your private life, we were all focused on crypto. the NFT craze of 2021 brought in a new crowd who's more woke authoritarian for some reason. i felt the shift even b4 i got canceled.

ETHEREUM IS ACTUALLY DOING REALLY WELL. No, this isn't "worse than past bear markets" 😂, everyone calm down, it's not even remotely close. Here are some facts:. 1) ETH Price.As I write this, the ETH Price is around $1900, which yes is lower than the ATH in Nov 2021, but it's.

wooowww i hope people realize this is not only big for ENS, this is massive **for Ethereum in general**. godaddy is the largest DNS registrar in the world, a critical part of the "traditional internet" ecosystem. I can attest from first hand experience how just a few years ago.
We're thrilled to announce our partnership with @GoDaddy 🎉. Millions of customers can now use their DNS domains in the ENS ecosystem!. Let's dive into what this means👇

REAL FACTS about Ethereum in Feb 2025, any one of which would have been insanely bullish at any point prior to 5 minutes ago:. - **POTUS is buying ETH** lol.- POTUS family has their .eth names, *and they bought them on secondary for thousands of dollars*.- POTUS son literally.

the "generational" divide (not by age but by when people entered the industry) in the crypto industry is real. OGs are more libertarian (whether they are left or right), noobs tend to be more authoritarian (almost entirely from the woke left).

ENS is *lightyears* ahead of all other blockchain naming protocol attempts. it's not even close, I'm serious. ive personally talked to ppl at basically all the other attempts you've heard of (and many you haven't) and *none* even understood ENS let alone naming in general.

A common misconception about Sign-in w/ Ethereum (SIWE) is that it's just another name for Connect Wallet (CW). SIWE *uses* CW, but goes further. Both are needed in different apps depending on how a service works. It's important for both users & devs to know the difference👇.1/

serious q: why did Democrats turn anti-crypto? don't give lazy answers like "they're stupid" etc. this was not inevitable (and could be reversed). is it as simple as the banking lobby was more successful w/ them behind the scenes than w/ republicans? or that dems increasingly.

narrative on the timeline: "ethereum is dying!". reality: ethereum and its L2s are so successful beyond all expectations that we have the problem of needing to scale L2 support even faster.
Ethereum L2s are about to hit a brick wall. 55% of all blob space is already consumed by just 2 chains. And at current growth rates, we're only months away from everything breaking. Here's what's happening 🧵

dear ENS community:. ENS is the best chance we've ever had a decentralized naming and identity system. among many many attempts, it's the only one to have gotten this far. but it could definitely all still fail. we have to work hard as a community to make sure we don't blow it.
