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

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

Millions of customers can now use their DNS domains in the ENS ecosystem!

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👇

Update on Virgil Griffith:
Virgil has been in solitary confinement for nearly 3 months. Not as a punishment but b/c it was the only place they had available beds in his prison 🤦♂️.
He'll be moved to the general population once there's room, but it's unclear when that will be.

Devs start project. Realize they need help w/ the non-dev stuff. Hire BD, comms, & community ppl... who don't understand crypto 😬

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

happy 1st anniversary of ENS DAO and token launch! 🍾
among DAOs, it's been one of the most successful & active. i think this is true for at least 2 reasons:

2) the DAO genuinely has a critical role to play

The Crypto Industry must become a mission-focused industry.
Wasting time on issues not directly related to the mission of the crypto industry is a short-lived false luxury of bull markets.
But the bear market is back and devs are in jail.

- CCIP-read enables free unlimited subnames
