In no time, Vitalik Buterin responded with a "quick merge" proposal to escalate the ETH 2.0 merge.

One of like 10+ ideas, but:
I would love to see coordinated adoption of free / open / decentralized / privacy-friendly tech go much deeper than just zupass and zupoll.

👀 ETH 2.0 merge appears to be tentatively scheduled for October 2021, in the Shanghai hard fork.
Proof-of-stake is coming... *this year*??
@mkalinin2
has proposed to prioritize The Merge™️ after the London hard fork (EIP-1559).
Status received 46,296.3 ENS tokens (~3.7 MM USD) from the airdrop.
Status has an integration with ENS, users can (and many have) registered stateofus.eth domains.
What should we do with the airdropped tokens?
Tell us:
Not only has Robinhood blocked all buys of $GME, $AMC, $NOK & $NAKD, but they actually *hid* these tickers from their search.
This is

's moment. This is where we shine. No more financial censorship. No more bailing out the hedge funds.
The ETH 2.0 merge may be coming sooner than expected!
Recent comments from
@VitalikButerin
& Danny Ryan suggest that phase 1.5 (merge) will be prioritized over phase 1 (data sharding).
Facebook is dying. In desperation, they wear the aesthetic of Web3.
If Facebook wants to help people understand privacy, data hygiene, and censorship resistance, awesome.
But they won't. This is about profit, not progress.
Slack servers down? There's a far better way. Consider switching to Status to help build a decentralized future where communication doesn't rely on servers at all.
A special thanks to our growing developer community, today we just passed 100 contributors and 2k commits to the status-react repository! We’re going to do amazing things together in 2018. Star the repo to keep watch

#WhatsApp
with news of mandatory data-sharing with
#Facebook
, let's look at the architecture of Status and what we value in private messaging
What do you look for in a messenger?
Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp are all currently experiencing major outages due to server issues.
Gosh, *if only* there was some kind of decentralized alternative that allowed for private communication with, say, a global censorship-resistant P2P network.
Ongoing stories of data leaks and manipulation highlight the systematic flaws in the architecture of incumbent social platforms.
#Web3
and P2P technologies provide us with clear path towards sovereignty and data ownership. Will you make the shift to
#decentralized
solutions?
We’re thrilled to announce the release of Alpha version 0.9.15! There are some great improvements to the UI and performance. Check out all the details on our blog

People will end up using Ethereum in one way or another *without even knowing it*.
This is already happening with NFTs. They've surpassed the word "Ethereum" in trending search terms.
How long before the new mainstream FinTech apps are powered by DeFi?
Since the WhatsApp privacy scandal, we've seen a sharp spike in the number of unique peers within the Status Network, reaching our all-time of 6,912.
People are beginning to take their privacy into their own hands. This is only the beginning.

"We lost our security a long time ago. We’ve lost our privacy and it’s been abused" -Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak addressing WeAreDevelopers World Congress in Vienna
Let us not forget how the former director of the NSA, Michael Hayden, said:
"We kill people based on metadata."
Don't just encrypt your messages. Encrypt everything.
So Visa just announced they are now settling transactions directly on Ethereum, and the media *still* somehow makes this about Bitcoin? 😅
If you think you're late, you're not. We are still in the very early days.
