@dropgenius It’s egregious

In 2018 after 15 years of living in my car and eating out 3x per day I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, pre-diabetes, hypothyroidism, and acid reflux. My doctor was very blunt and told me “I am prescribing you these medicines but they will not save you, if you do not make a change you will die an early death.” I had reached a level in my career and education so that I no longer needed a second full time job or had classes to attend at night . I had no excuses!! Instead of filling the prescriptions I committed to a drastic health plan and lost over 115 lbs in under a year eliminating the need for any of the medications prescribed .! 5 years later half the weight is back and my sugars are back in pre-diabetes range. I maintained for many years but last year broke me! I was weak and allowed professional challenges to increase my eating. Food for reward of a hard days work , treating myself like an animal. The challenges continue and may have even gotten harder but It’s time to double down!! In 2018 I did keto and fasting. It felt like magic. I was not hungry and had more mental and physical energy than I have ever felt. Today I am committed to returning to a no sugar lifestyle and regaining my health! Im in the middle of these 2 guys and Im going left!!!

@dropgenius Blocking me for some real shit yo this … the fact that people Like this look down on people Like me is why I am where I am going & yall couldn’t figure it out

@dropgenius Dude take care of yourself what in the fucc

Not trying to be overly critical I love megaeth everything about it & don’t believe anyone other than ALEX HERMAN THIEF BITCH ASS has acted anything other than outstandingly ethical even if at times unreasonable like defending Alex banning me because I found out he drained my wallet twice

@HighTrustCrypto @OlricOnlyfornft Customer Acquisition Cost is a common concept in business. That is what the portal was supposed to do , incentivize use of apps to gain long term customers.

I’ve read a lot of what has been said about MegaETH over the past week. As someone who has been part of this family from the very beginning, I wanted to share a few thoughts. This might be a bit long, so here’s a quick TL;DR first. • Still believe in MegaETH. • Ending Terminal may have been the right call, but it should have been designed better from the start. • The real issue was communication, and not clearly separating real community members from short-term farmers. • Going forward, Mega needs clearer communication, fairer visibility, and a better way to listen to early contributors. Starting with Terminal. Personally, I didn’t really farm aggressively or try to collect as many points as possible. I don’t understand farming that well, and with so many gambling-like apps around, I stayed away from doing transactions just for the sake of activity. But I understand the criticism. People used Terminal, spent points, boosted, collected NFTs and positioned themselves around a certain risk/reward expectation. And in the end, some of them lost money. Of course, you can say “this is crypto, profit and loss are part of the game.” That is true to a point. But Terminal was not just random onchain activity. It was a program introduced by MegaETH and it guided users toward certain behaviors. So reducing everything to “users took the risk” feels incomplete to me. I think ending Terminal may have been the right decision. If a system is systematically pushing regular users into losses saying “let them lose if they want to” is not healthy for the long-term future of the ecosystem. But the real issue is that these risks should have been seen earlier. Before Terminal was launched in this form, there should have been clearer limits, clearer expectations, and much better communication. For me, the core problem was communication. Another issue is visibility inside the ecosystem. Without naming anyone, I do think there has been a perception that some projects were pushed forward more than necessary, while some other projects and early contributors did not receive the value or attention they deserved. And this is where the distinction matters: real community members and short-term farmers should not be treated as the same thing. For almost a year, there have been people creating content, testing apps, giving feedback, helping new users, and genuinely trying to make the ecosystem more visible. Those people were not only chasing rewards. They gave time, effort, feedback, and attention to MegaETH before it became the center of this much noise. I think their voices could have been heard more. But the community side also needs to be honest with itself. People who see themselves as the “real community” may have built too many expectations too. When you feel deeply connected to something, you can become blind to certain things. You start expecting more. And when that expectation is not met, disappointment becomes inevitable. Honestly, I expected better. Still, I remain optimistic about MegaETH. There is still strong technology here, interesting apps, and a community that genuinely cares. But from here, technology alone will not be enough. MegaETH needs better communication, fairer visibility, and a better way to recognize the people who contributed early. Now I’m curious to see what the next phase looks like. Let’s see how MegaETH moves forward from here.

@dropgenius @OlricOnlyfornft By encouraging people to buy hyped risk weighted in your favor?

@elonmusk since an early age i been on the game, ya a bloc steppa; no more baby g now on chain me n grok some blocc | greppas

Grok Build is still in beta for another month or so, but is already quite useful for production tasks

@elonmusk me n grok got the #s on loc; y'all say quant but we say cuonter - we finna make yall less n drop the O !

@elonmusk lol… I must say the timing is welcomed. I wasn’t planning on sleeping much anyway definitely FULL SPEED AHEAD whether it’s @L1qd_app_L2Eth or BTC/Eth/SOL’s successor (there will be something far better soon) I can’t say I can recall such exciting times!

Grok foundation model V9-Medium (1.5T) has finished training. Evals look good. A lot of Cursor data was added in supplementary training and there is more to come. Fine-tuning is underway and reinforcement learning begins in a few days. 2 to 3 weeks to public release. This will be a major improvement over the 0.5T v8-small that currently serves all Grok production traffic, especially for difficult coding tasks.

@elonmusk NO NOW NOW NOW WHY

@kevinleeus @kylenabecker which group had the highest IQ before whites overtook them?

@kylenabecker OK, white men did a good job. Acknowledged. Let’s let that era go. We don’t need white men anymore for any kind of innovation at this point.

Western Civilization didn't flourish because "white males" stopped other groups from succeeding. The West thrived because of rational thought, individual rights, and free enterprise. "White males" that invented the steam engine, electric generation, the combustion engine, flight, and space exploration did not do so because they "stole" the ideas of minorities. These inventions helped lift mankind out of ignorance and hardship, improving the quality of life for all of humanity. "White males" didn't oppress the entire world, they helped make it a better place. "White males" didn't oppress everyone's rights, they invented the idea of rights and paid in blood to liberate tens of millions of people. "White males" didn't invent slavery, they ended it. "White males" didn't invent tyranny, they devised a form of government to end it. Destroying Western Civilization isn't about empowering groups that were "oppressed." It is about tearing down civilization itself so that globalist parasites can rule over all of us.

@PythonDvz cal-i 2x & 1v5'd rambo ksharp soh sal & the other zEx guy maybe? on de_cbble w/ 2 falling hs's on left door off the boxes, a second drop with one of their K's to hs 1 the first of 2 more, last 1 stalled to plant right oh yeah that was an eco round for us ha

Is this game still remembered by anyone? If so, it's probable that they are over 40 years old 🤣

@mattvanswol @RealJamesWoods Wait til you find out slavery was a lie

@RealJamesWoods I find myself becoming more and more radicalized on the crime epidemic in the country. I no longer believe justice is being served, by any reasonable metric. We have to completely overhaul the justice system to deliver harsh punishments to those who commit violent crimes.

Tortured for months, finally and mercifully she died alone in the filthy hovel of her captor. Democrats will condemn society, and forgive her killer. Others believe a brutal public execution will be the first step on the long road to reclaiming civilization in our nation.

@mattvanswol When will people ask the real question… how we wound up like this in the first place. Want a hint? Slavery is a lie

Her name was Isabella Stroupe. She was 19. She loved books. Her family called her Bella. She was tied to a bed with a tow strap and tortured for months in an east Charlotte NC apartment. Multiple broken bones. St*b wounds. R*ped repeatedly. Her mother said she screamed and screamed when she found out. Thomaz Hamilton, a violent repeat offender is charged with first-degree m*rder and first-degree r*pe. Months. She was alive in there for months. Say her name. Isabella Stroupe. WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS.

@VitalikButerin @leolanza @ethereumfndn @aerugoettinea And it isn’t TPS — that’s impressive & it shouldn’t be some constraint that limits scaling but missing on that, missing on privacy (it wholly anon user toggle) - a fallen short capitalizing on optimizing the ethical value of anon transactions. The best is yet to be built imho

Some of my perspective on where the @ethereumfndn is going. First of all, this is only my own view. The board is not just me, and I have no extra special powers on the board that the other board members do not. @aerugoettinea is the one executing much of this transition. My input has been largely on technical questions. The board is in the process of expanding, and my own power within the org will continue to decrease, which is honestly what I want. The 2025 era brought many important improvements to EF and its ability to execute. Many issues were resolved, and EF continues to benefit from its improved efficiency and greater focus on concrete goals to this day. And so with those problems resolved, early this year, the largest remaining hole that I perceived was something different nagging at me: I would regularly spot people saying things like "vitalik says these beautiful things about ethereum needing to be decentralized, and have privacy, and be a sanctuary technology, but why do the EF's actions not reflect that?" Now, you may have been hearing something different. You may not have been sensing a feeling of crisis at all, and maybe were hearing people saying that finally we were taking execution and BD seriously and the main task for us is to keep going that way and be even better and faster. Then probably there is genuine difference between you and me, in what kinds of criticism I take most seriously, and what kinds of critics through their criticism are most able to make me feel pain. As an analogy, let's briefly switch over to a different domain. One belief you can have about Google is that it is a success story, and has brought a lot of good to humanity in organizing the world's information. Another belief you can have about Google is that they had a beautiful idealistic beginning, but at some point the corruption of mainstream corporate attitudes seeped in, and they slowly bit by bit completely abandoned the "don't be evil" slogan. My belief on Google specifically is probably somewhere between the two. BUT, if you had taken me back in time to ~2008, and offered me a button to press to make Google one or two standard deviations more "dogmatic", eg. give Richard Stallman permanent veto power over some key policies, I would immediately press it. Why? Because a choice for one company is not a choice for the world, or even one country. Google existed and exists in the context of a technology industry generally drifting away from early idealistic don't-be-evil roots and toward greed for financial gain, totalizing visions of accelerated superintelligence, infiltration by sociopaths, and craven capitulation to (or worse, active participation in) government pressure for ideological control, surveillance and war. And so *one company* doing something different, positioning itself to be what George Bernard Shaw calls the Unreasonable Man, resisting the trend of the times, would have been better for freedom, balance of power and stability of society as a whole, than *all* large companies bending to dominant trends. This is a part of my version of pluralism. This line of thinking is not just mine, but I also is not too far off from what Aya and others had in mind with the Mandate. Now how does this all get to the role of the EF? EF is not a "center of Ethereum", rather EF is "one node, with a defined purpose, alongside other nodes". We've always said that the EF should be the latter, but many in the Ethereum ecosystem (and even within the EF) wanted us to be the former. Now, we are taking action to ensure that we will be the latter. This is particularly important because EF is a limited organization, with limited resources and limited organizational capacity. The EF has only ~0.16% of all ETH (less than many other individual ETH holders), whereas among other blockchains it's common for "the central foundation" to have 10-50%. Fiscally, the EF was originally designed to fulfill a limited work scope defined in the token sale docs and other pre-launch materials (building the chain software; getting through Frontier, Homestead, Metropolis, Serenity), which was fully completed in 2022; it was not designed to be an eternal steward. And so today, the EF is choosing to use its remaining resources to pursue longevity over breadth (yes, this means we sell less ETH). The EF focuses *specifically* on those activities critical to the success of ethereum as a censorship/capture-resistant, open, private and secure system, that would not happen otherwise. This means making hard choices, and in some cases even activities that we highly approve of and people that we highly respect becoming outside of the EF. People of great technical talent, public respect and even alignment with the mission and CROPS being outside of the EF is in fact necessary if we want important tasks to be able to attract outside capital. This also means the EF taking opinionated stands culturally. This is all intended in cooperation with all other parts of ethereum. We recognize that many other parts of the ethereum world highly respect CROPS and related values. But highly respecting is not the same as choosing to specialize and totally dedicate to a domain (Compare in a different domain: I think reducing animal cruelty is important, and I like vegan food, but am not full unconditional vegan myself) EF is still in a transition period, and we expect its new long-term form to stabilize over the next few months. What are the guiding principles of this new form? Again, I am only one person, but I can give my answer from a technical perspective (there are also critical non-technical aspects). At the core, *Ethereum must be impressive*. We are living in an age of highly intelligent AI and all kinds of other technological acceleration. "Status quo EVM, with a hard fork or two a year to optimize for short-term needs of users" is not interesting. To some, "impressive" means: 250ms latency and 1M TPS. I think Ethereum trying to go that route is a mistake. Being as fast and as scalable as possible, and only a small epsilon more decentralized than the others, is a route to mediocrity, and if we try it we will lose. I think Ethereum should scale. But I think Ethereum should strive the hardest to be deeply impressive in a different dimension: the CROPS dimension. This means things like: * Provably bug-free Ethereum. This is a goal that all cybersecurity researchers would have thought is absurd and impossible, up until roughly 6 months ago. Now, it's on the cusp of being possible, thanks to AI-assisted formal verification. So we should be frontrunners in doing this. * Available chain consensus. Ethereum is, and with lean consensus will cotninue to be, the ONLY chain that has both (i) traditional-BFT style properties that it's safe under asynchrony up to a high level of fault tolerance, and (ii) the bitcoin PoW-style property that under synchrony it's safe up to 49% attackers. As far as I can tell, literally no other chain has this or is planning for it; bitcoin goes for (ii) only and most other chains go for (i) only. Some will remember I fought hard for this, Unreasonably insisting that it is not OK for ethereum to rely on social consensus and hard forks to rescue ethereum from 34% of nodes going offline. It's OK for chains like hyperledger, bnb, solana, tempo, etc. It's not OK for bitcoin or ethereum or eg. zcash. * Intermediary minimization. The fact that smart contract wallets, protocols like railgun, etc have to send transactions through intermediaries to get included onchain is honestly embarrassing, and it's a constant point of fragility. Hence the work on FOCIL and EIP-8141 (and 7701 and years of work before) to make transaction sending intermediary-minimized with public mempool and strong inclusion properties, in a truly general-purpose way, that covers not just eg. secp256r1, but also privacy protocols and much more. Kohaku is pushing intermediary minimization at the user layer, pulling Ethereum away from the dystopian status quo world where our wallets don't even verify the chain, send our private data out to a dozen third-party servers, and toward a brighter CROPS future. Some of these goals are Unreasonable - maybe Ethereum would be "fine" getting only 50% of the way - what if we depend on intermediaries, but make it easy to switch? But going 50% of the way would not make Ethereum Deeply Impressive in the CROPS way. So we push for 100%. Fortunately all these goals are compatible with high TPS, this is a major focus of research (esp. on scaling the state). Well-designed L2s can also help, especially L2s optimized for specific applications (eg. high-volume trading, privacy...). These goals are even compatible with significantly lower slot times, thanks to Raul's work on erasure-coded P2P, and many other optimizations. The most high-value "product" of the ethereum blockchain, financially speaking, is ETH the asset. Ethereum secures $250 billion of ETH. The types of properties of Ethereum that I mentioned above are very good for ETH the asset. Nearly 90% of my net worth is in ETH, and most of the remainder is ~$40m of onchain fiat of which every dollar has already been allocated for some open-source biotech or software or hardware initiative. That said, there are aspects of supporting ETH the asset - *necessary* aspects even - that are outside the scope of the EF. This is where we need other heroes (some of whom hold more ETH than the EF does) to step in and help. EF has been recently thinking more about how it will relate to other such organizations, and give them needed initial support. EF will be a smaller ship than in previous years, a more opinionated one - in some cases more opinionated in ways that might be difficult to comprehend - but a longer-lasting one, and one suited to making sure that ethereum brings something meaningful to the world. We are grateful to all those inside and outside the EF who are helping to make this happen.

@VitalikButerin @leolanza @ethereumfndn @aerugoettinea You often revert back to the same shit man this is why I said you’re a cucc I don’t really think you’re a cucc but you do egregious shit man — I’ll never fault you for selligg bc some your eth hell but you talk out both sides your mouth!

@TXMotorSpeedway @CBellRacing Looking for insight from ppl who have been first to do something… hmu im from thugtown but no I don’t hate ppl from the city ;)

I’ve been in the dev discord since December & still haven’t been able to get access — not only would I be willing to do what I always do (reciprocate) but I would be willing to try & build clob connectors for community I’m in + give honest quant’s take on rise vs their only true competitor.

As it's been a popular topic of discussion, allow us to weigh in. Both RFQ and onchain CLOB have their place in the ecosystem. RFQ excels at retail distribution, but CLOB wins on true composability. When everything lives onchain, smart contracts can read depth, build vaults, enable atomic strategies, and create real DeFi innovation. That’s why we’re building a fully onchain orderbook.
