Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

Action. Wonder. Adventure. Artemis II has got it all. Don't miss the moment. Our crewed Moon mission will launch as early as April 1. Learn how to watch: nasa.gov/ways-to-watch/

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

The price of pho has gotten out of hand. This is a poor man's food made from from scraps, why are you charging $22?

90% of people will miss this tonight because they’re looking at their phones. DON’T BE ONE OF THEM. ☄️ The planets are literally aligning for us on this February 28th. A rare 6-planet alignment is happening right now, and it’s the perfect time to set an intention, make a wish, or just sit back and marvel at how tiny we really are. The universe is putting on a free show—don’t forget to look up. 🔭

This is the cyberpunk I asked for.

Sentiments of Venezuelans I’m going to say this once, and I don’t care if it makes people uncomfortable. If you have never lived in Venezuela If you did not grow up there If you did not watch your country collapse in real time If you did not stand in food lines If you did not watch your parents lose everything they built If you did not have to leave your home with nothing Then shut the fuck up. You do not have an opinion. Your opinion does not matter. And you don’t get to lecture anyone about what’s happening there. I’m Venezuelan. I lived there most of my life until my early twenties. I watched my country go from a functioning democracy to full blown socialism right in front of my eyes. This is not politics to me. This is trauma. Before socialism, Venezuela was not perfect, but it worked. There was trade. There was money coming in. There was investment from the US. There were jobs. There was food. There was medicine. My family had five businesses. We had our home We had investments. We had a future. Then the government started nationalizing everything. Private companies were taken. Foreign investors were pushed out. Imports were blocked. Price controls destroyed production. Corruption exploded. And everything died. Not slowly. Violently. People didn’t suddenly become poor because of “capitalism” or “the US” or whatever bullshit slogan people like to repeat online. They became poor because socialism destroyed incentives, destroyed production, destroyed trust, and destroyed hope. People today in Venezuela are not debating ideology. They are trying to survive. They are trying to find food. Trying to find medication. Trying to keep their families alive. So when I see people in the West posting from comfortable homes, full fridges, stable currencies, and safe streets talking about “imperialism” or “US bad” or “Trump this or that” No. It’s not complicated. You’re just ignorant. China is not rebuilding Venezuela. Russia is not rebuilding Venezuela. Cartels are not rebuilding Venezuela. They are stealing. They are extracting. They are draining what’s left. If the US comes in and reinvests If refineries get rebuilt If infrastructure gets restored If imports open back up If food, water, and medicine become accessible again If people can work and earn with dignity Then yes. Let them take all the oil they want. Because at least something gets built instead of destroyed. This is something to celebrate. Not because it’s perfect. But because for the first time in a long time, there is hope. Hope that families can eat. Hope that people don’t have to flee their country. Hope that Venezuela can function again. If you’ve never lived through a country collapsing If you’ve never watched socialism destroy everything around you If you’ve never had to leave your home because staying meant starvation Then again Shut the fuck up. This isn’t theory. This isn’t politics. This is lived experience. By Stephen Subero

“Ethereum was not created to make finance efficient or apps convenient. It was created to set people free” This was an important - and controversial - line from the Trustless Manifesto ( trustlessness.eth.limo ), and it is worth revisiting it and better understanding what it means. “efficient” and “convenient” have the connotation of improving the average case, in situations where it’s already pretty good. Efficiency is about telling the world's best engineers to put their souls into reducing latency from 473 ms to 368ms, or increasing yields from 4.5% APY to 5.3% APY. Convenience is about people making one click instead of three, and reducing signup times from 1 min to 20 sec. These things can be good to do. But we must do them under the understanding that we will never be as good at this game as the Silicon Valley corporate players. And so the primary underlying game that Ethereum plays must be a different game. What is the game? Resilience. Resilience is the game where it’s not about 4.5% APY vs 5.3% APY - rather, it’s about minimizing the chance that you get -100% APY. Resilience is the game where if you become politically unpopular and get deplatformed, or if a the developers of your application go bankrupt or disappear, or if Cloudflare goes down, or if an internet cyberwar breaks out, your 2000ms latency continues to be 2000ms. Resilience is the game where anyone, anywhere in the world will be able to access the network and be a first-class participant. Resilience is sovereignty. Not sovereignty in the sense of lobbying to become a UN member state and shaking hands at Davos in two weeks, but sovereignty in the sense that people talk about "digital sovereignty" or "food sovereignty" - aggressively reducing your vulnerabilities to external dependencies that can be taken away from you on a whim. This is the sense in which the world computer can be sovereign, and in doing so make its users also sovereign. This baseline is what enables interdependence as equals, and not as vassals of corporate overlords thousands of kilometers away. This is the game that Ethereum is suited to win, and it delivers a type of value that, in our increasingly unstable world, a lot of people are going to need. The fundamental DNA of web2 consumer tech is not suited to resilience. The fundamental DNA of _finance_ often spends considerable effort on resilience, but it is a very partial form of resilience, good at solving for some types of risks but not others. Blockspace is abundant. Decentralized, permissionless and resilient blockspace is not. Ethereum must first and foremost be decentralized, permissionless and resilient block space - and then make that abundant.

Maduro leaves behind a remarkable track record. He oversaw the most efficient destruction of a modern nation-state in history. Under his watch: • GDP shrank by 80%, a peacetime collapse 3x more severe than the US Great Depression. • Cumulative inflation hit 150 trillion percent. • 7.7 million people fled, a displacement of 26% of Venezuela's population. Beyond economic ruin, Maduro transformed Venezuela into a global logistics hub for cartels. He is accused of repurposing military airbases and radar systems to provide safe corridors for ~275 metric tons of cocaine annually. The UN also links him to over 19,000 extrajudicial killings used to suppress dissent. While the country starved and $300B was siphoned from the treasury, Maduro and his immediate family are believed to have secured a private fortune between $1B and $2.5B. Furthermore, independent audits show that in the 2024 election he fabricated or suppressed 4.7 million votes to flip a landslide 67% defeat into a fraudulent 51% victory. Maduro was an illegitimate president who oversaw a criminal enterprise and directed the economic implosion of one of the wealthiest countries on earth, pushing millions of Venezuelans abroad. The world should be celebrating his removal, rather than defending the "sovereignty" of a tyrant. To the people of Venezuela: congratulations. May this finally be the start of your recovery. I hope to visit Venezuela soon, it's been too long!

The more time passes, the more I believe crypto natives have completely lost the plot on ETH and that’s it’s becoming impossible to replicate the product that Ethereum has built. At this point, no other ecosystem is even attempting to create a WWIII-resistant, globally shared settlement system. And as we’ve come to understand, you can’t realistically do so anymore. The unopinionated, general-purpose GTM strategy that made Ethereum possible is now dead on arrival in today’s highly competitive and heavily financialized environment. Like Bitcoin, Ethereum emerged from a unique set of social, economic, and technological conditions that no longer exist — it is now nearly impossible for new entrants to build anything that competes with Ethereum in terms of legitimacy. I used to wonder how much any of this would matter to institutions. It still might be too early to call, and we’re already seeing attempts from Stripe and various Wall Street consortiums to roll up their own settlement infrastructure. Still, both the data and the anecdotal evidence indicate that institutions are choosing Ethereum more than anything else, for its reliability, neutrality, and ability to minimize long-term counterparty risk. In this sense it’s not unlike why institutions choose Bitcoin. Bitcoin provides the same guarantees to everyone regardless if they’re a billionaire in New York, dissident in North Korea, or the Central Bank of China. And the thing is, it’s not just that Ethereum has a special origin story or that it has unique properties. Its network effects are compounding in ways that may ultimately be insurmountable. The more assets that get tokenized, the more integrations that default to Ethereum as the safest settlement layer, the more high-performance rollups like Base and Lighter that choose to anchor to Ethereum’s security hub, the more nodes that get spun up, and the more developers that onboard into the EVM — the more I believe Vitalik was right about the rollup-centric roadmap, and the more obvious it becomes that Ethereum’s moat is widening, not shrinking. The cherry on top is it seems like the Ethereum Foundation, and community by extension, has finally got its shit together for the first time in a while. For the past two years I thought Ethereum was struggling, but that the “game” was still its to lose. There’s still a long road ahead and success is not guaranteed. But I now think they’re righting the ship, and the outlook is the most promising it’s been in a long time.
