Did you know? 🤯 Ethereum almost had a completely different name. Vitalik Buterin originally considered names like Gestalt, Clarity - even Cogito (yes, from a sci-fi name generator). The final name was nearly put to a community vote. We came this close to trading ETH for something deeply forgettable. The second-biggest blockchain in the world almost sounded like a productivity app. What would you have named it?

We’ve spent years making investing accessible. Now, together with @vsntoken, we’re building the infrastructure to bring European institutions onchain. Built on the @Optimism OP stack, Vision Chain combines the security and openness of Ethereum with a framework designed for the European regulatory landscape. Europe’s onchain economy starts here.

The Name Change (Amazon) The Fact: Jeff Bezos originally wanted to call @amazon "Cadabra" (as in Abracadabra), but his lawyer pointed out that it sounded too much like "Cadaver" (a dead body) over the phone. Takeaway: Branding matters, even the world's most successful companies were just one bad decision away from a very different fate. The Question: Do you think a company's name actually affects its stock price, or is it all about the numbers?

Week 5. Same leader. 👀 GrenBaud stays on top.

The Digital Graveyard Roughly 20% of all Bitcoin is estimated to be lost forever due to forgotten passwords or discarded hard drives. That’s billions of dollars literally "buried" in the digital sand. Takeaway: Being your own bank means total control -but remember, the blockchain doesn't have a "forgot password" button. The Question: How do you store your recovery seed: Steel plate, hidden notebook, or just "vibes and prayers"?

The Power of Time (Coca-Cola) The Fact: @CocaCola (KO) has been public since 1919. If you had bought just one share for $40 back then and reinvested every single dividend, your investment would be worth over $10 million today. Takeaway: Compound interest really is the "eighth wonder of the world," provided you give it enough time to grow. The Question: What product do you buy so often that you probably should own the company's stock?

Stocks ABC: E is for ETF An Exchange-Traded Fund is like a basket of many different stocks instead of just one single fruit. It spreads your risk automatically. The Question: Are you a "100% ETF" investor, or do you love the thrill of picking single stocks? 🤔
