@or997 @maxcampagna @PeterMcCormack Socialism and corruption made Venezuela poor

@maxcampagna @PeterMcCormack Max - you do realise US-led sanctions made your country poor. The same folks that you cheering on are about to loot your country again - this time you’ll be cheering as they do it - congratulations

Apparently not applauding a forced regime change is doing a “lefty thing.” Thanks pod cast man…it’s ok because “I have been to Venezuela” 👍🏽

@binji_x It's hard to advise without knowing your current fitness level. If you're starting out, I would suggest doing the Strong Lifts program and getting 1g per lb of body weight.

i want to get as fit as possible in 2026, what detailed advice do you have (exercises, lifestyle, diet)?

I support EIL. At its core, EIL is fundamentally _Cypherpunk_ because it restores user sovereignty at the interoperability layer. Users sign once & transact directly from their own wallets, _never_ delegate execution, custody, or intent to any intermediaries. It rejects _trusted_ relayers (guys, we need to cut out the centralised deps bloat that keeps getting reintroduced as "infra" every time UX is used as an excuse), opaque solvers & surveillance-heavy infra because trustlessness fucking matters. The execution is local, verifiable & enforced by Ethereum itself. EIL embodies the Cypherpunk ethos: minimise trust, maximise autonomy, and build infra that cannot be captured or censored. Make Ethereum Cypherpunk again!

At DevConnect Buenos Aires, the details of EIL @ethinteroplayer - Ethereum Interoperability Layer were unveiled. We’ve been deep-diving interop protocols for months and our initial assessment of EIL contracts (deployed on testnets already) is following 🧵👇

Stablecoins are now law in the US. We need to use this opportunity to build more distributed and resilient systems, rather than double down on entirely centralized constructions Excited to welcome @aplus to the game 🔥

I am thrilled to be part of a project I wholeheartedly believe in.

@laurashin @pumpdotfun This tweet isn't hyping or promoting the token 🤨

Announcement: Unchained Is Now on PumpFun At Unchained, we are expanding our distribution: we’ll now be live streaming episodes on @pumpdotfun Yes, this means a memecoin now exists for our brand. To be clear: ❌ We do NOT have plans to sell, hype, or promote the token. ✅ If people choose to trade it, Unchained will receive the standard creator fee set by Pump (about 1%). We see this as an experiment in supporting crypto-native distribution models. Just as we’ve done with Zora, Pods, Fountain, Drakula, and more, we’re testing new ways to reach audiences where they are. Crypto media is evolving. For independent journalism like ours to thrive, we need to explore fresh approaches. Pump is potentially one step on that path. We’re excited to see where this takes us. That said, come join us, we are live RIGHT NOW! pump.fun/coin/GgzH3GfJa…

@whosknave @smyyguy Thanks for your concern

@smyyguy rest in peace ethereum. you had a good run

@snapcrackle @0xWenMoon @0xWenMoon nailed the design problem. We need long-term incubators not short-term cohort based VC funnels.

Some really valid points by @0xWenMoon I think this was true of blockchain accelerators in the past when picking teams based on credentials first, not much of an idea, and then hoping something sticks. But now things are changing. There is starting to be real product market fit and I think the 24 months will produce a lot more success stories. Y Combinator looks at both the idea and the team. web3 accelerators need to adapt

I've had some conversations with the Etherealize team, they have a really important mission and you are an applied ZK engineer I can assure you that the work you'd do with them is some of the most important work to be done in the space!

The stars are aligning for ETH: ⏩ $1.25bn ETF inflows over 19 straight days ⏩ Adoption as a treasury asset ⏩ Price turnaround (+100% from lows) Institutions are noticing. We’ve come together to tell the world why. Introducing ETH: Digital Oil for the Digital Economy (1/7)

@VivekVentures @jon_charb Ufff ratio

@jon_charb Ah shoot good call convinced me. Future of TradFi tokenized assets are on BTC, not ETH. I guess that means we have to value BTC on REV too…

If/when BTC flips ETH on Base, is Base an Ethereum L2 or a Bitcoin L2?

@jon_charb Is Solana a pumpfun L2?

@dcbuilder @nicksvyaznoy I just left Prague 🥲

@nicksvyaznoy @Drigolvc Thanks Mykola for the connection

Man the pace of progress has never been better, how can you be a doomer. Great stuff

Anyone know a good way to surface the top daily tweets (by engagement) from a list of 300 accounts I follow? Looking for something smarter than just scrolling

everyone keeps talking about replacing hackathons with accelerators to drive more adoption in web3. but i think both are broken. i’ve been seeing this take more and more on x and telegram lately. people suggesting hackathon budgets should go into accelerator-type programs instead. i’ve been thinking the same since last year at ethcc, but the real issue goes deeper than just switching formats and shifting budgets. quick recap where this is coming from. last year, many new l2s attempted to compete with larger players like base & polygon by taking the accelerator route. unable to match the top-funnel reach, they instead focused on supporting a few promising teams to raise funds and develop use cases directly on their chain. at the time, it made sense. these programs were straightforward. find founders with strong decks, help them raise millions, and get products out that could drive on-chain volume. but now, even that model feels outdated. just backing founders and hoping something sticks isn’t working anymore. we need to go deeper and ask what use-cases are actually worth building. especially after five years of noise, hype, and underdelivering projects. i remember when crypto had actual industry-level blockchain use-cases in mind. a lot turned out to be features, not real value props, but the ideas were: - supply chain: food traceability, anti-counterfeit - digital identity: verifiable credentials, academic certificates - iot: decentralized networks, industrial security - social and content: decentralized social media, music platforms - payments and finance: cross-border remittance, stablecoins in high-inflation economies, trade finance, ad rewards - enterprise and public: humanitarian aid coordination, public record integrity despite the buzz around blockchain startups with visionary goals, most haven't cracked the product-market fit code. sure, there are standouts like world, which has attracted millions and stands as a top web3 success story outside the typical chain framework (even though it's now a chain). beyond world and the payments and finance sectors, true triumphs in blockchain use-cases are rare. while high-profile projects like walmart's ibm food trust network, microsoft's nhs healthcare staff ids, and mit's blockchain diplomas made headlines, they often feel more like pr exercises than genuine success stories sparking widespread industry adoption. since ai lead the new investment bubble we haven't seen any enterprise business focusing on these use-cases outside of finance anymore. so why bring this up? because this is why i originally got into crypto. it wasn’t just about digital currency. it was about web3. an internet people own. apps on blockchains. something more. but that vision hasn’t materialized. and when i look at how ai is getting massive traction by simply turning existing saas into ai-powered tools that actually make money, i have to question where web3 really stands. so what now? back to my main point. we need to rethink how we grow. and by "we" i mean every chain. they have the resources to shape the direction of the entire space. hackathons aren't working. accelerators aren't enough either. we need a better plan. instead of every devrel, ecosystem lead, and growth team chasing the next hyped strategy to funnel money in, here’s what should happen: 1. figure out what use-cases you should build. the chain is just infra. now build actual products on top. don’t just hope others do it. 2. do your research. look at markets, past failures, opportunities. think like a VC & founders. then prioritize. 3. pick the most obvious, high-impact use-cases. for example, cross-border remittance and stablecoins in inflation-heavy economies. act like a venture studio, not an accelerator. the studio does the research and finds founders to execute. learn from openai. ai has been a part of technological evolution for years. major players like google possessed the capabilities to create something akin to chatgpt, yet it was openai that took the decisive step to launch a groundbreaking product. this singular move reshaped the landscape. blockchain projects must emulate this approach: develop tangible products, clearly demonstrate their value, and generate revenue. by doing so, they can catalyze growth and innovation within their ecosystems. it’s not just about having the technology; it’s about translating it into real-world applications that achieve product market fit. the infrastructure is there. the capital is there. the talent is there. what’s missing is ownership of execution. chains need to stop outsourcing the vision. if you believe in the future of web3, build it. don’t just fund it and hope something sticks. look at smaller protocols to see why this strategy works. they don't have massive budgets like big chains. running lean, they quickly learned that standard top-funnel tactics don't create sustainable impact. when funds dwindle, founders get creative, maximizing impact with minimal resources. this is where the venture studio concept emerged and accelerators took shape. underfunded protocols often pioneer strategies out of necessity. chains need to adopt this mindset, move past comfort zones, and focus on building and executing real products. in 10 years in crypto, smaller teams have consistently led with top marketing and growth strategies, optimizing spend brilliantly. for inspiration, look at them. they always lead the next iteration of strategies before the big players with money see and adopt them. we can’t afford another cycle of hype with no follow-through. if we want to see web3 succeed, chains need to lead by example and ship real products that solve real problems. that’s how we move from potential to impact.

@nicksvyaznoy @cryptochica_arg @Etherealize_io @ethereum @ipecity but really @Drigolvc tbh

Who’s building the @Etherealize_io for Latin America? @ethereum has good opportunities in Brazil 🇧🇷, but it needs to move fast! - FloripaDEZ (Digital Economic Zone) was launched last week at @ipecity in Florianópolis as a Special Processing Zone (ZPE) to attract global investors in tech and innovation. - Brazil's regulated #tokenization market grew 300% in 2024, reaching R$1.3B (~USD 250M). @ABCriptoOficial just released a report on it. - The CVM, Brazil’s securities regulator, is preparing two public consultations this year on new rules for tokenizing securities. (@BrazilCrypto_ ) - Brazil’s regulatory process for crypto licensing is reaching a decisive moment. Final rules from the Central Bank are expected in H2 2025. Companies not currently operating in Brazil may face 2–3 years or more delays in getting licensed (@BrazilCrypto_ )
