Agreed, I'd also argue that the conclusions from "talent moving to AI" are backwards. There are only like 30 guys working on the frontier models. AI is a general-purpose and hence most of the work in AI is applying the general-purpose technology to other industries. Having a huge cohort of people from an industry developing skills in AI integration is extremely bullish. AI is like a rocket launcher; the question is, where are you going to aim it?

AI might be the most bullish thing to ever happen to crypto. Almost nobody is pricing it in. The logic is simple. AI agents are about to start transacting on their own, paying for compute, data and services, at machine speed and around the clock. They can't open a bank account. They can't wait three days for a wire. They need money that's programmable, always on, and asks no one's permission. That's not a wish list. It's a description of crypto. The rails are being built right now. Watch that, not the daily candle.

@scupytrooples we chillen, wbu?

fans of DeFi, where you at?

@binji_x i like ethereum lets go!

making a groupchat for people who like ethereum lmk

@614D05 @ProffEtherPrint In mathematics, we trust!

@Dyslexic_Cyborg @ProffEtherPrint Programmable freedom!

Believe it or not, some of us are (unironicly) in it for the cypherpunk values. To create a better economic frameworks that allows for frictionless entropy, between sovran individuals and communities.

@ProffEtherPrint Holding ETH secures the sanctuary. Making it a noble deed, in and of itself. Ethereum was not built to make us rich. It was built to set us free.

@Dyslexic_Cyborg I'm in it for this reason too I can't justify buying any centralised coins like sol or hype or whatever else My heart only let's me buy eth

@drjasper_eth @austincampbell @hosseeb I know a guy who'll want to host this one x.com/BrantlyMillega…

So @austincampbell says Ethereum is MySpace, and @hosseeb says Ethereum is Microsoft... I think a debate is in order!

I have a feeling there are thousands sovereign cyber soldiers who would leap at the honorable opportunity to fight for the freedom of human kind. @BrantlyMillegan you should round up the troops.

@0xjoe_ Believe it or not, some of us are (unironicly) in it for the cypherpunk values. To create a better economic frameworks that allows for frictionless entropy, between sovran individuals and communities.

Brother we are all in crypto to get rich. Tf you talking about 😂 This post alone makes me want to dump the last of my $ETH No movement for the last 5 years and bro is trying to justify it

@DeFi_Dad @hanni_abu @edge_pod @tori_finance @LotusFi_ @AlchemixFi @saturn_credit Yeah, I gotta vouch for DeFi dad. Always learning new things about the project and getting a deep dive.

This is exactly our aim with The @Edge_Pod but we’re not new :) Recent episodes, all of which guests are startups built on Ethereum: @tori_finance - tokenized fx carry trade @LotusFi_ - new lending / borrowing design @AlchemixFi V3 @saturn_credit - tokenized STRC on Eth @sparkdotfi - overview of their business and revenue onchain If this is the desire, I’ve been fully focused with @Nomaticcap on this and remain so! open.spotify.com/show/5zvRhk27k…

Who's starting an Ethereum-centric podcast to highlight new startups and give them some spotlight? Not established ones everyone has already heard of, new ones pulled from the shadows Talk about the app/business, where it's at, what the plans are, maybe even screenshare, show the interface, and take it for a test drive etc We need something that helps support new builders

@afelipexyz One neo bank per person plz

At what point do we admit we have enough neobanks?

@RyanSAdams Sad to see you let go of the helm. Thanks for all you have done. Pretty sure the direction will be chaos with only David at the helm. Feels like a good-bye. 😿

Time to say something out loud. The first era of Bankless has concluded. A six year collaboration between David and myself exploring crypto, defi, and maximizing Ethereum. We're in the second era now. In this second era I'm planning to take more of a backseat role supporting @TrustlessState as he explores new frontiers in crypto and beyond. I'll still be the pod every week (would never miss a rollup) but less in the role of content direction and guest interviews. David has the helm. He has my full support. For my part, I'm still bullish ETH. And bullish Bankless.

@udiWertheimer This feels like a dream. David sells all his ETH in the depth of the bear. Udi is saying nice things about Bankless.

dunking on bankless is always fun but the truth is that these two were pretty much the only ones hyping crypto up during the despair of the 2018-2020 winter. not sure anyone would’ve stuck around if not for their energy CT could use another power couple like that right now

@preston_vanloon @0xzak I heard there is a hole in the market for one of those. Very important things to remember. ETH was not made to make you rich, ETH was made to set you free. Gotta keep that in mind or you'll run out of stamina.

@0xzak Want to start an ETH podcast?

I am now bullish ETH

@TrustlessState That's wild. Remember David, ETH was not built to make you rich, ETH was built to set you free. Holding ETH secures the sanctuary. Making it a nobel deed in and of itself.

Has there been a huge vibe shift in CT over the last 2 weeks, or was that just me selling the last of my ETH

It's cool talking to a large (randomish) sample of market participants. I experience this while working in the cryptotax reporting industry. The repetition of going deep into people's trading data, then talking through it with them. Dose wonders did for developing market Intuition.

Three things people get wrong about working at a crypto exchange: 1. You don't know when the bottom is. We have better data than most. We still don't know. 2. Customer behaviour doesn't lead price. It lags it. By the time retail is calling support about an asset, the institutions have been in for weeks. 3. The "smart money" myth is mostly nonsense. Most institutional flows aren't smart. They're just bigger and slower than retail. The thing nobody talks about: working at an exchange is mostly customer service for confused people in volatile markets. It's also the best behavioural finance education on earth.

@bitcoinpanda69 fooo..... u rely r one of the wise wolves living amongst the sheep guiding wholesomely like a shepherd

Once I have collected myself mentally in the morning Once I have combobulated and oriented myself back into the world of the real from the world of dreams My mind becomes like a fortress, impossible to mine for information Which is why I sleep in seperate bedrooms, so all the Russian and Chinese spies (probably) I'm dating can't get anything out of me when I'm a big groggy bear

@drjasper_eth @Rocket_Pool @sparkdotfi Seriously? Rocket pool is clearly the GOAT for LST's. Makes no sense

. @Rocket_Pool rETH is the only LST that took bridge security seriously and we got dropped from @sparkdotfi following Kelps bridge hack

@jake_pahor Is the same boat. I'm starting a new business and for the first time I'm actually considering moving offshore due to the new GST laws.

Last night's budget is the harshest I've seen on risk-takers and capital-builders in years. Labor abolished the 50% CGT discount. Effective 1 July 2027. Biggest CGT reform in 26 years. I'm taking it personally. I've lived in Australia my whole life. Built a career here. Started a business here. Started a family here. Last night was the first time I've seriously thought about what it would take to leave. Here's the policy that did it. From 1 July 2027, the 50% CGT discount is gone for anyone holding crypto, shares, or commercial property in their personal name or family trust. Replaced with CPI indexation plus a 30% minimum tax on real gains. The effective tax rate on long-term capital gains roughly doubled. At the top bracket, from around 23.5% to between 46 and 47%. Think about what that means in practice. Take a risk. Back yourself. Cop years of volatility to build a position in something asymmetric. Labor has decided your reward gets taxed at twice the rate. This is lazy, short-sighted policy. Australians already carry one of the highest tax burdens in the developed world. Cost of living is crushing. Housing is broken. All of it caused by government incompetence and reckless spending. And the response? Tax the people who take risk and build businesses even harder. The capital builders this country actually needs are paying the price for failures they didn't cause. I'm genuinely disappointed in where this is heading. The one structure they spared was super. SMSFs keep their existing CGT treatment, making them the last meaningfully tax-advantaged way to build long-term wealth in Australia. And even there, Div 296 ($3M super balance tax) kicks in from 1 July 2026. They're already chipping away at that too. If you want to know where this leads, look at the UK. They lost an estimated 16,500 millionaires last year. Largest single-year wealth exodus of any country, ever recorded. Around $92 billion USD walked out the door. That doesn't happen overnight. It happens when government after government decides the people building capital aren't worth keeping. We just took a big step down that road. None of this means panic. Existing gains are grandfathered. This isn't a wealth tax. The sky isn't falling. But the message has been sent loud and clear. To anyone with the drive and the means to take a risk and build something: Labor has decided your contribution is a tax target, not the productive engine it actually is. Here's the takeaway. If you build, take risk, and back yourself in this country, the structure decision you make before 1 July 2027 matters more than the next bull market.

@MadMaxEcon @bitcoinpanda69 grow fat balls, then keep taking swings regardless of outcomes It's a winning formula gg.

@bitcoinpanda69 I changed my life completely in the past year and literally all I had to do was grow some fat balls and be optimistic

If you're in depression pivot to happiness
