@laurashin It could just be about separating the state from the money

I think Ethereum’s original sin was not considering tokenomics with every move it made from Dencun on. The ultrasound money thesis was a good one and with Dencun (or the L2 roadmap generally) they should have stopped to say that this was going to hurt the ultrasound money thesis and consider how to preserve it. Most people, like David, don’t want to believe in something that isn’t also putting up points on the scoreboard. When the main offering becomes ideology/communism and money/tokenomics/capitalism are overlooked, the peasants are going to revolt — as they’ve been doing for two years now. Look at the public reaction to Tomasz: broad praise, a sense of hope, excitement, the price pumping … only for him to be gone a year later with the new ED being someone who cannot even be found online except for a Wayback Machine url with his name that has some really questionable statements on it (and I should say the EF denied that this website, which was taken down a few weeks after he was appointed to the board, is his). They’re going to be really mad at me for even mentioning that but in the place of a void, these are the kinds of things people will glom onto. Then there was the manifesto — I mean, mandate, which they backtracked on forcing people to sign. (Btw, this is the second bit of news that seems to relate to Bastian. And now the third would be all these departures. There’s nothing else for us to point at and say about him — when I searched for his name on Google News just now only 14 links came up. He seems to be some kind of invisible hand behind the scenes.) I don’t think ideology and capitalism/tokenomics/number go up are mutually exclusive. I think you can have CROPS values and also consider how each step of the roadmap affects the tokenomics and even have teams for BD/ecosystem growth. It feels like the EF doesn’t realize the moment that crypto is in. The competition is only just starting. We are in the phase of real world adoption. The Ethereum Foundation’s CROPS principles are great ones, and they are worth fighting for. But the EF seems to want to sit back on its laurels and act above it all when all its competitors are all getting down and dirty on the field to gain market share. Maybe it is the right approach. I don’t know. I’m just saying that more competitive people won’t align with it. And so they will leave … and community members will as well. I personally don’t think it’s good for Ethereum if its most competitive people depart. Ethereum’s unwillingness to stop the brain drain will only benefit its competitors — or spawn new ones. Giving a shit about price and tokenomics and BD doesn’t hurt CROPS. It just helps ensure that these principles get spread to more people and that other chains that don’t have these principles don’t get a leg up. All the commentary may be pointless. It seems Vitalik tried what everyone wanted and it didn’t align with his vision, so he brought in a new person he felt more comfortable with. It makes me sad to see people become so disaffected with Ethereum, but maybe this is V’s Brian Armstrong/no politics at Coinbase moment where he lays down what the EF will work on and asks everyone else to leave. That was the right move for Coinbase, but I view them as fundamentally different issues. We’ll see whether Ethereum maintains its lead with a foundation that isn’t willing to fight for it.

@Kicksbuttson One reason the nazi party rose to power was because it promised to get rid of trannys who had grown in numbers in Berlin

If you're shocked by the existence of Trans Nazi shooters, you haven't been paying attention. The Buffalo grocery shooter in 2023 espoused white nationalist views, wore the black sun, and targeted black people. But he admitted he was a Leftist authoritarian, and he had to go further right to get to that. He also had non-white friends. You may have been fooled by generations of public school curriculum, but the Nazis are not an example of the Right going too extreme. The Nazis were socialists. Actual Nazis know this too.

@LawrenceLepard @RepThomasMassie start the 1913 party - run on ending fed and federal income tax

It’s amazing that~ 10,000 votes in one district in Kentucky, with a population of 776,000 people dispatched the most honest man in Congress. It looks like 109,000 registered Republicans voted. Roughly 14% of House District 4. Galactically stupid. Incredible really. 🤦‍♂️ @RepThomasMassie

@dgt10011 Prediction companies = cia

At the core, anyone who dismisses prediction markets means they don’t believe in “wisdom of the crowd” Be wary of these people, who are also often self-proclaimed “experts”

@CanciAbo @CBSNews LA should elect a homeless person as mayor

@CBSNews His own sister literally stated that “a vote for him is a vote for stupidity. Again: his own sister…🤦‍♀️

@LouisvilleGun You know U.S.A. armed the mujahadeen in Afghanistan who became al qaeda

Special Forces Warrant Officer Joe Kent arguing that a core mission of Special Forces, Unconventional Warfare, is useless & a waste of time, because arming rebel groups doesn't ever work. Hell of a take.

@BlueCollarSkolr @realstewpeters Tim pool is a neocon, so he is a liberal

@realstewpeters If you disagree with him, go on his show and debate him why is it that liberals will not go where they do not control the mic

TIM POOL: Jews are JUST NOW starting to buy media companies, because anti-Zionist podcasters are getting too much traction. “You’re allowed to criticize any government you want. It’s the conspiracy insanity that drives me insane.”

@jsimons_says @KTLA Stealing

@KTLA Can anyone explain to me why we are so dogshit at all things public transportation while other nations are decades ahead of us??

In a 60 Minutes report, officials said they now believe the rail line linking L.A. and San Francisco could ultimately cost about $126 billion, more than triple the original price tag approved by voters. ktla.com/news/californi…

@StillonthatWall @Matt_Bracken48 No one will end Persian civilization

@Matt_Bracken48 they're going to end the theocracy, with pre-selected somebody.

I have a different idea about why Trump reversed course (again) and unilaterally called a cease-fire, before his apocalyptic 48-hour deadline expired. Most ascribe this change to market manipulation, and that's probably part of his reasoning, but I think there is something much larger at play. Susie Wiles, an ardent Christian Zionist, is still serving as Trump's gatekeeper. Joe Kent was excluded from the decision-making process that led to our joint Israeli-American sneak attack assassination bombing raids on 28 Feb. He would have counseled Trump not to make this catastrophic move. I'm pretty sure Tulsi Gabbard has also been locked out by Wiles. Meanwhile, neocon war hawks like Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz, and, of course, Bibi Netanyahu, have unlimited access to POTUS Trump. Ted Cruz said he spent all day of 27 Feb with Trump, advising him to go to war against Iran, using the negotiations as a ploy. Trump has even laughingly referred to Pearl Harbor, bragging about the surprise attack. But even Susie Wiles can't keep the V.P. and the Secretary of State from seeing Trump in person. I believe his insane 48-hour deadline, to essentially see the entire Middle East gas, oil, petrochemical, electrical generation and water desalinization infrastructure destroyed in the war escalation, has caused Vance and/or Rubio to step in forcefully. Vance, as a former Marine, must be horrified by Graham's excited call for another Iwo Jima, (26,000 casualties, 7,000 KIA). Rubio must be taking angry calls from world leaders, warning against the catastrophe which will unfold if the Middle East is wrecked. Infrastructure that took 50 years and a trillion dollars to build cannot be rebuilt before the global economy is destroyed and mass starvation ensues. If this infrastructure is wrecked, millions will die of immediate dehydration. And it won't matter if the Strait of Hormuz is reopened, as there will be nothing to ship out. And America will be blamed, with Israel, for starting the war that triggered this unprecedented human calamity. I believe that Vance or Rubio, or both, have pushed past Susie Wiles to tell Trump to call off his insane 48-hour countdown to Armageddon, or they will resign, and tell the world why. A resignation by Vance or Rubio would make the Joe Kent resignation seem like a tiny hiccup. That's why I believe Trump invented his bogus "Iranian negotiations" story, to call off his 48-hour countdown.

@GordonGekko Fraud coins are doomed

Altcoin MCap just touched its 9-year support trendline. Do you understand what this means?

@DesireeAmerica4 Not a traffic troll - a criminal

One of those “this can’t be real” moments. Some guy perched himself smack on the hood of a car, refusing to budge, trapping the poor driver at an intersection. Before anyone even had time to dial the police, some random SUV driver had *had enough.* This guy storms out, grabs the hood-sitter, and hurls him onto the pavement like a wrestler clearing the ring. So, here’s the question: if someone’s acting like a traffic troll, do bystanders get a pass for going full vigilante to solve the problem, or did that guy just leap wayyyy over the line?

@CommunityBnkInv @mb_ghalibaf Are you looking forward to your taxes paying for the operation of the Iranian govt like they are used for Ukraine, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Somalia etc

@mb_ghalibaf Trump is giving you a last chance before total destruction of your regime and country Troops are ready, bombs keeps flying, spy planes in the air, intelligence assets on the ground US has 5,000 nuclear weapons Retaliate and see what happens

1/ Iranian people demand complete and remorseful punishment of the aggressors. All Irainan officials stand firmly behind their supreme leader and people until this goal is achieved.

@Midnight_JJ0 @bronze_age_zee @Villgecrazylady Lew Wasserman was Reagan’s handler

@bronze_age_zee @Villgecrazylady Nonsense. Reagan was the first president to outright GIVE aid to Israel, he started the “security agreements” with Israel, and the Second Intifada started while he was president. He also bombed Lebanon for Israel. After ‘82 Israel certainly did own the administration

Remember that time they told us that for 8 years Nancy Reagan was running every single detail of the Reagan presidency through a “San Francisco psychic” and allowing said psychic to dictate travel schedules and diplomatic meetings and every single person in our entire national security system was either totally unaware or perfectly fine with this?
