MistCoin | Origin of ERC-20

Panel on Standards: moderated by @simondlr with @VitalikButerin @gavofyork @feindura @ChrisLundkvist and @nmushegian

I want to make it clear that Larry Fink’s numerous videos about tokenization aren’t marketing videos. He’s literally telling you what’s going to happen. The discussions we had at @consensus2026 with countless financial institutions only reinforce this: everyone is genuinely excited about the topic and is already making progress toward this new world.

i don't know david, and it doesn't bother me that he sold his @cryptopunks recently. but if i were to make a case for why someone should consider owning a punk, it would go like this: throughout history, there have been artifacts that symbolize the beginning of a new movement. and if you believe that new technologies unlock human potential and creativity, then cryptopunks are the clearest symbol of that belief within the world of cryptoassets the ethereum whitepaper outlined many of the core innovations crypto has established. prediction markets, decentralized finance, and the rest. all of the big winners in that category today are part of the ethereum industrial complex and in many ways blessed as "approved" use cases by the powers that be. cryptopunks, and the broader nft movement, were never part of the official plan. not in the whitepaper like prediction markets, defi and the rest. in many cases, ignored or shunned by the existing leaders within the ecosystem. given the amount of institutional capital that had to be poured into the canonical use cases to make them viable it is interesting that the digital collectible scene... didn't. it was a grassroots movement, built on top of a basic human psychological need to collect artifacts that have meaning. and you should never underestimate that. the shelf life of cultural assets is very long. and cryptopunks are growing more lindy by the day.

@DeanEigenmann @ricburton @izqui9 @avsa Guys I just gave you all Mist. Which is in german:

@izqui9 @DeanEigenmann @ricburton @feindura Has no developers, doesn't match the standards correctly, has been forgotten under the mattress for 2 years.. Target: $1Billion Market cap.

So we have it, the first MistCoin transaction in 2026! 2015 ✅2016✅2017✅2018✅2019✅2020✅2021✅2022✅2023✅2024✅2025✅2026✅ etherscan.io/tx/0x72ca73239… The only token on Ethereum transacted every year since 2015. Once again, @0xzxch was the fastest one!
