@gazza_jenks @TheBlockCo @lawmaster @XBT002 @ForesightVen Congratulations @gazza_jenks great move and can't wait to see what you have in store for us, very interesting times for #cryptocurrencies

Today I start the next chapter of my career! I am incredibly excited to join @TheBlockCo as Head of Multimedia.
For the past 14 years, I've worked as a multimedia journalist and broadcaster. I believe in journalistic integrity and ethics. When I spoke to @lawmaster , @XBT002 @Timccopeland earlier this year, I could really feel that was a core part of the DNA of the company.
I also got the feeling that The Block was a place I could continue to learn AND help grow from a multimedia perspective. So I decided to go for it!
And that is the task ahead of me. I believe The Block is one of the bastions of quality journalism in the cryptocurrency space. Hopefully, I can do my part to solidify that position.
If you want to reach out about events, news, leads, content ideas. Drop me an email - gjenkinson@theblock.co.
We are going to be doing A LOT across the board from a multimedia perspective. But today is day one, and we have to learn to walk before we can run.

2/ The effort is being conducted with open source software options Dirk and Vouch by @AttestantIO.
Dirk acts as a distributed signer, enabling operation by individuals in multiple jurisdictions, & ensuring that no single point of failure can interrupt validation.
Vouch supports the use of multiple client pairings with strategies used to mitigate client diversity risks.

After 8 fantastic years - I am leaving @Cointelegraph 👋

Highlights? Almost too many, but here's my list 👇
🪙 Bringing Bitcoin into the conversation at World Economic Forum in 2024.
🎙️Speaking at Token2049, Bitcoin Amsterdam & Las Vegas, Money20/20, Web Summit, Proof of Talk, Paris Blockchain Week.
📽️ Interviews with industry giants including @adam3us @jackmallers @saifedean @toly @paoloardoino @ethereumJoseph @TimDraper @davidmarcus @sandeepnailwal @ysiu @lopp @BitcoinPierre & many many more!
📺 Building Chain Reaction with @rkbaggs. In 1 year, we created Cointelegraph's flagship multimedia product. Just the two of us.
🍾 Founding Cointelegraph's LONGITUDE event with our CEO Yana P, @evory_mary & our event team.
🔥 Supercharging Cointelegraph's social media with the best in the game @MSBIntel 🍻 You deserve all the credit!
There are too many people to thank in one post. You all know who you are - I hope we all get to work together again in the future!
My next chapter starts in March - I'll share more then!

Ethereum's Fusaka Upgrade Explained
The next major Ethereum hard fork just hit its final testnet this week and it’s the biggest since The Merge.
Fusaka unlocks:
➡️ PeerDAS → faster L2 data processing
➡️ Verkle Trees → stateless clients & lighter nodes
➡️ Higher gas limit → more complex dApps
➡️ Faster sync → less bloat
This upgrade isn’t just technical, it changes how we build.
Shoutout to @ethereumfndn, @geniusyinka for making this video possible!

We are just one major challenge, broken onchain security, away from winning full mainstream adoption. We can do it people.
