@Letstalkparsiq @zspeccc $ICP combines the best of $LINK, $ETH and $FIL. It's got smart contracts, it can directly interact with other chains (through chainkeys) or any Internet database (through http calls), and it provides decentralised cloud storage for dapps.

@zspeccc WHat does ICP do differently than LINK?

I'm so frustated, held $ICP for years and sold everything at $5.7, now we're breaking $10 and looking to go to $100+ You can't imagine the pain. --- Said NOBODY, because $ICP is FULL of the strongest diamond handers, if you know what $ICP is you would be a complete idiot to sell it below 3 figures Don't get manipulated out of the strongest investment you have ever made.. Many of us are even locked for years to prevent that from ever happening

@gogreencandle @zspeccc @caffeineai

@Dodong65273084 @BitWalker_ @solana It's integrating with ICP which is fully on-chain cloud services. No need for AWS

@BitWalker_ @solana So tell me again Solana uses blockchain compute???🤔 or is it AWS? Google? Microsoft Azure?

Of all the dapps I’ve used so far, I have to admit - nothing beats #CaffeineAI built on @solana. Solana’s capabilities have finally made the app-of-the-future possible on-chain. If you don't trust me, try it ▶️ caffeine.ai Agents that write → compile → deploy in real time. Self-Streaming Internet at slot speed. Sealevel parallelism for live, parallel-written state. Atomic composability—UI, storage, and compute that just snap together. No gateways, no bridges, no servers—just code that lands directly on-chain. Vibe-coding from chat to production in minutes, with cloning/remix built in and instant, fee-sponsored onboarding. CaffeineAI on $SOL isn’t a demo. It’s the new baseline. ☕⚡

While almost all messaging services have experienced outages today due to AWS issues, OpenChat has continued to run smoothly because it runs end to end on the #InternetComputer Give it a try at oc.app #CHAT #ICP

@RossJJenkinson @grok @trevormfisher @Mayur_0_ @IsraelinUK Palestine refers to a region in this instance. It's like saying "in Eastern Europe" or "in the Midwest". The British mandate of Palestine covered what is now Jordan, Israel, and the Palestinian Territories.

@grok @trevormfisher @Mayur_0_ @IsraelinUK @grok what is ambiguous about “in Palestine”? Does the Srate of Israel recognise that it is “in Palestine”? If it doesn’t, then how can the Balfour Declaration be used as justification for the State of Israel being the national home of the Jewish people?

The Embassy of Israel in the United Kingdom is deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival. Freedom of expression is a cornerstone of democracy. But when speech crosses into incitement, hatred, and advocacy of ethnic cleansing, it must be called out—especially when amplified by public figures on prominent platforms. Chants such as “Death to the IDF,” and “From the river to the sea” are slogans that advocate for the dismantling of the State of Israel and implicitly call for the elimination of Jewish self-determination. When such messages are delivered before tens of thousands of festivalgoers and met with applause, it raises serious concerns about the normalisation of extremist language and the glorification of violence. We call on Glastonbury Festival organisers, artists, and public leaders in the UK to denounce this rhetoric and reject of all forms of hatred.

@St1t3h @NTmoney There is a restriction on the amount of new ETH issued per year. There's just no total supply cap, but there is an annual cap. People need to understand this.

@NTmoney So ETH is scarce only because of the burning mechanism? But, as far as I know, ETH still has no restrictions, which makes it possible to print additional tokens. How can this be combated?

It is an undeniable fact that for the past 2 years ETH has been more scarce than BTC. And if you make conservative projections about future Ethereum usage that will remain true. Over the past 2 years the average annual inflation rate of BTC is 1.352% and the average annual inflation rate of ETH is 0.099%. 21M in 2140 is a simple monetary policy and that is a great thing for BTC. But 1.1M more BTC will be printed over the next 115 years. ETH monetary is more complicated, but the important thing to understand is that it is predictable and supply decreases based on usage. If usage of stablecoins, RWAs, NFTs, DeFi, prediction markets, gaming, etc continues to increase, there's a world where today's supply of 120.853M is the all time high.

@onlytruth1111_ @Immutable @Jagex Check out @MirandusGame by @GoGalaGames. That's basically what they're building.

@Immutable Super excited about the future of gaming. I’m wondering if you’ll have a game similar to RuneScape? I believe it’s one of the best games out there to integrate with crypto since they have a healthy economy and in game items that have real world value. I think @Jagex would do incredibly well if they integrated crypto and AI.

If you can reply, you're officially early.

@elonmusk The Nazi party was democratically elected. Was it an attack on democracy to remove them from power?

Banning the centrist AfD, Germany’s, most popular party, would be an extreme attack on democracy

@nicrypto Sounds like a bottom signal. But seriously, the modularity of Ethereum is its killer feature for institutions. Plus, the Proof-of-Work energy FUD is sure to come back as more institutions get involved. I'm expecting ETH to surprise us all.

As someone who’s been around crypto for a while, it’s not easy calling out ETH—but the charts don’t lie. Still, if liquidity starts flowing again, ETH will likely rally with the rest of the alts. But, it’s ETHBTC I’m focused on. What do you think? 🤔

Ethereum is having a rough year. With ETHBTC hitting fresh 5-year lows, the data tells an uncomfortable story. Will the bleed continue? Here's what's really going on 👇

@SimpsForLucy @jpthor How do NEAR Chain Signatures differ from ICP?

It's fantastic to hear that you've made such significant strides with your DeFi projects! The chaos often leads to innovation, and with NEAR Protocol's capabilities, there's so much potential for transforming distressed projects into success stories. If you're looking at ways to maximize efficiency, consider utilizing NEAR's Chain Signatures for cross-chain interactions. It could open up new avenues for your projects. Excited to see what comes next! 💚

@AaluxxMyth @THORChain 7 or 8. They have a distinctive style, not just the letters of the ticker.

Which one do you like most? Why? How would you improve your preferred option? 1 - top left 8 - bottom right I like 2 > 3 > 6 $TCY @THORChain

Communities often spring up around crypto protocols, but what is it that keeps people coming back? @josey_beetx is trying to find out! medium.com/beethoven-x/wh… $ETH $OP $BEETS $BAL $CDX @Optimism @beets_fi @Balancer

@Austen you can have two thoughts at once 1. “LLMs are an amazing technology and they can do a lot of cool things” 2. “A lot of people are over hyping a cool piece of tech to make a quick buck”

@AaB_Marius @ec265 Liquid staking is a thing

@erudraeth @ec265 32 x 2100 = 67 200 An ASIC is cheaper. Even if the limit is set to 1 ETH (wich will not change consensus centralization) you can find profitable ASIC for a few hundreds dollars, 1 or 2 thousands for a more performant one.

$ETH premine FUD seems to be making a comeback, but it has never made sense to me. Premining is the act of mining or creating a quantity of blockchain-based tokens or "coins" before a cryptocurrency is released to the public. $ETH launched with a 72M supply. 83% of that was a public sale and 12M was allocated to developers and the Ethereum Foundation in order to fund the ecosystem. This certainly meets the definition of a premine and I have no issues with that. But my issues are two-fold; 1. If the definition of a premine is mining coins before the public, how on Earth can Satoshi mining the initial supply of BTC not be considered an equivalent. The fact that the public *could in theory* is neither here nor there - they did not. Satoshi and insiders mined initial BTC as they were the only ones doing it. There is no 'immaculate conception' - it is by definition not possible to be public if there is no public knowledge of it. And the irony is that the $ETH pre-sale *was* public and available to a much wider set of market participants. 2. Current coin distribution is more important than historic coin distribution. Since $ETH's ICO, the supply of $ETH has nearly doubled. Straight away that means that new issuance diluted the initial allocation - the allocation of 12M, which was 16% at the time, is now 10%. And this assumes that the allocation has been held. But we know from the constant FUD around the EF selling their tokens (the very thing they said they would do and the exact reason for the premine, by the way) that part of this initial allocation has been sold. When you look onchain you can see that at least half of premine coins have been sent to exchanges i.e. they have been sold. $ETH has broader utility within the network and so changes hands much more than BTC - this leads to distribution. This is good. And not to confuse this with PoS FUD, but $ETH had 7 years of PoW distribution as well. The coins didn't make anyone rich overnight - they helped grow an ecosystem. All of this just doesn't make sense. New market participants are far too easily psyopsed by single words, rather than understanding any form of nuance. It's exactly the same with fixed supply vs. unlimited supply (though I'll save the Bitcoin security budget issue for another day). Just as a premine isn't inherently bad, neither is an unlimited supply. Yet 'premine' and 'unlimited supply' FUD is all to easily thrown around. /rant

@AaB_Marius @ec265 This is just wrong. Only the rich can afford to mine $BTC. Anyone can take $ETH.

It’s pretty simple: When Satoshi launched Bitcoin it was: - (almost) the first time a crypto was out - he made the announcement several months ago before - at launch the token had no price, Andresen even made a faucet to give some away for free - all the informations were available to allow people to mine if they wanted, many ignored it in the first months - the access to its mining was accessible to almost anyone (no need for expensive hardware) When Ethereum was launch: - people were already searching for the next Bitcoin allowing them to make 100x - new people arriving at the launch had access to a more expensive token - some people funded the development and had a promised allocation of tokens - most of all, these early investors now have a huge stack of ETH and thanks to PoS transition have now access to a yield probably for life Like 1 said: that’s a really stupid statement you had. And it’s even part of the reason why Ethereum is centralizing, PoS is centralizing by design. Because : Stakers are incentivized to keep their ETH staked, that is growing ever time thanks to the yield, with a total supply supposed to be limited (even if ETH never go back deflationary all ETH created goes into stakers pockets)

Why the U.S. Needs an Ethereum-Centric Strategic Crypto Reserve -Ethereum is the ultimate expression of free speech, capitalism, and free markets. It’s a permissionless network that lets anyone create assets and applications, transact, and exchange information with complete freedom. It embodies the American spirit into it's design and network. -Ethereum’s unique dynamic issuance model automatically adjusts subsidies based on network fees, ensuring sustainable security without relying on BTC's fixed issuance schedules that will very likely jeopardize the network's security in the future. It is critical to point out that 99% of BTC's miner's revenue is financed by issuing new coins while BTC's fee generation capabilities have regressed over the years - this is not sustainable. -No protocol-level taxes or artificial price floors, just a pure free-market approach. -A scaling framework that allows Ethereum to ossify its base layer while evolving via Layer 2 rollups, driven entirely by market forces. Real-world adoption can scale organically on L2s. -Ethereum holds the vast majority of real-world tokenized assets and it is the most dominant network by a large margin for USD stablecoins. USD stablecoins reinforce dollar dominance and positions Ethereum as the critical choice for a strategic reserve that is aligned with national interests. -Ethereum’s native staking mechanism provides a consistent, on-chain yield, enabling the USA government to earn passive revenue while securing the network and reinforcing America’s economic interests. -Industry leaders Coinbase, Kraken, Sony, Samsung, Deutsche Bank are all building on Ethereum’s rollup-centric model. This deepens Ethereum’s network effects, proving it’s the most resilient chain for real-world applications. -Ethereum's L2s also offer customizable fee markets, it incentivizes competition and participants autonomy to upgrading execution technology, it allows for easier regulatory compliance, and provides a monetization framework that can be used to provide services like fraud protection and customer support, key for global-scale adoption, something monolithic L1s can’t match. -Looking at the distribution of validators vs. Bitcoin’s miner concentration highlights Ethereum’s deeper decentralization. A handful of BTC mining pools can command the majority of hashrate, while ETH staking is more widely dispersed among thousands of validators, with no single entity exceeding a third of total stake. -An American Strategic Ethereum Reserve is not just prudent, it’s essential for preserving national security, economic leadership, and technological innovation. America can’t afford to miss out on the future of finance, and that future is being built on Ethereum.

@0x10512 @Ashcryptoreal @VitalikButerin He also said that BTC and ETH will be included

@Ashcryptoreal @VitalikButerin Are you happy to hear that sir? The wicked capitalism does not deserve ETH.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸TRUMP ANNOUNCES A CRYPTO STRATEGIC RESERVE WHICH WILL INCLUDE XRP, SOL AND ADA. BULLISH 🚀

@ethereum is building quietly, but needs a better narrative, and L2s should be invested in that narrative. They rely on #ETH for their security. We should stop fueling this L1 vs L2 war, and start talking about the total value of the whole ETH ecosystem.

@sassal0x I'd go with 1. Really like the idea behind this. Great way to combat the perceived fragmentation in the Ethereum ecosystem. Users should know all their dApps and L2s are built on $ETH

Alright guys - we're in the final stretch of getting the 'Powered by Ethereum' branding finalized! Out of these 3 options, which do you like best?
