Announcing EthView! A dashboard for your #DeFi activity, that you can view any time, anywhere, without needing a web3 broswer or wallet. No need to break out the cold storage! The application is fully client-side, powered by @infura_io, @ethplorer API, and the DeFi ecosystem.

@ZeMirch people are buying public funds that hold anthropic for like 19x NAV. Retail will buy anything.

who the fuck is going to buy this

@dwr Gemini document understanding works incredibly well and outperformed even good OCR for me

When working with multiple long, complex PDFs for a single project -- do people just upload directly to a frontier model or convert to Markdown first?

@anonchain @alexxxx Republicans are going to get absolutely annihilated in the midterms, so after that there is zero shot. Dems were willing to pass this before Crypto hitched its wagon to MAGA, but now it will be subject to partisan warfare.

@alexxxx Bill will be suspended indefinitely if not approved by start of May. That’s abhorrent. Like we can’t risk that. Crypto will get stuck in limbo.

Coinbase wtf are you doing????? Just please shut the fuck up and pass the Clarity Act, you greedy motherfuckers. I get you’re trying to exhaust retail to drag us even lower so you can fill your bags but c’mon this is getting ridiculous.

@UncleRewards Dankrad knows this better than anyone, pretty embarassing to gaslight publicly when you know better.

Anyone can launch a corpo chain, but a centralized database lacks credible neutrality. The decentralization theater of corpo chains is just for founders, employees and VCs to dump on unsuspecting retail Just use $ETH

@tushar_jain @bkiepuszewski Bugs are still produced at the higher layer. And to be honest, largely the ability to write large amounts of new smart contracts is not what's holding adoption back.

@bkiepuszewski How do you respond to this? x.com/mert/status/20…

The most ridiculous statement I have heard this week from the stage at the DAS conference, NY, was that Ethereum used to have a big moat over Solana due to years of superior EVM devtools and easy-to-understand smart contract architecture (and it's true, dev experience on Solana sucks big time if you are used to Ethereum. Just try to do sth equivalent to what is done on Ethereum to experience the pain yourself). But now, apparently, the moat is gone, it vanished. Why ? Because now you can vibe code. Before, it was simply too difficult to code smart contracts in Solana. Now agents will do it for you. It does not matter that you still won't understand the code they produce, since you could not write it in the first place. Right? Nobody cares about smart contract transparency there anyway ... So yeah, anyone can be a Solana dev now

@TolkienWorldG I think you're conflating the two movies. The gollum one is from the books, the Colbert one is new content in the future

There seems to be some confusion regarding the timeline for Lord of the Rings: The Shadow of the Past. Variety reported that it will take place 14 years after the end of The Return of the King: “Set 14 years after the passing of Frodo, the film will follow Sam, Merry, and Pippin as they set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure.” In Colbert and Jackson’s announcement video, they said the movie will focus on chapters 3–8 of The Fellowship of the Ring. The future setting seems to be the framing device for the film. A huge chunk of the film will likely be flashbacks to the events of those chapters. This means we will most likely see the Barrow-wights, Tom Bombadil, and Goldberry! (And perhaps some de-aging technology for the Hobbits!)

tempo is just another regulatory arbitrage by a corporate entity to give themselves the amazing privledge of being a bank why anyone gives a fuck is beyond me go buy stripe equity if youre bullish on that tbh

Tempo has taught me two things: 1) It's really easy to launch a blockchain if you only use a single block proposer 2) If you pay people enough they will abandon their principles

@vinibarbosabr @danrobinson This VC grift playbook isn’t new

@danrobinson How can you possibly say it is "permissionless"... when the documentation explicitly says it's "permissioned"? -> docs.tempo.xyz/guide/node/val…

Tempo mainnet is live and permissionless We designed it to be the best blockchain for payments, and every feature serves that goal We're also introducing a new standard for web and agentic payments, the Machine Payments Protocol, which you can use today

some of you won't want to read this, but what keeps Ethereum and Bitcoin relevant is that they have highly ideologically-motivated roots, with intelligent and capable adherents, who come off to many as "cult members" because they have such faith in a stringent philosophy around the core principles which power the chain they are not tourists. they are consistent, over years and decades if your chain doesn't have ideological adherents, then it's not important. it will never be important you're participating in a database which will eventually be replaced by a faster database public blockchains are meant to have core principles and ultimately derive relevance from the social consensus they create based on those principles. they're meant to stand forever

@peter_szilagyi @TheJackCrowShow Can't think of any other tech that people look negatively at? How about a) any social media company b) AI approval ratings among the public, etc.

@cryptohuntz @R89Capital This is obvious money laundering.

@R89Capital this had absolutely nothing to do with ethereum... or aave or cowswap just a completely retarded human being

Ethereum is probably the most retarded network in existence The idea that this is the future of finance is laughable and absurd

@jdorman81 ETH high inflation. Superb analysis.

Controversial opinion: The biggest reason for the massive disconnect between crypto prices and crypto adoption is that 4 of the top 5 assets (by market cap) are largely uninvestable. $BTC - The quantum fear is not going away (even though it's a fairly easy technical fix, it's a much harder governance fix) - It's not cool to own BTC now that blackrock and JP Morgan dominate it (see rise in $ZEC) - It's not digital gold (in fact, actual tokenized gold exists) - It's not scarce (endless derivs and structured products make the 21mm cap useless unless people start using physical bitcoin, which no one does). - It's not an inflation hedge - It's not a medium of exchange (stablecoins are) $ETH & $SOL - high inflation outweighing any fee capture (this is why market cap goes up while price goes down) - Infinite blockspace relative to usage, with more L1 competition coming - Fat protocol thesis on life support (and other than that thesis, no one has ever made a good argument for why L1s actually capture value) - You need ~1000x more activity / transactions to warrant today's valuations (meaning SOL and ETH are not worthless, it's just VERY hard to justify their current valuations). (For the record, I'm bullish on both Solana and Ethereum's prospects for further growth (relative to other L1s), I just don't think their tokens capture much value from that growth). $XRP - Literally the opposite of good token design. The token does absolutely nothing, and has virtually no linkage to Ripple - Ripple sells ~$3-4 billion of XRP tokens per year to fund equity repurchases (people argue all day about the efficacy of token buybacks, yet no one seems to care that Ripple dumps tokens to buyback their own stock?) This is why crypto is so broken. The entire industry was built on 4 assets that all suck as investments, which is why all of the exchanges and brokers cater only to fast money traders and macro funds/CTAs instead of real fundamental investors (even though fundamental investors make up the majority of the investor world). Of these 4 assets, I'd say i'm most likely wrong about $BTC simply because it is entirely narrative/faith based, and that can change on a dime, plus BTC always goes up eventually. I find it impossible to underwrite Bitcoin as an investment, but I do understand why others like it. Can this change? I hope so. It's very hard for an industry to grow when the top assets go down, but not impossible. It would require massive rotation (which is what we're seeing in equities right now -- a rotation out of Mag 7, private credit, and tech and into healthcare, energy, etc). IMO, there are a LOT of good crypto investments right now that accrue value via the adoption of crypto and blockchain. Aligning your investments with the actual growth areas should work. Almost all of the growth and adoption of crypto and blockchain is happening in 3 financial areas: 1) Stablecoin/payments - harder to invest in pure plays, but there are some private stocks 2) DeFi -- tons of ways to capture this growth via equity-like tokens 3) RWA tokenizaton - while most of this value accrues to middlemen like Securitize and Blackrock, there are some pure plays as well. If this industry pivots away from BTC ETH SOL XRP and memecoins, and into the stocks and equity-like tokens that fuel the growth of DeFi, payments and RWAs, then price will start matching adoption.

@nlw OpenAI keeps getting worse at this

5.4 is the single most overly verbose model I've ever seen. To the point of it being nearly unusable.

@AndrewSteinwold Good. VCs have been terrible for this space. Pure extractors who are not incentivized to foster the first principles of crypto

Fred (cofounder of coinbase + paradigm) leaving to focus on BCIs + Paradigm (leading crypto fund) not doing crypto anymore Tells you everything you need to know about crypto

@CRYPTOMERC4 @notthreadguy and miss out on twitter engagement from idiots?

@notthreadguy He's explained why and exactly how much he's selling. Please do some actual research

if vitalik is selling as much eth as humanly possible why shouldn’t you

@EthereanVibin The unfortunately reality is nothing at all matters other than Bitcoin. Ratio can have minor bull/bears, but 90% of price movement is just BTC. So we'd need 200k BTC

Would you believe me if I told you $ETH will be $5,000+ in March?

@coffeedev You realize this is only for their cap gains ui features it changes nothing about the 1099-da. Its in the fine print

Coinbase wants me to report cost basis for like 8000 transactions dating back 11 years including USDC dusting for this 1099-DA shit. I filed this all on my taxes already. Jail might literally be easier.

@pumplekin @VasiliyZukanov And they're mostly yolo'ing slop, or yolo'ing in service of selling some AI product. I think AI is amazing and I use it every day, but a world where everyone is just a vibe coding PM is nonsense

@ethview @VasiliyZukanov I know a lot of people yoloing already. In a year or two I think it will be 90% of people.

Honest question: why choose Python for the backend in the age of AI? When agents write almost all the code, and human preferences become less important, wouldn't it make sense to optimize for performance, scalability and safety with languages like Java, C#, Go, etc.?
