Just do ETH.

@PhiMarHal @hanni_abu @owocki because of gpu needed for real-time proving?

@EVMavericks1306 @hanni_abu @owocki I think the reasoning is if you only have datacenters left to validate, hardware requirements can be higher. Exaggerating but you get the point.

for ~2 years there's been a telegram group where ethereum's monetary policy gets debated. justin drake started it march 2025, the day after solana's issuance cut failed a vote. 2,715 messages later, three camps that formed in the first 48 hours haven't moved: 1. reduce issuance (anders' 0.5% max-issuance curve, because the network overpays for security and staking slowly eating raw eth is a real risk). 2. don't you dare (hanniabu's math: cut it and coinbase survives on loss-leader economics while the solo staker dies). 3. it's not urgent (sassal: the merge already cut issuance 90% and eth/btc still bled). meanwhile staking has crossed 1/3 of all eth and keeps grinding up ~50k/day. but the data shows it flowing to coinbase, binance, kraken, and treasury companies. everyone agrees the current curve was suboptimal. nobody agrees it's urgent, safe to change, or fixable without breaking something they care about more. this is what monetary policy looks like with no central bank. the hard part is getting a decentralized system to agree that changing the rules is safe.

In order to understand what this means you need to know that Brantly was the main reason ENS got so popular back in 2021-2022. The same people who are now stealing the $500m canceled him and fired him even after all he did for ENS. Yet he did the unthinkable and kept working on ENS until today even after having been treated the way he was. Imagine the frustration of Labs. You fire the guy, you mount a canceling campaign against him ... and yet he does not stop working on the ecosystem. What this firing and canceling did not do, Nick and Labs managed to finally achieve today. In killing ENS by capturing the DAO and stealing its treasury there is no ecosystem to build on anymore. A naming system that people don't use is worthless. Shame it has come to that. And despite all that, Brantly and the team shows integrity again here by declining the $1.2m grant from the DAO to keep building on the ecosystem. As there is no ecosystem to build on anymore. They could have just taken it and slow rugged, but no they are people of integrity. I applaud Brantly and his team for doing so. The downside that's $1.2m more for Nick and Labs to steal through their "independent" foundation ...

@owocki @drjasper_eth had an interesting curve solution I saw somewhere, but didn't look too deeply, but protected home stakers. I lean to this doesn't matter, right now, but I definitely see how it could become more of an issue.

Ansem thinks the market is back because the coin he created about himself called Ansem in which he holds 90% of the supply is going up a lot

@DonAlt triple vaxxed behavior satoshi did the same

If I was a bad actor I would 1) Have someone launch a coin for me 2) Take it over to "save the community" 3)Airdrop a bunch of the supply to friends & influencers *That way they'll stay quiet when it goes to shit 4) A bunch more to my unknown side wallets *Justify it as airdropping to community 5) Look like an angel 6) Cash out on the side holding on main 7) Keep bullposting Coin goes to zero eventually? I'm still holding you idiots did this, why can't we have nice things "I'm losing infinite just as you are" "At least we tried" All the while I'm laughing my way to the bank Glad this is just a hypothetical, would be truly evil if anyone did this

@hanni_abu @owocki > having less validators makes the lean roadmap easier curious why?

There's a more nuanced overview on ethdebate.com/issuance > 2. don't you dare (hanniabu's math: cut it and coinbase survives on loss-leader economics while the solo staker dies). That's not quite my take. My take is: - those pushing the change are doing so in an extremely bias way by pretending there's only positive outcomes of reduced issuance and only negative outcomes of the current issuance; it's more nuanced than that with lots of tradeoffs which is why I made ethdebate.com - "minimal viable issuance" doesn't even state how you define what's minimal - quality of stake matters the most for resilience but larger stakers have economies of scale to outlast independent stakers as issuance trends lower, pushing out the most valuable stakers - the above outcome isn't guaranteed to happen under the current issuance but it if we lower it so it's probably more accurate to say I'm in camp 3 - there's no consideration of downstream effects to defi but when this is brought up it's met with claims that this will somehow be good an even raise yields in some magical way - there's also nonsense arguments being made to try and gain support like stating that cutting issuance will lead to price appreciation or that cutting issuance is needed for PQ - I can't help but feel there's an unstated hidden agenda motivating this push which is they know it'll push out validators and want that b/c having less validators makes the lean roadmap easier

@LomahCrypto @CryptoParadyme the top wasnt differnt - ilcapo

@CryptoParadyme Felt like behavior this time around was different. No real blow offs. Not much of an alt szn. Generally less euphoria from what I can tell. Top felt more controlled than every cycle I’ve participated in

Devil’s Advocate: If this cycle’s top was different from previous cycles.. Why can’t this cycle’s bottom be different as well? Do we really need to see a pseudo-FTX LUNA Death Spiral from MicroStrategy?

@adietrichs @barnabemonnot @Nomaticcap @ethlabs_org @edge_pod @ryanberckmans much better media imho!

@barnabemonnot @Nomaticcap @ethlabs_org @edge_pod @ryanberckmans Happy to come on!

We would have loved to host @ethlabs_org. We were doing bullish podcasts on Ethereum at the stone bottom in early 2025 (and dating back to 2023) Just use @edge_pod. Here's a great example of one with @ryanberckmans from the dark ages: youtu.be/2AX2GlJAmho?si…

@vandy_prod brother i's up 20% on the week and >30% from last local bottom
