@GraduatedBen Oil generation is like earning $0.01 per year while spending $10,000 per day. Rate matters. Always.

@GraduatedBen Rain falls every year. Drain a reservoir 100× faster and it still runs dry. Trees grow continuously. Cut them faster than they grow → deforestation. Income is generated continuously. Spend faster than you earn → bankruptcy.

We will never run out of oil and gas because oil and gas are not “fossil” fuels, they are continually generated by geologic processes within the earth.

@notlouisck Here are the REAL metrics that matter: -ETH's issuance fluctuates based on network usage. Net issuance over the past two yrs has been negative (~ -0.12%). -ETH is a yield-bearing asset (~4% avg apr over last 2 yrs)

I sort of get the concept of Bitcoin, as it has a finite supply and wouldn’t be inflationary. Why is Ethereum popular when it has an unlimited supply?

this press conference has done so much damage to the sports world

VCs making projections be like

“Big TradFi won’t buy ETH” “It’s too complicated. These guys are conservative. They don’t understand it” Ken Griffin: “Ethereum will replace Bitcoin” Carl Icahn: “prefers Ethereum over Bitcoin, it’s a store of value and a payment system” Stanley Druckenmiller: “predicts Ethereum might eventually dominate Bitcoin” Ray Dalio: owns BTC and ETH and believes crypto has a place in portfolios Jamie Dimon: against pet rock (BTC) but believes Ethereum has use cases Paul Tudor Jones: “industrial digital asset” “Fourth Industrial Revolution” “heaps of protocols have been developed that interact with real-world traditional companies” Larry Fink: “it’s about tokenization”, talks about putting the financial system on a decentralized ledger The TradFi KOLs like Ethereum. TradFi loves to follow the herd. Small potatoes? @EricBalchunas

@abdelstark Not counting defi tvl for min eth balance was a bad decision

Dear non Starknet users (8,104,225,549 - 8 Starknet users = 8104225541), I have few words for you, and I am begging you to listen (yeah I am the e-beggar now). I want to give briefly my PERSONAL opinion / sentiment with respect to some FUD around Starknet, mainly on 2 topics: - negativity / hate towards the first round of Provisions - lack of activity on the network / 8 users Simple questions and simple answers. Did we do some mistakes in the past ? Probably yes. If there is a vast sentiment like this, it must come from something. I personally did a big mistake in using the word e-beggar as reply to some individuals (i already apologised publicly for this but there is no ego here so I gladly double apologise again). Starknet is bigger than me, Starknet is bigger than all of us. Yet Starknet is nothing without you all, this is a reality. Did we do our best ? Yes, definitely. We tried hard. All people involved in every single step took it very seriously and really did the maximum. Could we have done better ? Retrospectively it's easy to say yes, but I would say that probably we could have done better. It's always the case as nothing is perfect from the get go. Do we care about this ? Yes, absolutely. Lessons are learned all along the way. We try things, and it comes with some risks. We try, we learn, we improve, repeat. What do next ? I think it's time to forget about the past for those who are not happy, you may have good reasons to not be happy. And I am sincerely sorry about it, as of course I would dream of a world where everyone could have gotten something good for them. This world does not exist unfortunately. Time for all of us together to move forward. As communicated by the Starknet Foundation, the Provisions that happened was only the first, this means there will be others, and it was stated a while ago. What can bring activity back to Starknet ? Beside constantly improving the protocol that we will of course always do, there are many things. First, we shifted from investing heavily into only infrastructure to be ready now to double down on applications. Yes, applications are everything. We need apps, we have already some strong apps, but we need more. We need more innovative use cases, we need more cool and funny things (many games are already there and many more are coming, including extremely ambitious and high quality games). We need people to have fun on the network. We need to have killer apps, consumer applications bringing real organic traffic and activity. We need more RWAs. And you know what ? We are doing many things to bring exactly ALL of that. Starknet will be strong in many verticals: DeFi, Gaming, RWA, ZKML,... I can tell you this will full confidence, and this is because of the sovereignty we have and the future proof technical choices (hard ones) we made. It took time to get there, but now that we have those solid foundations we will be in a good shape to reach escape velocity. The past years of hard working and innovations were just a warmup. Now that the infrastructure is a good shape (TPS, very low fees, native AA with Paymaster and many killer UX features, security) it's time to double down on Apps. So, if you are a team / a single dev, working on any ecosystem, on any app, reach out to us. We will support you and guide you on how to make your dream App on Starknet. We have a strong community, a very welcoming one. It's easy to get help and support. It's easy to create synergies between projects. Starknet has a soul, it really has, and this will make a difference. I am more confident than ever about the future of Starknet, and I want YOU to realise it's potential and to be part of this wonderful adventure. Join us and become the ninth user. #Only8Users #Ebeggar

In the future, if it's not on a blockchain, you won't be able to verify if it's 'real' or not.

Here is how the user allocation went for participants in the Ekubo leaderboard **414** of the top 1000 Ekubo users got 0 STRK. These are all active, productive individual users of Starknet, because there is no reason to sybil the Ekubo leaderboard. gist.github.com/moodysalem/8c7…

eventually bitcoin miner rewards will be 0 but someone has to pay the miners but they also dont want to increase block sizes, so number of transactions per block will stay the same so fees will go up? is that just like... the plan? is anyone working on this? lol

@vinibarbosabr @GoingParabolic Life is probably real tough for you

@GoingParabolic They most likely already bought their estimated demand at this point.

Blackrock, Fidelity, Invesco and other major spot Bitcoin ETF issuers are probably going to need several million Bitcoin to satisfy consumer demand over the next 24 months. Where are they going to find that much physical BTC without driving the price to $200,000+?

@sassal0x @SublimeKombucha To my surprise, a close friend who works in Mexico’s biggest crypto exchange told me they use it daily for remittances 💀

@SublimeKombucha Ripple is older than Ethereum and it really isn't being used for much at all - this isn't an opinion, it is a fact. I would highly recommend you not to waste your time on Ripple - it is a deadend project.

10 years ago, Ethereum didn't exist yet and the most exciting thing happening outside of Bitcoin was forks of Bitcoin 10 years from now, the crypto ecosystem will be completely unrecognizable but of course, I'm betting it'll still be an Ethereum-centric future
