Ethereum people I love you and I love Ethereum
But you gotta stop minimizing how bad the L2 experience is.
If you're a crypto native, it's bad. More than bad, it's PAINFUL. That's if you already use crypto. If you're a newbie... it's unacceptable. Simply unusable.
Using Ethereum means transacting across L2s. Ethereum is now a multi-chain ecosystem.
Maybe the mint you really like is one chain, while the dapp you wanna airdrop farm is on another. Maybe you're a business like The Defiant, and get stables in three different chains bc that's where your clients have their cash.
So no, the argument of, "just use one chain and it's seamless," is not a solution. The vision of many chains working seamlessly within one umbrella ecosystem is not a solution either. The experience needs to be seamless across all L2s and mainnet. Or it just doesn't work.
and yes, I know there are technical solutions that are being worked on. but they're not here. and those that ARE here, aren't being implemented. What's the point of having account abstraction if almost no wallet and protocol is using it?
Improving Ethereum UX will require cross-ecosystem coordination. That's already hard. But it's going to be impossible if everyone deludes themselves by saying, "It's not that bad." Listen, it's bad.

This is huge.
Right now more than a third of all global payments are done via Stripe. Google, Amazon, Lyft, Apple, Walmart, Target, all use Stripe.
And now crypto (specifically USDC on Ethereum, Solana and Polygoin) will be a native payment option in the flows of all those millions of companies.
The two payments giants, PayPal and Stripe, controlling most of global payments, have now gone all in on crypto, recognizing it's just better financial infrastructure.
wen crypto mainstream? safe to say about now.
Recommend watching this video - wild to see the crypto wallet pop-up integrated within the stripe flow.
Crypto is back. @Stripe will start supporting global stablecoin payments this summer. Transactions instantly settle on-chain and automatically convert to fiat. Join the waitlist stripe.com/use-cases/crypto#… and watch the demo (h/t @Solana) from Sessions.

I know everyone is losing their minds about the spot bitcoin etf but...
ultimately we're packaging bitcoin in a fund, so that a bunch of the same wall st intermediaries can sell them to investors, layering fees on top.
feels like crypto should be about pushing in the opposite (non custodial, permissionless) direction.

when you're in crypto long enough, it's easy to become jaded and cynical (vert guilty of this too)
but let's not minimize the fact that blockchain-based finance actually.... works?!
there is permissionless, open, global:
trading
payments
lending/borrowing (secured for now)
staking
across assets:
cryptocurrencies
stablecoins
tokenized tradfi assets
protocol tokens
memecoins
Nfts
...
AND IT'S stood the test of multiple market shocks without flinching (LUNA, FTX, JPY..)
AND it can now actually scale across multiple high-performance Layer 1s and Layer 2s
Just SIX short years since DeFi even became a thing.
I think this is pretty amazing. Nothing short of revolutionary.
Meanwhile tradfi and fintech over there can't provide basic functionality for investors when a bit of volatility shakes things up.
so.. LFG?? the future of finance is blockchain-based and this has never been more obvious.

Disappointing to see leaders of the ethereum community unwilling to acknowledge what's wrong with the chain and blame underperformance on "people are dumb and don't get it"
Ethereum has real problems right now and that's what's weighing on price.
Maybe those problems are getting worked on, are temporary and will be solved down the line, but the risk that it doesn't happen or happens too slowly to keep up with competition is being priced in.
Some major problems for ETH price right now:
- L2s parasitic to L1 (value of activity happening in ETH ecosystem accrued mostly to L2s, not ETH)
- Bad UX, including double tx approvals, fragmentation across mainnet and multiple L2s (driving users/activity to other chains)
I think it takes some degree of arrogance to dismiss these concerns.
Separate point: I never really got the religious zeal some people have when defending their preferred crypto, but I guess it's because I'm a skeptical and jaded journalist at heart and not a bag holder / investor.

Ethereum has 100M addresses 5 yrs after its launch.
That's ~10x more than internet users in 1995, 6 yrs after the World Wide Web was founded.
Taking the more conservative 40M addresses holding ETH, Ethereum is still beating early internet adoption.

ETH ETF APPROVAL SUMMARY
- Form 19B-4 approved for 8 issuers, including BlackRock and Fidelity. S-1 missing. Could take weeks to months before ETH ETFs actually trade.
- Huge win for ETH as it means SEC deems it a commodity, which means less regulatory uncertainty for the entire Ethereum ecosystem.
- Also another sign regulatory landscape in the US is FINALLY becoming more crypto-friendly.
- We'll probably see extra ETH demand from tradfi funds, unclear on how much. On the one hand, maybe they'll be deterred by the fact that it's vanilla ETH with no staking. On the other hand, they still bought GBTC, so maybe they don't care.
- Finally, I said this about BTC ETF, I'll say it again. Everyone's happy bc their bags are up, but it's still kinda lame that this is crypto conforming to tradfi rails. Would much rather see more of Wall Street using actual crypto rails.
- Now really last point, this 180 degree turn in something as massive as the SEC approving an ETH ETF in just a week is exactly why everyone in this industry is addicted to it. Never a dull moment.

There's a path to fix Ethereum L2 fragmentation and horrible UX. superchain interop, intents etc. It's gonna happen, eth community is galvanized around unifying Ethereum and they'll fix it.
But I still don't see how all this L2 activity gets reflected on Ethereum mainnet. Layer 2s are getting Ethereum security for free right now, only paying for block space, which they will pay even less for with larger blobs.
I know lots of ethereans are triggered when people say Layer 2s are parasitic, and I get that Ethereum couldn't scale without them, so of course l2s are a net positive to the Ethereum ecosystem. But right now it doesn't seem like their contributions match the benefits they're getting.
This means that even if all of crypto's most successful use cases are on Ethereum Layer 2s, ETH the asset will only partially benefit. I imagine that's why even with all the real adoption happening on Ethereum, ETH just keeps sliding.

That governments can snap their fingers and wipe out your savings, by printing money (inflation) and banning USD purchases (currency controls) among others.
I learned about BTC in BsAs and because of my experience there, got it, saw its potential, was fascinated by it and wanted to keep writing about it.
I don't know if I'd be in crypto if it wasn't for Argentina. Don't know if I would have built The Defiant or written The Infinite Machine if it wasn't for my time in Buenos Aires.

Nope. That is a division of the entire Gaza strip, not the area that will be targeted.
The pamphlet includes a separate map of the areas that are targeted so that civilians can evacuate.
Israel is providing numbered maps for civilians to protect themselves ahead of military attacks directed at Hamas, while Hamas specifically hunted down civilians and killed them in the most gruesome ways for being Jewish. And Israel is genocidal?? Thanks for providing yet another data point that it's the other way around.

I'm a mom of a 19 month old and CEO of a media company
here's what I learned about whether women "can have it all" (as in, kids and fulfilling work)
it takes
1. partner (or family / community) who will happily* (as in, they won't be resentful) and meaningfully* (as in close to 50/50) share responsibilities of kids and home
2. policy and jobs who will effectively allow for 1.
3. and/or lots of money for childcare and housework
It's 2024 and things are still stacked against women who want this. The default in the majority of families and countries is still (after all the fighting and progress) for women to take most of child care and house work responsibilities, which means they don't have time to realize their full potential in the professional world. Women are missing out, society is missing out.
