@FAHAD961982 do you see AI agents creating a new crypto economy or mostly benefiting existing networks like ETH and SOL?

$BTC market update Bitcoin has swept the range low and reacted with a decent bounce. The next area I’m watching is $76.7K to $77K. A reclaim of this zone would open the door for a move toward $78.1K. If buyers can then establish acceptance above $78K, the $80.3K weekly level becomes the next major area of interest. On the downside, the range low remains important. Losing it would increase the probability of a deeper correction and invalidate the immediate recovery scenario. September can be a slower and more volatile month, so I’m not interested in forcing positions between key levels. For now, I’d rather wait for confirmation and trade the structure.

Honestly the daily crypto news cycle feels like drinking from a firehose lately. Half the "breaking" stories won't matter in a week, but the other half? Actual game changers hiding in plain sight. How do you filter the noise? #crypto

You can't be bearish on ETH when all of the action is happening on Robinhood

I never understood the NFT era, was everyone just under mass psychosis or what?

Can someone walk me through the reason why ETH is behaving relatively strong to every other crypto in existence here?

Yesterday's employment report was strong. Payrolls increased by 162,000, household employment grew more than 500,000, and the average workweek increased. The economy was cranking in August. Many will see more inflation and Fed tightening. I see something bigger. Headline inflation is 3.7%, but other measures are much closer to 2%. Oil could fall toward $30. Equities are hitting all-time highs as rates rise. Capital spending has broken through a ceiling that held for more than 20 years. Bitcoin is breaking away from gold. Companies embracing artificial intelligence are creating jobs faster. These are not disconnected signals. They could mark the beginning of stronger real growth and powerful technology-driven deflation. The consensus is pricing the old economy. I believe a new one is taking shape.

US debt just crossed $40 trillion against a roughly $30 trillion economy. @CathieDWood says debt measured against corporate equities is near record lows, and believes that is the number most people are missing. More in this month's “In The Know.” ⬇️ youtu.be/bjgy0BVFQx0?si…

anyone else buying this dip or just watching the carnage from the sidelines?

Not gonna lie, seeing 95 of the top 100 bleeding red and Zcash tanking hurts. But rate hike fears always feel like the end of the world… until they don't. Been through worse. Still stacking. #Bitcoin Anyone else buying this dip?

like is this normal?? 😅 my alts been flatlining forever while btc just does its own thing... how do u guys even decide when to buy more or just wait it out? 🤔

anyone else notice how alts just refuse to move until btc takes a breather lol. been sitting on my bags for weeks waiting for something to happen

Just checked the charts and my heart skipped a beat 🚀 BTC is doing BTC things again and honestly I'm never selling. Every dip taught me patience, every pump reminds me why I'm here. We're still so early it's ridiculous 🧡 #Bitcoin #BTC

Regular reminder: A key property of a blockchain is that even a 51% attack *cannot make an invalid block valid*. This means even 51% of validators colluding (or hit by a software bug) cannot steal your assets. However, this property does not carry over if you start trusting your validator set to do other things, that the chain does not have control over - at that point, 51% of validators can collude and give a wrong answer, and you don't have any recourse.

Over the past year, many people I talk to have expressed worry about two topics: * Various aspects of the way the world is going: government control and surveillance, wars, corporate power and surveillance, tech enshittification / corposlop, social media becoming a memetic warzone, AI and how it interplays with all of the above... * The brute reality that Ethereum seems to be absent from meaningfully improving the lives of people subject to these things, even on the dimensions we deeply care about (eg. freedom, privacy, security of digital life, community self-organization) It is easy to bond over the first, to commiserate over the fact that beauty and good in the world seems to be receding and darkness advancing, and uncaring powerful people in high places are making this happen. But ultimately, it is easy to acknowledge problems, the hard thing is actually shining a light forward, coming up with a concrete plan that makes the situation better. The second has been weighing heavily on my mind, and on the minds of many of our brightest and most idealistic Ethereans. I personally never felt any upset or fear when political memecoins went on Solana, or various zero-sum gambling applications go on whatever 250 millisecond block chain strikes their fancy. But it *does* weigh on me that, through all of the various low-grade online memetic wars, international overreaches of corporate and government power, and other issues of the last few years, Ethereum has been playing a very limited role in making people's lives better. What *are* the liberating technologies? Starlink is the most obvious one. Locally-running open-weights LLMs are another. Signal is a third. Community Notes is a fourth, tackling the problem from a different angle. One response is to say "stop dreaming big, we need to hunker down and accept that finance is our lane and laser-focus on that". But this is ultimately hollow. Financial freedom and security is critical. But it seems obvious that, while adding a perfectly free and open and sovereign and debasement-proof financial system would fix some things, but it would leave the bulk of our deep worries about the world unaddressed. It's okay for individuals to laser-focus on finance, but we need to be part of some greater whole that has things to say about the other problems too. At the same time, Ethereum cannot fix the world. Ethereum is the "wrong-shaped tool" for that: beyond a certain point, "fixing the world" implies a form of power projection that is more like a centralized political entity than like a decentralized technology community. So what can we do? I think that we in Ethereum should conceptualize ourselves as being part of an ecosystem building "sanctuary technologies": free open-source technologies that let people live, work, talk to each other, manage risk and build wealth, and collaborate on shared goals, in a way that optimizes for robustness to outside pressures. The goal is not to remake the world in Ethereum's image, where all finance is disintermediated, all governance happens through DAOs, and everyone gets a blockchain-based UBI delivered straight to their social-recovery wallet. The goal is the opposite: it's de-totalization. It's to reduce the stakes of the war in heaven by preventing the winner from having total victory (ie. total control over other human beings), and preventing the loser from suffering total defeat. To create digital islands of stability in a chaotic era. To enable interdependence that cannot be weaponized. Ethereum's role is to create "digital space" where different entities can cooperate and interact. Communications channels enable interaction, but communication channels are not "space": they do not let you create single unique objects that canonically represent some social arrangement that changes over time. Money is one important example. Multisigs that can change their members, showing persistence exceeding that of any one person or one public key, are another. Various market and governance structures are a third. There are more. I think now is the time to double down, with greater clarity. Do not try to be Apple or Google, seeing crypto as a tech sector that enables efficiency or shininess. Instead, build our part of the sanctuary tech ecosystem - the "shared digital space with no owner" that enables both open finance and much more. More actively build toward a full-stack ecosystem: both upward to the wallet and application layer (incl AI as interface) and downward to the OS, hardware, even physical/bio security levels. Ultimately, tech is worthless without users. But look for users, both individual and institutional, for whom sanctuary tech is exactly the thing they need. Optimize payments, defi, decentralized social, and other applications precisely for those users, and those goals, which centralized tech will not serve. We have many allies, including many outside of "crypto". It's time we work together with an open mind and move forward.

We're truly headed into one of the biggest crypto bull runs humanity has ever witnessed. 99.99% of the population has no idea what's coming. If you're reading this, you're part of the 0.01%. Wishing you all an abundance-filled journey. 🥂

Everyone's cheering token buybacks like it's 2021 stock market szn again 👀 But are we just propping up prices instead of building actual utility? Feels like a short-term dopamine hit to me. Real value or just optics? #crypto

2am and I'm staring at candles again like they owe me money. half of this market makes zero sense rn but somehow I still believe. sleep is for people who aren't early lol

what's the last whitepaper that actually made you stop scrolling and read twice?

sunday morning, coffee, and 47 tabs of whitepapers open. 90% of them are absolute nonsense but that 10%… that's why I keep doing this
