With Justin Drake at Trinity College, Cambridge. He had to tolerate my craziness. Let’s accelerate all together the development and adoption of the most important protocol humanity has ever created.

Live for something larger than yourself, but only on your own terms.

big if true

We, the Ethereum Cypherpunks, act on principles. We fucking care about privacy. We fucking care about security. We fucking care about censorship resistance. And we will always fucking defend these core principles. I wrote the Ethereum Cypherpunk Manifesto because this shit

bullish ethereum congrats Tomasz K. Stańczak, hww.eth | Hsiao-Wei Wang , dannyryan, vitalik.eth :)

David Hoffman Bankless Here's my stance :) We can scale the canonical L1 EVM by 1,000x—from 10 TPS to 10K TPS—using zkVMs. The core idea: validators verify a SNARK for every EVM block, instead of re-executing it. I'll discuss this on Ethproofs call #1, Fri Apr 25 at 2pm UTC. The founders of 17

1./ I have written some response here: ethereum-magicians.org/t/long-term-l1… reproducing tl;dr

1 gigagas/sec (10K TPS) on Ethereum L1 with zkVMs no compromises: → consumer hardware (zkVMs) → home internet (DAS) → censorship resistance (FOCIL) → 100% uptime (client diversity) → 8K consensus nodes Built for internet finance. Believe in something real.

I have the feeling Dan Boneh’s lectures are cryptography’s equivalent to the Feynman Lectures

One super interesting take from a conversation with Justin Drake: Bitcoin’s security model will be broken in 10 years. ETH will be the only money left — ultrasound, credibly neutral, decentralized, and economically sound. Here’s a deeper dive into why Bitcoin’s model might not

The novel thing we are doing is in the peer to peer network, the novel thing is in the principles, the thing that build a trillion dollar asset class is the soul, the attempt to do new things better

The security of Bitcoin PoW is a ticking time bomb. Bitcoin fees are at a 13-year low—less than 10 BTC/day. Despite 2016, 2020, 2024 halvings, miner revenue from fees is at a 9-year low—just 1%. low fees → low security budget → low security Bitcoin's security model is

The health indicator no one talks about = the strong desire to work and build things. Whether for the intrinsic love of the work, the rewards, or both. Yes we need sleep and (some need) recreation but drive is at least as important as any other metric.

Ethereum L1 is the world ledger.

Beware things that frictionlessly capture your attention. There’s no learning there. At least not the kind you want. It teaches your attention to be a prey animal. Engaging in physical, intellectual, artistic, entrepreneurial pursuits is how you actually rewire for the better.
