really nice of satoshi to invent a trillion dollar industry just so unemployable geniuses could have something to do

good morning Cannes! It’s a great day to think about the future of finance, blockchain, and cryptography!

It’s a good benchmark bc it doesn’t rely on hash functions, because every one is using different hash functions in their VM. Something better imho is prime number proving, since there is conditional branching

Super cool talk by pscott.eth ⚡️| ✨ about creating a stable coin backed by Bitcoin Still think there is a way to integrate atomic swaps and hashed time lock Bitcoin scripts (HTLC) into this architecture, might enable more efficient pricing

Just realized that the Russian ruble out performed both bitcoin and Ethereum in terms PnL in the past 6 months… it’s up 22% YTD.

privacy is becoming more mainstream with Hypergraph The Graph Yaniv Tal docs.hypergraph.thegraph.com/docs/core-conc…

The ticker is $ETH. The website is ethcf.org.

Saw these books on twitter thought they were cool, then just randomly happened to meet oskarth who gave me some copies! Amazing work!

You value ETH by comping it to peers. Oil = $85 trillion Sovereign bonds = $80 trillion Gold = $22 trillion BTC = $2.1 trillion ETH = $.3 trillion If ETH claims 10% of world reserve assets ETH is $156k. ETH is a censorship and debasement resistant global store of value.

so are we all ready to admit that EthCC - Ethereum Community Conference Cannes was one of the best ETH conferences ever? the sun, the sea, the serendipity of having everyone in 1 square mile Cannes was built for this let's do it again next year great work Jerome de Tychey 🦇🔊 and squad 🫡

does France have good coffee? J’ai pensé qu’il y avait de bons cafés ici, mais peut-être que je n’étais pas dans les bons endroits. Jai besoin de caffeine

EthCC this year was great. I think everyone is now aware of the Cambrian explosion of zkVMs, seems like the current industry focus is on stable coins and infra projects.

Add privacy to your protocol Privacy is imminent

happy Fourth of July America (from Cannes)

there’s going to be a crazy frenzy to rewrite all zk crypto to be quantum secure

EthCC in Cannes was incredible. Had so many interesting conversations, I made new friends, learned more about cutting edge cryptography (more on that later), and identified what areas of zk crypto, DeFi, and protocol design I need to research more. Can’t wait until next year!

these AI songs about Miden are amazing Gaylord has an entire Miden mixtape

The beach on the 4th of July in Cannes for the fireworks show was a great setup for a “what is ZK” lesson

what if instead of having to show your passport at border control, you could tap your phone that would present a zk proof, proving that you are able to enter the country without revealing all of your personal details and travel history
