_gabrielShapir0 > isn't this actually self-interested though?

Of course! Pardon my excitement, but that's really what Ethereum-alignment about (from my PoV). Lido isn't a charity, so it needs to make decisions that benefits the business/protocol; but this time, that business decision also

do your duty to Ethereum

burn ETH

It’s not a huge conceptual leap to imagine running a website to be deemed money transmission by an overzealous prosecutor with an axe to grind if transmission doesn’t require control and can be passive broadcasting. That’s a huge first amendment problem for the government if

Telling you tradfi is just slowly but surely coming to our level

Jake Chervinsky I have to think if you happily accept liquidity from the US with the promise of an airdrop, then later geo-fence out the US, possibly you've sidestepped US securities laws, but only because you've engaged in deceptive trade practices.

Seems like a bad trade off.

good pod episode. i agree it's good that the community pushes back. it has happened twice now recently, which is maybe a sign. my view is EIPs should have a *non-binding* sanity check feedback mechanism that the wider stakeholder community can chime into.

CZ really is the best to ever do it. Unlike Sam, he didn’t lose anyone’s money. He is still a hero to all. He literally memed his prison sentence into existence. He does 4 months in the easiest camp prison playing pickleball and meditating. Walks away with $47 billion dollars 👏🏼

What if I tell you there is very good solution to the low float/high FDV launches

What if I tell you that solution doesn't require any change in regulation, any moralising or collective coordination of all the founders and VCs to change things

Only thing it takes for you to not

A lot of you were asking about this, here is a bit more context to what is the Astroport Protocol Foundation.

This is the normal progress, whenever a product hits maturity, it isn’t the end, it is just the start to another cycle of innovation, iteration and development.

And it

Repurposing all group chats to 'Reformed Cryptobros for Democracy (Biden Admin/DC PMC Bootlicker HQ)'. That way we can all pull up our Warrenbucks social credit score into positive territory and avoid the labor camps when they pivot to locking up the open source AI bros

This bill would treat all consensus layer mining and staking rewards (incl gas fees) as nontaxable until disposition, and then as cap gains for most people.

Would include rewards earned thru delegated staking.

it's over, I've been disavowed and am initiating ghost protocol

Legal in crypto is hilarious

“Lets call it stakedrop instead of airdrop, that will definitely work!”

Who the fuck comes up with this shit?

now that eigen introduced different classes of points (pre and post snapshot)

i wonder if at some point a protocol will introduce class A/B/C points, like tradfi shares

I don’t think the untransferable token strategy works well in bull. In bear market maybe, because attention is weak anyway, but not now. It’s a loss-loss strategy 🫠

-> You immediately open the floodgates for competitors. Previously people could have thought “nah I am not

If a project plans to geo-block their airdrop, should they also geo-block their points program?

VCs shoveled $120m into the juicero, the keurig for juice, and it turned out that the machine’s $700 price tag and necessity for wifi was no match for just squeezing the juice packets with your hands.
My point is that yes, your useless DeFi protocol is worth $500m. Dream bigger.

structuring a DAO like a nation doesn't really make sense-cool experiments like Pocket and Optimism etc. but creates undue complexity

cyber-nations comprised of DAOs (aka meta-DAOs), though--these could make sense to have an executive, a legislature, a judiciary, and so on

can someone sweep or dump or something i do not like this
