catching up on the negative posts on my TL
yeah we definitely struggled here, we could have executed better — and next time, we will
this is how engineering works, through iteration, finding bottlenecks, and then fixing them for next time
in 2021-2022, 1% of this load would have taken the chain down from producing any blocks at all
a large number of these problems are preventable, but sometimes require massive demand events like this weekend to force teams to actually integrate (fee APIs are a big example of this) — we were able to help countless teams fix their problems after they got in touch with us
on the other hand, we've made insane progress
solana DEXes are flipping traditional stock exchanges, solana apps are placing in the top 10 of global app stores, and literal presidents of entire countries are launching their tokens on solana
not bad
and this is all happening while we operate at a fraction of our capacity — agave is improving their client 10x, firedancer is releasing theirs, and blockspace is doubling
doublezero hasn't even launched yet
do not let armchair experts who conflate having 0 demand with being scalable get to you
there is a shitload of bandwidth to increase and a shitload of latency to reduce
and we will get it done, as we have done every single time before

The thing is...I love Coinbase for a number of reasons:
1. First mover and pioneer in the space. For many years, they were the only trusted exchange as a US public company.
2. They do innovate - BASE chain is a revelation and is succeeding beyond anyone's imagination
3. They fought the SEC with everything to make crypto happen.
It is why as an investor, I am hoping that can fix what is wrong. Their support structure is a disaster and is in need of @brian_armstrong to put his attention to. Here is what they need:
1. They need escalation procedures
2. Support team managers that can answer questions without reading from a prompt
3. Clear and concise rules in which an account can be frozen. Document it clearly
3. Clear and concise escalation when accounts all of a sudden are frozen. People get upset when it is there money being frozen.
This is a simple start and not a big ask for a public company. Amazon won because of it's support and customer centric ways.

With respect to Binance, I'm reading through the SEC complaint. It's over 130 pages, but seems like the next in a series of steps to implement chokepoint 2.0 in the United States. The end goal is a agenda based CBDC partnered with a handful of massive banks and end-to-end control over every aspect of your financial life.
A regulatory event is where you have a debate about compliance with a law or guidance. This event seems to be a polticial philosophical disagreement with the very existence of cryptocurrencies and what they represent. An unelected group of people have decided that concepts like self-sovereign identity, owning your wallet, and the freedom to control your economic agency should be removed from the masses and given to the "enlightened" few.
Honestly, what is happening isn't anything new. It's always the same fight between freedom and authoritarianism just with different players, technology, and words. It does seem like this event is a perfect opportunity for the entire industry to set aside it's fragmented nature and unite for a common sense set of rules and guidelines that can prevent the United States from slipping into a distopia that would make 1984 look like a vacation.
I'll have more to say later, but will close with we are going to be fine. Everything's alright and the future is bright for the industry.

In 2022 Fashion stole the show for the highest NFT revenue on ETH. Thank you @Moonblock_io for the reporting 😎
Really nice thread here!
What are the *actual* differences between Polygon and @solana?
There’s been a discussion about this lately and misinformation.
Which one is faster, cheaper and more decentralized? ⬇️
Would you visit a phygital pop-up store in NYC or Miami?
Would you visit a physical NFT store to meet artists, learn about NFTs, and buy phygital items?
Well, you can do it in the UAE thanks to @FTNFT1
Anyone that invests in an NFT stable coin should save themselves the pain and light their money on fire personally. Talk about a house built on quicksand 🥸
If you are building in web3 and need help getting your project across the finish line I highly recommend speaking with @rastrent4
Anyone that believes the blur token drop is a good thing for NFTs is mistaken. This get rich scheme is another black eye for the entire ecosystem. #blurredvision #blurtoken
