I hope @RyanSAdams, @TrustlessState, &
@bankless see this
You guys changed my life, thank you. Don't listen to the haters.
You gents have been inspiring me since Nov 2020 to be bankless & I've been traveling the world for over a year because of y'all.
The world needs you. And your channel!
You guys are the representation of passion, honesty, intellect, & honor within the Web3 space. You are the cornerstone to this foundation and we need y'all to know it.
In 10 years you will look back and think of this misplaced hate & FUD as just a blimp in time, don't let it stop the movement you've created and the millions of people who have learned and been onboarded to Web3 because of you. You've changed so many peoples lives like mine that you couldn't even fathom.
I am truly grateful to have stumbled upon your podcast. You've inspired me to become a builder and humbly I've been grinding in the background as a pioneer like y'all helping create the foundation of our new digital economy. You inspired me to do so, so please don't listen to the hate.
This is the Frontier, we're headed west!
Saw @garyvee at the airport in Vegas but kept it to myself because he looked like he was trying to stay incognito.
But here’s a pic for proof of his driver cause I’m no liar

So, let me get this straight.
It took Ethereum a decade of compounding progress and relentless execution to reach:
- $85B in DeFi TVL, the largest decentralized financial base in existence.
- $165B in stablecoins circulating across its ecosystem.
- $13B in tokenized RWAs and growing.
- $73B in NFT trading volume across 23M buyers.
- $27B held in ETFs and $24B in corporate treasuries.
- 8+ execution clients, 12,500+ nodes, ~200 L2s, and 15,000 active developers.
- Universal wallet support and Bitcoin-level brand recognition.
- A $1B Ethereum Foundation treasury and institutional adoption across the world’s largest firms.
And yet, some people panic over a new startup that just raised $500M on a $5B paper valuation, incubated by a VC firm, hyped for a niche payments use case, with no credible product in market, buying their way into a theoretical playbook.
Let’s dramatize the reality:
People severely underestimate the switching costs and barriers to entry in building a general-purpose L1, earning developer trust, attracting real users, onboarding apps, integrating with wallets, getting listed on exchanges, performing updates, supporting the chain, sustaining research & development, and maintaining credibly neutral decentralization.
Momentum, credibility, scalability, interoperability, privacy, trust, uptime track record, and network gravity are the hardest things to buy or replicate.

Vitalik Buterin deserves a Nobel prize in economics for his work on crypto and Ethereum.
The fact that he’s barely considered shows how much ivory tower economists are disconnected from applied theory.
Future generations will judge their absence in harshly.
Crypto is the greatest economic innovation of our era and 98% of economists alive are missing it.

This is Javier Milei.
He became president of Argentina and achieved what economists said was impossible.
In a 2-hour interview with @lexfridman, he explains how he slashed 3,000+ regulations in 6 months.
And why Elon & Vivek are taking notes: 🧵
