Bitmine (NYSE-BMNR) $ETH $BMNP retweeted
Regarding $NVDA
The departure of the founder and CEO is a massive test for any company. Here are the reasons we expect $NVDA to continue to dominate:
💪 huge technological lead in chip design and supply chain control plus CUDA, that all survive a leadership change
💪 Engineering talent is deep. If Jensen was the chief designer of the chips and architecture, the company’s risk would be much greater
💪 an ownership culture at NVDA: 80% of employees are stock millionaires and 50% own stock worth more than $25 million
These employees are not “punching the clock” and highly motivated to maintain the company’s leadership position
💪 The stock has an attractive PE multiple and the substantial free cash generation means the company can support the stock via buybacks
There will be pain near term since many investors view this as an adverse development. It is. But at 10x forward PE, this is also the best risk/reward in AI at the moment

"Vitalik Buterin, founder of Ethereum, declared at Devcon 8 in Mumbai, 'I've finally made up my mind, ETH is a store of value, ETH is money.'
This declaration by the founder of Ethereum, in my view, is a seismic shift, clarifying how ETH will capture value in this coming supercycle of tokenization and AI," stated Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.
"In my opinion, ETH was not a 'cash flow' token model, like HYPE or LIT, but rather pristine and trusted collateral, and reflective of how Ethereum is the Layer 1 chosen by the vast majority of financial institutions moving assets onto the blockchain," continued Lee.

Vitalik further clarified his views with a post expanding on why he believes "ETH as store of value (SoV)."
The 3 reasons he described:
1⃣ETH as fee-burning is not as strong "as it seemed;"
2⃣Optimizing for fee-burning is not necessarily compatible with decentralization and capture resistance; and
3⃣Optimizing for SoV aligns with ETH's strengths of decentralization and CROPS.
"In other words, ETH as a Store of Value is most consistent with the future roadmap of ETH and also the role ETH will play in the coming super tokenization supercycle," added Lee.
nitter.cf/VitalikButerin/status/…
Expanding on why I believe "ETH as store of value (SoV)" makes much more sense to focus on than "ETH as fee-burning token".
Three primary reasons:
1. ETH as fee-burning token never was as strong as it seemed
2. Optimizing for ETH as fee-burning token would demand Ethereum and ETH function in ways that are very hard to make compatible with decentralization and capture resistance.
3. Meanwhile, optimizing for ETH as SoV is aligned with Ethereum focusing on its unique strengths (decentralization and CROPS)
EIP-1559 (including its burn) is fine and good, we should keep them. But we should not feel sad if fee burn is < 10% of breakeven indefinitely; the value of ETH comes from elsewhere.
The core idea: the big thing that people appreciate about Ethereum is decentralization and CROPS. The main pragmatic benefit that these things translate into is stability. SoV is the category where that is not an unneeded extra we merely put effort into for ideological reasons, but rather a pragmatic strength from the perspective of people putting in their assets. And in the era of AI disruption, stability will be highly valued.

"Late last week, Binance was hacked and $6.3 billion of customers' funds was stolen. According to reports by Binance and other media sources, the exploit stems from an infiltration of a contractor into Binance's corporate infrastructure. The FBI has named North Korea (DPRK) as the perpetrator. While this is a terrible development, in my view, the relatively muted crypto market reaction is very constructive, particularly compared to the market's response to prior sizable crypto thefts," stated Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.
"In February 2025, ByBit was also hacked by DPRK (with a very different methodology) and $1.5 billion of customer crypto was stolen. The day the ByBit theft was announced, ETH fell 8% and was down 20% within a week. By contrast, since the Binance theft was disclosed, ETH went down 4%. We believe this is a far more muted market reaction despite the size of the theft being approximately quadruple the size," continued Lee.
"We believe there are 6 reasons that explain why the Binance theft has a muted market reaction. These are:
➡️Binance has the financial capabilities to cover all customer losses.
➡️There was not a 'cascade' of Defi protocol failures, as was seen post-ByBit theft.
➡️Swift industry action cut potential loss by 50%.
➡️FBI named North Korea (DPRK) as the responsible party within 2 days of the theft. Historically, authorities have taken as long as 180 days to name DPRK in prior heists.
➡️Exploit was a "corporate infiltration" of Binance infrastructure and not a blockchain exploit.
➡️Limited price downside is a sign that a crypto "bull market" is underway, notwithstanding recent price declines.
And taken altogether, we believe this is a sign that the crypto industry is increasingly resilient and more capable of absorbing these nation-state assaults on financial infrastructure,"
stated Lee.

Agree
I think that $ETH to $3,000 isn't far away.
The reason for that is that we've just had a very obvious sweep of the lows.
At that point, the consensus is that we'll continue to fall.
What happens?
Probably the exact opposite of what the consensus currently is.
If #Ethereum is able to flip $2,400, you could argue that this is a deviation beneath the low and we'll start grinding back upwards.
This will fuel: long buyers, and short liquidations.
My first target zone for that is the area at $2,800 and most likely $3,000-3,100.
$ORCL surged after announcing a roadmap requiring far less external capital (debt and equity)
- @Oracle stock rose 11%
- Bitmine less than 40,000 $ETH away from 5%
See the analogy 👀
Ethereum is the place for onchain finance
$ORCL just laid out a path to $225B in revenue by FY2030 which would triple its business in 4 years.
Even more interesting is that Oracle expects its growth to be self-funded by FY2029 which could ease concerns about how much debt it needs to finance its massive AI buildout.
