I wrote a post on @whtwnd.com about sustaining events. This also explains why I am pushing @c-base.org events like @bhnt.c-base.org away from meetup towards @smokesignal.events and encourage new events like @swapfest.berlin or HashBerg to use it in the first place. whtwnd.com/ligi.de/3lnr...

No pitches, no fluff. Just a bunch of protocol nerds in an old cinema, talking about the stuff that actually matters.

Bluesky is such a good app now and has a large, humble community. I don't understand why crypto people still default to X with platform lock-in and pay-to-engage mechanics. Let's free ourselves.

Ethereum became the most important blockchain ecosystem without any marketing but yet again we have this discussion over and over again in 10 years. Marketing is for selling products. Ethereum is not a product. It's a protocol, a technology, a philosophy.

Vendors that accept only credit cards and reject private cash or crypto payments strongly infringe your privacy and you should call them out. So, stop complaining about shops that don't accept credit cards and get used to carry cash every day.

The line is not between crypto and fiat but between traceable and private. Fiat cash is extremely handy as long as it exists and much more private than most of the popular crypto-payment processors.

To increase the @ethereum.org runway, I propose that Optimism, Uniswap, Mantle, Arbitrum, Gnosis, and ENS each donate a $100 million in assets to the Ethereum Foundation. It would not only be a gesture of giving back but setting up the ecosystem for long-term success.

What an irony that tokens on Bitcoin are called BRC20 and CAT20 indirectly referencing the Ethereum issue number 20 on the EIPs repository. We came full circle.

Same applies to removing Google from your phone but still only buying Pixels for the GrapheneOS support. It is not convenient and it takes time to understand not only how to use it but also why it is important. But the ultimate achievement is nothing but freedom and independence.

If you cannot switch from Mac to Linux because it's "too much work," think about why free software makes you only free at the cost of understanding "how it works" first. Free as in free speech not in "effortless to use."

You don't need adblockers. I stopped using adblockers years ago. All you need is blocking scripts and embeds from third-party sites. With something like uMatrix. There is no complicated blocklist required and you are not relying on the mercy of browser or extension developers.
