10 Reflections on the first 10 years of Ethereum 1. “it takes a village” Many of the people who showed up to celebrate together Ethereum blockchain genesis block 10 year anniversary in Sydney are people who have been collaborating, building software, speculating and forming deep bonds around the shared mission of Ethereum. So many over the heads sustained and kept their enthusiasm (albeit occasionally questioning themselves 🥹) over multiple rough experiences: - the DAO hack - parity multisig exploits - countless exchange hacks - ICO boom and bust - huge dumps before DeFi summer - the list can go on and on No one type of person or one region of the world could create this, “it takes a village”

I attended roman's trial for one day, the prosecution focused on proving TC's usage went up over time... so what, is creating a killer app illegal?! make no mistake, this isn't just about privacy it's about permissionless innovation, they want to clip your crypto wings

Opinion: TradFi leaning into DeFi will end in one of the following ways: 1. DeFi adjusts to TradFi - offers services related to crypto currencies but agrees to trusted centralized entities running the backend of the whole operation. 2. TradFi adjusts to DeFi: users make it clear which core principles are indispensable, and TradFi adopts the right mechanisms to let users own their assets and not to depend on one central entity. I vote option 2. We have the technology to make it happen.

1/ Honored to be carrying the torch today for @ethereum's 10 year anniversary celebration! If you'll indulge me for a few tweets, I'd like to talk about my own personal journey in the Ethereum ecosystem :)

Thrilled to finally share what I've been building: @sharpbytexyz SharpByte is a crypto-native fund laser-focused on the future of yield. We combine onchain alpha with offchain edge to deliver stable, asymmetric returns across market cycles. Glad to be building this with my advisor, @bizyugo

You shouldn’t have to pay to use your own money. We’re banning surcharges on debit, credit and eftpos payments.

Many people who claim they don't care much about money end up becoming a financial burden on those around them, whilst many people who unapologetically admit they want to be rich (and who are often accused of being selfish) actually end up supporting a lot of people around them. Some people want to look like they are good people, some others don't care about what others think about them and are actually good people.

“I hear you, <…>” is usually a response when someone wants to pacify you and shove their agenda
