They used to hang bankers for printing fake paper, now they call it monetary policy.

vitalik quietly made 2 blog posts about how TEE can be a part of the eth roadmap, but afaict no one is talking about this - TEEs as mostly-untrusted multiprover for scaling L2 ethereum-magicians.org/t/a-simple-l2-… - TEEs for privacy in RPCs ethereum-magicians.org/t/a-maximally-…
So much this. When you have zero knowledge verifiability, you don’t need distributed consensus. In fact, I trust math far more than potentially colluding humans.
The final boss of crypto isn't decentralization. It's verifiability. Decentralization is just one way to get verifiability. Verifiability though is a higher-order requirement. ZK is another way to achieve verifiability -- verifiability at a stronger level.
Will Bitcoin's cryptography ever be vulnerable to quantum attack? Of course, all systems using RSA and elliptic curve cryptography will be, but you can't hack an ideology. @NIST has published the PQ schemes, Bitcoin (alongside industry) will upgrade, it will be another Y2K…

Great work @gordonliao and team at @circle research.
🧵 New paper: "Transaction Proximity: A Graph-Based Approach to Blockchain Fraud Prevention" Blockchain exploits have cost billions in losses a year, and current solutions are broken. We propose a middle ground solution that shows strong empirical promise👇 1/
I learned so much about Bitcoin at the Bitcoin 2025 conference. Here is a summary of what I learned. #stablecoin
Here's a reminder that no one actually cares about privacy. You gotta give the people something they want that has privacy built-in and they don't even know it.
