its been pretty crazy watching this channel grow over the past 3 weeks - followers, subs and views have been sky rocketing… so I just wanna say thank you to everyone that’s listened, provides feedback and just generally sends good vibes our goal is to be dialled into all…
The @OpenAI ChatGPT Agent is here. With one release, ChatGPT can now do your: -Shopping -Travel planning -Personal admin ^^^ and everything else you can do on a browser. But is it living up to the hype? @Josh_Kale and @cryptopunk7213 break it down on the AI Rollup 👇
1/ Tokenholders are underserved. Access to Ethereum data is fragmented. Metrics are inconsistent and unreliable. Noise, hype, and analyst opinion cloud analysis. We fixed that with The ETH Report. 65 pages of standardized, no-spin data. Just fundamentals, core KPIs, and…
Privacy is normal -- @BanklessHQ get it Do you?

To celebrate @ethereum's 10 year anniversary, we are bearing the torch in honour of Roman and Alexey who represent the importance of privacy and developer freedom.
An update from Roman Storm's trial. DOJ had years to prepare for this, and so far their case is basically "crypto is bad!" Their first witness had literally nothing to do with Roman or Tornado Cash. DOJ is trying to imprison a DeFi developer and this is the best they can do?
This is the problem when the DOJ decides to get creative with a legal theory on something like 18 USC 1960 - the DOJ shoots an arrow and then paints the target around it, trying to fill in shoddy evidence after the fact. The real tragedy is that the accused is always starting…
🐋 DEFCON ADA Cardano whale with 6M $ADA voting power declared war on @IOHK_Charles and IOG, accusing them of "obscene" spending & "years of non-delivery." The whale promised to automatically vote down all future IOG proposals & asked other delegators to join the revolt... 🧵
Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.
Been a big week for ETH. Pumped to chat about it!
In 20 minutes, we get to talk to @VivekVentures about what hes seeing in TradFi! Join in!
This. Whatever your views are on Tornado Cash or crypto generally, surely we can all agree that just because you are unwilling to let the government track every detail of your personal financial life does not mean you must be a criminal. And it is a sad day when the US government…
Day 1 of the Roman Storm trial is in the books, and perhaps we need to make something clear to the government: Normal 👏people 👏also 👏deserve 👏 financial👏 privacy👏 Privacy is NOT a crime.
I'll be at Devconnect in November and I'll definitely be attending this. The first Bankless Summit in Bangkok was one of the highest quality events I've ever been to. Highly recommend checking out the second one if you're gonna be in Argentina for Devconnect!
Get a taste of Ethereum's future at the 2nd Bankless Summit at @EFDevcon! Featuring speakers like... @drakefjustin (tbd) @dankrad @adietrichs @tkstanczak @arjunbhuptani @pumatheuma
The most important trial for cryptography & open source in the last 20 years just started this week. I hope you're paying attention. Roman Storm should not go to jail for creating open source privacy software. U.S. Gov prosecution thinks he should. Precedents will be set.
We record with @alexblania from @worldcoin today! Going to ask about - Worldchain stats. Real??? - Miniapps - what are they being used for? - Priority blockspace for humans - Where has World ID made the most impact? - WorldChain scaling roadmap - Next Gen Orb plans Anything…
If you want real institutional adoption then you need on chain privacy. If you want privacy you need to protect privacy developers.
We had @dwarkesh_sp on the show! Dwarkesh is the synthesis of the brilliant ideas he's teased out of his guests over the years Having the opportunity to turn those tables and ask him the questions with @RyanSAdams created a pretty special episode about all things AI. Tune in👇
