    I find it incredible that Vitalik, as a founder of Ethereum, only received around ~553k ether (~0.7% of the total supply) and overtime his share was diluted to ~0.47% due to the block subsidy. How many founders only takes <1% share of their venture? I can't think of any.

    Crypto has a talent shortage that money can't fix. Over the coming 3-4 months, I am planning to launch a free 8 week course on cryptocurrencies with a special focus on layer-2 protocols. Hopefully help towards the mass-exodus of web2 into web3 companies.

    Is it just me... ...or does the American government consider DeFi and Ethereum a greater threat to the financial system than Bitcoin?

    Ethereum (and the EF) provided the time, space, and money for the community to learn how to scale blockchain systems. It'll soon be time for Rollups to take care of Ethereum and support the next set of innovations that brings DeFi to the mainstream audience. 🔷🤝🔴💙🌠🟪

    Linux powers 90%+ of the web. Why? It is permissionless and open source. Anyone can contribute, download, install and run. Cryptocurrencies is on the exact same path, except it'll power 90%+ of the global and open source financial system. We are just 1 generation away.

    Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem held up without any hiccups. There is no other financial platform that can survive across the board 50% drops without human intervention. Good job everyone. You have built something that really works better than the classical system. Still bullish.
