You can be debanked. You can have the terms changed on you. On Ethereum ethereum:native, neither is possible. Joseph Chalom, who led digital assets at BlackRock, boils the entire decentralization case down to that. No CEO, no rule changes, no de-platforming. He calls it the better analogy for the future than any cooperative or clearinghouse.

Now the attacker is an AI with more compute than your defense, and the only real answer is to mathematically prove the code does what it says. Illia (root.near) (🇺🇦, ⋈) on the paradigm shift, and why NEAR Protocol is building its roadmap around proof.

Why New Stealth QE Will Trigger The Biggest Digital Assets Boom Yet w/Maelstrom CIO Arthur Hayes Arthur Hayes joins us for a session to understand the underlying economic forces leading to a massive digital assets bull market in the coming months and years. The money printer is about to flip back on and Arthur Hayes says the Euro/Yen exchange rate is the tell everyone's missing. He gets into why Japan's forced unwinding of its massive carry trade, combined with France's brewing bond market crisis, all but guarantees a faster pace of dollar liquidity creation. He also makes the case that AI's unit economics problem becomes the government's next excuse to print more fueling the fiat debasement thesis further.

Formal verification became feasible. That was step one. NEAR Protocol just made it 250x cheaper. $111 versus $20,000. That's NEAR's first-place result on Putnam Bench against the next best submission. Proving code isn't useful until it's cheap. Alex Skidanov (alex.near) on the benchmark NEAR just topped.

Rob (Robbie Klages) says the more bearish everyone gets on ethereum:native, the more bullish he becomes: "Every dinner in New York last week, every meeting today, everyone is so bearish ETH." "They're ready for it to be dethroned as the number-two asset. And the more bearish takes I hear, the more bullish I get." "The barbell, hard money on one side, the revenue meta on the other, has outperformed for six months. But it's crowded now." "There are assets that aren't crowded, contrarian, poised for reflexive upside. I think ETH is in that spot." "Especially with capital flowing out of AI into digital assets, and we're still early in that trend."

Bloomberg says the SEC has major crypto plans coming. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan on what they actually are, and why they're bigger than people think: "This is the bypass road on the CLARITY Act." "CLARITY is legislation, slow. The SEC can act through regulation. In about a week, we expect the first draft of the Reg Crypto rules." "They're intended to let new projects raise capital without triggering SEC registration, then evolve into a centralized platform." "That's a dream we've had since 2018 and the ICO boom, but now with regulatory teeth and certainty." "People are dramatically underestimating the entrepreneurial energy this creates."

"Whereas the Mr. Beast ecosystem doesn't have that incentive today; it's almost litigious in some respects to build off a creator's IP." "There's an incentive alignment to grow the IP and the creator branding." "Platforms are going to have to evolve in terms of the value they give back to their creators." "They're going to give the incumbents a run for their money."
