Danny Ryan on why Wall Street cares about decentralization Etherealize co-founder and a key architect behind Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake is asked if Wall Street institutions care about “decentralization.” “That’s not the right word,” Danny replies. “They care about counterparty risk.” He explains: “They care about — in a...

Danny Ryan: Wall Street has flipped from terrified to use Ethereum to eager in the last 12 months “I’m a TradFi guy now — I talk to banks and financial institutions,” Etherealize co-founder and key architect behind Ethereum’s “Merge” upgrade Danny Ryan jokes. Danny was surprised to learn that banks understood decentralization and used terms like “credible neutrality.” He explains: “Their lens of the world is counterparty risk and the reduction or elimination of it. And a decentralized and resilient platform represents that. So when these institutions are actually thinking about their business case and utilizing this technology — which they went from being terrified to utilize it to eager to utilize it over the last 12 months — they actually care about Ethereum’s values. They care about the things we’ve been ensuring exists for the past decade because they don’t want a counterparty.” Source: Bankless (Jul 2025)

Danny Ryan explains why Wall Street Institutions are betting on Ethereum “You don’t lose your job for betting on Ethereum. It’s the thing that has been around for 10 years. If they have internal teams and expertise, they have EVM and Solidity teams. It has 100% uptime. In terms of a programmable blockchain, it has the only compelling narrative of: No one controls it; No one can censor me; I don’t take on counterparty risk when using this as base infrastructure.” The co-founder and President of Etherealize continues: “When we’re talking about fundamentally upgrading financial markets and financial infrastructure, [Ethereum] is kind of the only game in town.”

EXCLUSIVE – “WALL STREET DOESN’T CARE ABOUT SPEED – THEY WANT ETH” Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com: “The crypto community abandoned Ethereum… they thought faster was better – that’s why Solana and Sui took off. But Wall Street wants 100% uptime, not speed – they can build on layer twos. ETH’s been dead in price for 5 years, and that’s why people stopped caring. But this year is galvanizing the community again. If ETH stays above 4,800, we could see a really big cycle.”

Dear AfiaTvOfficial, you guys are sleeping on the Agbero Documentary in Onitsha. I am inside the market, Onitsha Main Market, Haruna Street to be precise, and this is what is going on, like right now. Who are these guys working for if not Anambra State Government? Who has the right to collect revenue if not empowered by Government? Are they hiding, or did they cover theory face? Are they in a rush so they can run away if anything happens? Do you see they are a common face? I don't want to risk my life, reason I have to hide and take these videos, but this is to tell the whole world that Anambra State Government is lying. They boldly empowered touts, and they are 100% aware of their activities. As it is happening in Haruna Street, so is it happening in all major streets in Onitsha. They work for the man in 3rd frame, who in turn work for Anambra State Government.

Arthur Hayes: DeFi Needing Regulatory Approval Signals Decentralization Has Failed On June 23, 2026, BitMEX Co-founder Arthur Hayes Arthur Hayes stated in an interview with the New Era Finance podcast that if the development of DeFi needs a US regulator to pass an act like the Clarity Act, the mission of building decentralized systems has failed. Addressing the narrative of institutional capital entering the space, Hayes stated that traders and Wall Street institutions do not care about regulations; as long as there is money to be made, they will always find a way to trade and satisfy compliance. He added that the true value of crypto lies in building an alternate financial system for 8 billion people globally. He concluded that investors waiting for regulatory approval as a prerequisite should simply trade stocks instead.

The Onion Theory of Risk by Marc Andreessen: "I think the single biggest thing entrepreneurs are missing, both on fundraising and how they run their companies, is the relationship between risk and cash. The relationship between risk and raising cash, and then the relationship between risk and spending cash. So I've always been a fan of something that Andy Ratcliffe taught me years ago, which he called the onion theory of risk. Um, which basically is, you can think about a startup like on day one, um, as having every conceivable kind of risk, right? And you can basically just make a list of the risks. And so you've got, you know, founding team risk. You know, do the founders, are the founders gonna be able to work together? Do you have the right founders? You're gonna have product risk. You know, can you build a product? You'll have technical risk, right? Which is maybe you need a machine learning breakthrough or something to make it work. Are you gonna be able to do that? Um, you'll have, you know, launch risk. Will the launch go well? You'll have, you know, market acceptance risk. You'll have revenue risk. A big risk you get into in a lot of businesses that have a sales force is, can you actually sell the product for enough money to actually pay for the cost of sale? So you have the cost of sale risk. If you're a consumer product, you'll have a viral growth risk. Well, you get the thing of viral growth. And so, a startup at the very beginning is basically just this long list of risks. And then the way that I always think about running a startup is also the way I think about raising money, which is it's a process of peeling away layers of risk as you go. And so you raise seed money in order to peel away the first two or three risks. The founding team risk, the product risk, and maybe the initial launch risk. You raise the A round to peel away the next level of product risk. Maybe you peel away some recruiting risk because you get your full engineering team built. Maybe you peel away some customer risk because you get your first five beta customers. And so basically the way to think about it is you're peeling away risk as you go. You're peeling away risk by achieving milestones. And then as you achieve milestones, you're both making progress in your business, and you're justifying raising more capital. And so you come in, and you pitch somebody like us, and you say you're raising a B round. The best way to do that with us is you say, okay, I raised a seed round, I achieved these milestones, I eliminated these risks. I raised the A round, I achieved these milestones, and I eliminated these risks. Now I'm gonna raise a B round. Here are my milestones, here are my risks. And then by the time I go to raise a seed round, here's the state that I'll be in. And then you calibrate the amount of money that you raise to spend to the risks that you're pulling out of the business. And I go through all this, in a sense this sounds kind of obvious, but I go through all this because it's a systematic way to think about how the money gets raised and deployed. As compared to so much of what's happening, especially these days, which is just, my God, let me go raise as much money as I can. Let me go build the fancy offices, let me go hire as many people as I can, and just kind of hope for the best."

"Wall Street didn't like crypto for the same reason I didn't, until they realized they can make money off of it. Now Wall Street's making a fortune and all their customers are going broke" Peter Schiff on why Wall Street loves crypto now and who's paying for it "Wall Street didn't like crypto until they realized they can make money off of it. Once they started making money, they loved it. They're making a ton of fees on the ETFs. But you know who they made the most money from? Saylor and Strategy. All these ATM sales of Strategy stock, all the issuing of these securities, Wall Street got so much in banking fees" "Look at David Bailey's Nakamoto, it's now down like 99%, but the banks made a lot of money bringing it public. The investors got killed. The average Bitcoin ETF buyer has lost money" "Wall Street's making a fortune off it. They're booking all the bets, raking in everything. But the investors are losing.

WEN MARKETING? "The tech is great, but wen marketing?" That's one of the most common pieces of critical feedback we get but if you know anything about us, you know that we love critical feedback because it helps us understand how we can make more rapid progress on our mission to accelerate decentralization through accessibility. We’ve heard your feedback which is why we’ve been working hard on a marketing campaign that we’re really very, very excited about because it will dramatically expand awareness of Koinos while staying true to our roots and our values. The objective guiding the campaign is clear, ambitious, and achievable: we’re going to onboard 20 new dApps and 100,000 users in 6 months. It’s a holistic plan that involves targeted developer outreach, community engagement, promotional activities, challenges, and more. Koinos has a totally unique backstory which requires an equally unique marketing campaign that calls upon our most valuable resource: You, the Koinos Community. This campaign isn't just about reaching our goals; it's about exposing the world to this amazing community and movement to make decentralized applications accessible to all. With Koinos a developer can build a successful blockchain-based application in just ONE WEEK, at practically NO COST. That means developers have virtually no RISK when they build on Koinos. And Koinos is equally low risk for users who don’t even need to acquire tokens before using applications which simultaneously delivers the kind of frictionless user experience that allows applications to GO VIRAL. By DERISKING both development and usage, Koinos unblocks adoption and creates the opportunity for exponential growth. In short, Koinos has the potential to transform the world by mainstreaming decentralization and we want to expose as many developers to this opportunity as possible. In the coming days and weeks, we will reveal more details about the campaign and how you can get involved, whether you’re a dApp developer or an advocate for decentralization. So stay tuned and be sure to follow us on twitter KoinosGroup 🔮 and to learn more about #Koinos, go to

For the last decade, the media, Democrats, and Never Trump Republicans have denounced Trump as a tool of the rich and of Wall Street. Trump’s populism was fake, they said. He doesn’t really care about the working class. He just cares about himself and his Wall Street buddies. Trump’s tariffs and Wall Street’s reaction to them prove that all of that was a lie, says Batya Ungar-Sargon, the author of two important recent books, one about the media (Bad News) and the other about the working class (Second Class). “Liberation Day should go down in history as the day that finally put to bed the myth that Donald Trump only cares about the rich,” she said in a new podcast with me today. “It's the exact opposite. He is waging class warfare on Wall Street for the sake of the American working class. And to punish him, Wall Street is literally just shorting him. They're shorting his agenda. They are betting against America, they are betting against the president because they cannot stand the idea that there is a person with power in America was not on his knees in front of Wall Street asking them, ‘And what would you like next?’ the way both parties have been doing for 60 years.” The media has been even worse. “Our economic policy for the last 60 years was put in place by people who are too lazy to get out from behind their laptops,” she said. “They imagine that nobody would want to work in a factory because they would rather die than work in a factory. They would rather die than watch their own children work in a factor or clean their own toilets. So they imagine that no one would want to do these things. And so they shipped manufacturing overseas and imported a slave caste.” Over half of Americans have money in the stock market, and so we shouldn’t discount the pain many people are feeling right now or the possibility that Trump’s tariffs could backfire, cause a recession, and lower living standards. But, as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has noted, “The top 10% of Americans own 88% of the stock market. The next 40% owns 12% of the stock market. The bottom 50% has debt. They have credit card bills. They rent their homes. They have auto loans. And we've got to give them some relief.” The problem isn’t just the inequality. It’s the lack of solidarity. The wealthiest Americans don’t seem to care about the poorest. “Last year,” noted Bessent, “the summer of 2024, Americans took more European vacations than they had in history. [And] Summer of 2024, more Americans were using food banks than ever in history.” Creating more purchasing power for the poorest Americans would be good for growth, not bad, argue tariff supporters, including Bessent, Oren Cass, and Ungar-Sargon. “The top 10% now control over 60% of our GDP. They are not the ideal consumer for the central components of the American dream: housing, healthcare, education, and retirement. They are the only consumers who can afford those things. So the price for those items is tagged to their incomes.” Bessent says something similar. “I don't think the bottom 50% of Americans are losers, I think the system hasn't worked for them. I think that they are winners. It's just a bad system. So we are going to fix the system. They want good jobs. They want their kids to do better than they do. They want to own a home. They want to pay down their debt. This isn't hard. We can do this in the next four years.” And bringing a significant amount of manufacturing back to the United States is a national security imperative recognized by Republicans and Democrats. “We literally rely on our greatest adversary for the tools that we would need to fight it should it come to that,” said Batya-Sargon. “They exported a deadly pandemic, and we relied on them to produce the vaccines, the pharmaceuticals, and the protective gear we needed to combat it. This is like a South Park episode only without the humor. It's so obviously absurd and yet nobody had the guts to do anything about this.” Please subscribe now to support Public's award-winning reporting, read the rest of the article, and watch the full video!

GEN FLYNN: The National Security Strategy the President just signed off on is focused more globally externally than it is internally. — I do think one of the things it falls short on is the ideological stuff that’s going on here in the United States: the media manipulation, the idea of this Marxism and Neo-Marxism ideology that is definitely inside and has infiltrated into the institutions of our government. There’s not enough discussion about how the President of the United States, in this National Security Strategy which should be both foreign and domestic, has to deal with. We have many compromised oversight systems, we have a very complex election system and technologies. People in this country are still going, what the hell is going on? Why do I care about Europe? Why do I care about the Middle East? I need to care about my country right here and whether or not we have a free and fair election. General Mike Flynn

Buy the dips. ETH is in year one of fifty: "This is like 1971 because in 1971, the dollar went off the gold standard and everyone said I'll buy gold instead. But remember that dollars suddenly became a fiat and Wall Street innovated because they said now we have a dollar, let's make sure we can move the dollars efficiently. You don't need to move bars of gold to match the movement. So it created Wall Street, which came out of that single act in 1971. So now 2025, Project Crypto from the SEC and Genius Act is saying, Wall Street, take advantage of this new technology to make Wall Street a tech industry. But they're all choosing to do it or the majority are choosing to do it on Ethereum. Ethereum is a smart contract platform, it has what they call EVMs, Ethereum virtual machines. So you can do basically a lot of smart programs and contracts. That's where Robinhood is doing their stable coins, the tokenized products."- Tom Lee H/T: Altcoin Daily

But remember that dollars suddenly became a fiat and Wall Street innovated because they said now we have a dollar, let's make sure we can move the dollars efficiently. You don't need to move bars of gold to match the movement. So it created Wall Street, which came out of that single act in 1971. So now 2025, Project Crypto from the SEC and Genius Act is saying, Wall Street, take advantage of this new technology to make Wall Street a tech industry. But they're all choosing to do it or the majority are choosing to do it on Ethereum. Ethereum is a smart contract platform, it has what they call EVMs, Ethereum virtual machines. So you can do basically a lot of smart programs and contracts. That's where Robinhood is doing their stable coins, the tokenized products."- Tom Lee H/T: Altcoin Daily

WALL STREET WILL NEVER CONTROL BITCOIN 👀 Caitlin Long says #Bitcoin won’t be financialized the way gold was -- and the reason is ownership. Gold was always stored in banks & central banks. Bitcoin isn’t. She says roughly ~70% of $BTC is held by long-term holders, not institutions, and only a small portion trades daily. That supply isn’t there to “bail out” Wall Street. Bitcoin is voluntary, permissionless, and can move outside the financial system entirely -- even without the internet. Wall Street can participate, but it can’t control the supply. That’s the difference.

Tom Lee: Wall Street Is Choosing Ethereum as the Underlying Layer In an interview with The Master Investor Podcast with Wilfred Frost on January 20, Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee said that despite long-term pressure on the ETH/BTC ratio, the tokenization trend is prompting Wall Street to deploy stablecoins, money market funds, and credit assets on Ethereum. As institutions such as JPMorgan and BlackRock begin using it in practice, Ethereum is emerging as a key infrastructure for traditional finance’s entry into blockchain. Source:

Ella Emhoff, stepdaughter of former Vice President Kamala Harris, from 16 December last year: "...I'm just sitting here crocheting, waiting for a friend, and I was just listening to this podcast that The Wall Street Journal put out about SSRIs and anti-anxiety meds and kind of the over-prescription of them in America. "And it was making me think a lot because I've been on SSRIs for over a decade, almost fifteen years probably, and they were calling out the lack of research on long-term use of these things. "They were calling out the lack of information that doctors give about coming off of these meds and kind of the psychological effects they can have. "And it really got me thinking how little I've thought about that, naively, obviously. "But I've noticed that every time I've gone off of it for a week or missed it or for whatever reason, like, it has been really hard for me, and I've had a really hard time. "And I guess this is just something I was wondering if you guys have thought about or relate to or kind of consider when you're thinking about going on meds like that. "Because I don't know if this is something that I feel like is being talked about enough because I feel like so many of us are on these meds, and this is, like, actually happening. "Like, people get off of them, and they kind of break down, and it can be really bad. So yeah, I guess I just want your general thoughts."

Responding to a comment about vaginal atrophy in transgender female to male and why biology matters when you choose the path of transition. Testosterone will create problems and if you do not understand this how are you making informed consent as well how can a child make these choices when they have barely lived life. Keep calling me transphobic all you want you just prove how toxic and off the wall the “ trans” community has become… GENDER AFFIRMING CARE IS NOT CARE

This is how I see left wing Scousers - What irritates me more than anything about them is they have the arrogance to tell people on a daily basis “Scousers are left wing” and call everyone a Tory or a wool who disagrees with them. Like they can speak for all of us. Like only they love this city and we don’t. Let me tell you something about these gang of gobshites. If you ever want to at what multiculturalism does to a city. Look at London. I have always wanted multiculturalism to work. But it’s hard to ignore the damage it does. It is ok im small manageable numbers like we have always had. But when it grows out of control you get….. London. These gang of shithouses who love Liverpool more than anyone and who are more Scouse than anyone and speak for all of us are literally advocating for Liverpool to be slowly transformed into a microcosm of the hellhole that is our capital. They are actively pushing for it. Most of them don’t even have children themselves. And that’s the world they want your children to grow up in. A replica of London in every major city. That’s how much they care about Liverpool. They want it to become the next London. If everything was all sweet and rosey down there I could understand their logic. But it isn’t. And over my dead body I will stand silent while these traitors enable our government to destroy the culture snd good harmony of our city. Absolutely disgusting. They do not speak for us. Even though they think that they can and often try to. Im going to start sharing the odd video of what is happening down in our capital so you can see what they are trying to do to our city. So we can all see the world they are pushing for. “Liverpool is a tolerant city” they always say which is true. But at the same time. We aren’t dickheads. And there is a limit to how nice we are. And this is the last city yiu want to piss off. Because if you piss us off, we bite back harder than anyone. When the Revolution begins. It will be this city that starts it. The left wingers think that because they are a gang of pushovers that the rest of us are too. Think again!

Marc Andreessen explains the “Onion Theory of Risk” “I think the single-biggest thing entrepreneurs are missing — both on fundraising and how they run their companies — is the relationship between risk and cash. I’ve always been a fan of something Andy Rachleff taught me years ago. He calls it the ‘Onion Theory of Risk.’” You can think of a day 1 startup as having every conceivable kind of risk: founding team risk, product risk, technical risk, market acceptance risk, revenue risk, cost of sales risk, viral growth risk, etc. A startup is basically just a long list of risks, and as Marc explains: "The way I think about running a startup is the way I think about raising money. It's a process of peeling away layers of risk as you go." You raise seed money to peel away the first two or three risks (e.g. founding team risk, product risk, initial launch risk). You raise the Series A round to peel away the next layer of risks (e.g. recruiting risk, customer risk, revenue risk, cost of sales risk) And so on. Basically, you're peeling away risk as you're achieving milestones. And as you achieve milestones, you're both: making progress on your business and justifying raising more capital. So in terms of fundraising, you should be calibrating the amount money you're raising to the risks you need to pull out of your business for you to raise your next round. For example, if you're raising your Series A round, the best way to do that is to say to investors: "I raised a seed round then achieved ____ milestones and eliminated ____ risks. Now I'm going to raise $ X for the Series A to achieve ____ milestones and eliminate ____ risks. This will get the company to ____ state for the Series B round. " This seems fairly obvious, but as Marc points out, it's a much more systematic way of going about things versus just raising as much money as possible, renting fancy offices, and hiring as many people as you can to grow as fast as you can. The more money you raise, the more you dilute your ownership stake in your business so it pays to be thoughtful. Raise the capital you will need to achieve the milestones and eliminate the risks required for your next financing round. It also probably makes sense to give yourself some margin as safety because things never go exactly as planned in startup land. Video source: Y Combinator (2014)
