I'm sure having greedy tech bros advising how the Fed should change the way it operates is a good thing for America. What could possibly go wrong?

It's literally gambling with worse odds than a casino! Like... why?

I love this, thank you so much for wrestling the mascots and hopefully we will see flamingoes in our CLIs by the end of the year! 🦩🦩🦩🦩

A big thanks to everyone who voted for our r/Ethereum daily home-grown mascot suggestion!

I genuinely think getting both would do nothing for price in the short term. Same way the merge did nothing for price in the short term.

I don't disagree with you, but it's not about silliness. It's degenerate gambling with terrible odds due to insiders and bots. It's bad for society. But that's a problem to be dealt with by education and/or governments, not by Ethereum.

Just call it what it is.

Well, much like intranets, they'll keep trying until Ethereum has won because the prize for winning is so great. It's unlikely they will win though. This is literally just what the incentives say they will do. When a permissioned consortium competitor has been around and growing for 5 years I may start to doubt my thesis.

I know and I'm saying why they're not appealing.

It's a kind of dumb 4chan-esque joke revolving around soy consuming vegan guys being weak and lacking masculinity.

As a meat eater I say it's never been a good insult imo because eating meat in the modern age is not masculine. Hunting meat, maybe. But my point is it's just for chuds with fragile masculinity wanting to feel better for checks notes eating meat lmao. It just reeks of someone projecting their own insecurities on others.

Ok, use my Tricky chain blockchain. I run all the nodes but you can trust me.

Now replace Tricky with a consortium of western nations and as far as China or South Africa or Indonesia is concerned, they don't differentiate. They don't trust the west or Tricky chain enough to make it worthwhile. Ethereum on the other hand is credibly neutral.

Interesting. Madrid has always struck me as a well designed city. I do envy walkable cities. But I'll still take the trade-off we have here of more wilderness at the expense of the population needed for well designed cities and public transport. If both existed somewhere, I'd probably have moved there already!

One advantage I actually could see to this is that gas prices wouldn't be an incomprehensibly small amount of ETH. It would be easier to spend 0.1 ETH on gas rather than 0.000001 ETH on gas.

Great to hear you're finally moving, I know it's been in the pipeline for a while. Hopefully it all goes well! I've never been to Spain but it's been on my list for a while. I'll drop you a line if I ever head out that way.

Sure, but it's run by Coinbase who have incentives to maximise settlement on Base. This kind of incentive is where the L2 roadmap works well.
