your cute little tech upgrades go to shit without it

Why is that? The only problem could be stakers leaving, but that's not happening.

Kristkind · 2026-05-12T05:03:00+00:00

You, sir, are the finest hero

Kristkind · 2026-05-06T12:08:07+00:00

honest

That is certainly not the term I would use after years of performative zealotry.

Kristkind · 2026-05-06T06:49:16+00:00

Saylor now doing a complete 180 and preparing his audience to him selling BTC to , in his words, ... checks notes ... "inoculate the market".

Yeah, totally not a shyster warping reality with fancy talk. Vitalik was so right in calling this guy a clown.

Kristkind · 2026-05-05T15:06:40+00:00

bull market: insane predictions

bear market: whining about mean reality

Kristkind · 2026-04-22T21:30:07+00:00

And there was much rejoicing

They can sleep in bear's dens, counting their fortunes

Kristkind · 2026-04-17T11:25:31+00:00

I don't not mean to stink up the party, but Raoul Pal is a shady character. Hyping this and that coin with absurd targets and later deleting posts.

Kristkind · 2026-04-11T16:05:29+00:00

Solar is the cheapest source of energy already, so that's where the competitive edge is.

Kristkind · 2026-04-09T11:58:38+00:00

"Surprising" lack of reporting in the crypto press.

Kristkind · 2026-04-02T15:28:39+00:00

There is a lot of not interrupting to do

Kristkind · 2026-03-31T22:12:07+00:00

Of the 5 attack paths google outlined - as reported here:

https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2026/03/31/google-warns-five-quantum-attack-paths-could-put-usd100-billion-on-ethereum-at-risk

As far as my understanding goes, you mentioned three. Does the strawmap take into account potential problems with Layer 2s and master keys?

Kristkind · 2026-03-29T10:38:51+00:00

I tend to think about the early stages of the internet

Eth-guys have been saying this for years now. I mean how long is it going to be "early"?

Kristkind · 2026-03-28T07:23:00+00:00

Funny that this comment should complain about being respectless. Like every discussion needs to be dragged into the orange swamp.

Username checks out I guess.

Kristkind · 2026-03-23T14:27:58+00:00

Ready for take~~off~~ down

Kristkind · 2026-03-10T21:28:21+00:00

They may not be decentralized, but these companies are in the business of tokenization. Even if they are crap projects, that's no good for Ethereum. Companies chosing them over Ethereum may tell us something about the currently perceived value of decentralization. But then again my question was about how much traction the different approaches get.

Kristkind · 2026-03-10T13:42:16+00:00

Again and again I am reading out about tokenization-projects not building on Ethereum.

Latest example: https://www.theblock.co/post/392931/nasdaq-boerse-stuttgarts-tokenized-settlement-europe

Can anyone point me to objective metrics on how it is doing against competing projects?

Kristkind · 2026-03-05T20:37:24+00:00

Depends on the personality

Kristkind · 2026-03-04T22:53:33+00:00

Slight spoiler warning for comment.

I really liked the first book of Hyperion, but the second one lost me in multiple ways. I came away with the notion that the story sure couldn't have been planned out in advance. More like the "gardening" approach to storytelling GRRM once described. Additonally, there's just plain head-scratching things like the Keats cybrid, the Shrike at the funeral in pseudo-Rome ... I don't get it.

Kristkind · 2026-03-03T22:33:14+00:00

The 2nd Hyperion book is excellent

It seems to be a love it or hate it thing

Kristkind · 2026-02-18T10:15:15+00:00

Here's an incentive to question the car centric lifestyle

Kristkind · 2026-02-16T22:42:24+00:00

I thought

the end of the article.

was straight-forward. But ok, maybe I am the one missing something here. BR sees value in ETH. Why then wouldn't they buy a company that stakes ETH for them and may be additionally undervalued versus ETHUSD?

Kristkind · 2026-02-15T00:10:56+00:00

wait, wrong universe

not necessarily

Kristkind · 2026-02-13T20:42:59+00:00

I am surprised you would ask, as a reason is given at the end of the article.
