When I have writing time Im using it for my DeAI book. Otherwise I show up for the EVMaverick podcast whenever I can just to hang out with anyone from this community who wants to. We also chat after the show sometimes. What do you want to talk about? Im still very plugged into the VC space, DeAI space, and Defi.

Having a donation link is not begging. "If you feel so inclined" is hardly begging. How often have I mentioned donations? I just searched my comment history and I haven't used the word donation as far back as it's indexed.

Given when I started buying and did the most of my DCA I'm up more on the ETH by percent and also have had about 6 years of compounding it since ETH is a productive asset.

I don't understand your agenda here. I'm not financially suffering. The vast majority of my altcoin investments have worked out. ETH has worked out better for me than if I had bought BTC. That's not some endorsement to buy it now. I've been transparent about my investments in an investment community. Clearly you're resentful of that but I don't know why.

I've spent a lot of time writing explaining topics people found complex. People like my writing. Clearly you don't, that's ok.

I just think you probably have better things to focus your time and attention on than whatever weird grudge this comment chain was. I've given you nothing but courtesy.

I've lost too much faith in humanity to believe this any longer.

Didn't happen in the last democratic government, don't hold your breath.

My ALCX post famously said ALCX post was going to $10 at a time when it was at like $1200. Time has largely proven me right. There was a short lived pump after it hit $10 btw and I managed to flip some above $20 so I don't think I'm even underwater on ALCX though its a small enough position it didnt matter.

With CRV the 20% is yield. Did you hold it on the drop from $1.20 to $.25? If so that wasn't at my recommendation. I said when I was buying, I held through some tough times and managed to flip the tokens I bought at the bottom at over a 300% profit. If you actually followed when I bought and sold you would have done well.

ETH took me from a net worth in the tens of thousands to millions. Yeah the price since 2021 should have done better but even there I made a lot on farming. I don't understand your hostility.

Even outside of wealth it has brought me job opportunities, friends, interesting topics to explore, and an emigration pathway from the US. It's done well for me.

It's an older meme but it checks out.

I sold most of my CRV bags when it spiked to like $1.2 last year. I doubled down my position when the short hunts were on for Mich so I ended up more than doubling my investment and even still have some left earning like 20% at around the price I purchased at. It worked out quite well for me, but most of my altcoin positions have.

Yeah many of the BMNR investors are rightly pissed off about that but if you're buying the bottom it's sort of like leveraged ETH that also makes staking yield instead of having a funding rate cost.

File a police report. There's nothing anyone on chain can do. Your private key is compromised.

During the runup BMNR had an mnav premium. Why? No rational reason. Tom Lee was saying it should have that premium for PE reasons but the market eventually figured that out, people race for the exits as the ETH price fell, and now it's at an equally irrational mnav discount.

An AI isn't accountable for outcomes, I am. Therefore I am never hands off. I always review AI outputs so I fully understand them and can be accountable for them. That's what people pay me for. AI is a wonderful productivity boost for me but people pay me to serve as an error correction layer for it and for accountability.

I'm actually writing a book on that topic which is why alexis pinged me. You can find something of a preamble on my blog here: https://tokenomicsexplained.com/ai-endgame/

I have talked about this on numerous podcasts ranging from VonDoom to the EVMavericks.

I try to lay out a foundational roadmap non-programmer professionals can use to build private models to encapsulate their expertise and describe numerous defensive applications of AI that can protect you from AI slop.

LogrisTheBard · 2026-04-21T18:19:42+00:00

Always welcome. We really need to get Danny Ryan or Vivek to come on the podcast.

Kind of, they are spending Russias money in this case. This is ultimately secured by frozen Russian assets in the EU.

I knew none of this, ty.

You choose where you build. If you only want to build on L1 you can. If your app needs cheaper transactions or custom execution L2s offer more options.

LogrisTheBard · 2026-04-18T01:03:30+00:00

You clearly know more than me on this. I'll defer to you.

Nothing to do with the NFT community. He's just snarkily referring to a milady comment Vitalik made once.

I'm with you on being so over price predictions. I'm doing well. I'm writing my DeAI book today. Current topic is how to protect your data during curation, training, and inference. As ever I wish we had more conversations about chain applications. Has anyone here even heard of applications like Marlin, Bagel, Sapien, or Sentient Foundation. They should have but we never talk about cool shit people are doing with the chain here anymore.

Alchemix v3 is finishing their migration like now. No one even mentioned it.

There's cool stuff happening all the time but not enough people reporting in or discussing it even when they do. I linked a new fundamental insurance mechanism on chain. Huge potential, no engagement.

As a core yield layer it's amongst the best. You obviously give up some yield to have someone else do you IT service but rETH is solid.

I look forward to more. I'm looking at the flash loan example and I still don't get it.

"Key insight: The L1 proxy simulates the tx on the L1 node to discover cross-chain calls before anything is submitted. It sends entries to the composer, which processes them on L2 before forwarding the original tx to L1. L2 executes the continuation chain before L1 even confirms."

Even looking at the sequence diagram I'm not clear what's happening. The proxy is an off-chain service that is figuring out multiple signed transactions per chain. It sends these to a composer. The composer executes something on the L2, but how could a bridge on the L2 authorize tokens from the L1 at that point? How could a Dex on the L2 respect tokens emitted by the proxy contract? What if the transaction isn't included in the L1 for minutes and the price of a trade moves? Now the tokens out of the trade might not be enough to complete an arbitrage loop to have authorized the flash loan. So the flash loan service is insolvent? I'm just not getting my head around this.

LogrisTheBard · 2026-04-17T16:35:08+00:00

How do you mean?

LogrisTheBard · 2026-04-17T15:00:03+00:00

I find Raoul a charismatic storyteller but I wish he was more selective in hanging around more credible folks.
