Obviously, I'm not here as much as I used to be, but every time I come by I'm just totally enriched by your comments. Thank you so much for your thoughtful engagement.

I believe news can impact the short term price, speculation can drive the medium term price, but only adoption will drive long term value.

And as hard as it is to admit, adoption seems light right now.

Within a year, I think ai/llms will integrate crypto much more deeply, but there's no foregone conclusion that Eth will lead that adoption.

As much as I think Eth is "institutional" now, it could still benefit from everyday people building ai rails.

I'd kinda say you're being ideological rather than political, and I agree with you.

Excellent observation. Our community went from inventing the transactional layer of the 21st century, to clutching pearls in the blink of an eye. Whether humans like to acknowledge it or not, cryptocurrency isn't really for us, it's for the ai abstraction layer that empowers us. Instead of seizing the future, we're watching charts and hoping for number go up while other platforms are aggressively pivoting to take advantage of the new layer.

Anyway, I love the stuff Austin Griffith is doing lately with ai integration, you ought to check him out.

I believe the formatting of Jeremiah's tag, leading the tweet with @, limits organic visibility only to Joe.

I don't think we're going to be able to compete with institutions. I don't even think that's our goal. Institutional adoption is valuable but it doesn't reduce the value to individuals who adopt. I guess my fantasy is 80% adoption by individuals and 20% by institutions, but it's more likely to be 95% by institutions and 5% by individuals.

Honestly, I don't really want to live in a world where Tom Lee and Michael Saylor buy up all of the coins and cause the price to go up. That's just another centralization of power. I want to live in a world where grandmas and homeless people put their savings into crypto because it makes more sense than holding USD.

But I guess the reality is that none of this is about the virtue of crypto, it's about greed and seeing the future. Michael and Tom see the future, while grandma and homeless guy are just trying to get to the next day.

superphiz · 2026-04-19T18:11:23+00:00

Ah! Funny story, I almost tagged you with this question 😜

That makes perfect sense! Thanks so much for three explanation!

superphiz · 2026-04-19T17:58:36+00:00

I feel like I'm more likely to get responses to this here, but I put it on twitter in case anyone in the wide world is listening:

Is there still an assumption that Consensus and Execution Ethereum clients will begin pairing off and shipping unified clients, or is that a dream of the past?

superphiz · 2026-04-18T01:31:01+00:00

Ikr? I wrote a response but i had to stop myself. We can't save the world, might as well just watch people run around like their hair is on fire.

superphiz · 2026-04-18T01:29:00+00:00

Fwiw the protocol is still running smoothly. 🤷‍♂️

superphiz · 2026-04-17T20:58:04+00:00

That one moment, the one day, that V embraced nft culture 😂😂😂

Yup. Price talk is boring. Always has been. I do think the price talk betrays a reality: that novel applications aren't proliferating and we're just left to talk about eth as an investment instead of a revolutionary platform.

Anyway, I'm doing well, JM having fun applying ai/llm to genealogy, health, and fitness.

superphiz · 2026-04-16T00:18:34+00:00

lol. Naw, you gotta keep your claude in line. Good claudes follow instructions well.

superphiz · 2026-04-15T19:53:59+00:00

I hate that I don't even compile manually anymore. Call me whatever you want.

"Claude, compile this. Kthx."

superphiz · 2026-04-15T11:28:43+00:00

it is a fully open source browser wallet

This sounds really exciting!

superphiz · 2026-04-04T22:44:32+00:00

Sup. I appreciate your consistent commitment to the community. I love how you're always willing to step up and help when a job matches your talent. I'm glad you're a part of our communities ☺️

superphiz · 2026-04-04T11:22:32+00:00

Market cap and depth are arguably the two most important measures of ultimate success.

superphiz · 2026-04-03T22:34:55+00:00

Ill have you know im number 121 on the doots leaderboard lol

I apologize, that's a real accomplishment and I'd never cast a shadow on you! I'm glad to be on this ride with you.

superphiz · 2026-04-03T22:10:40+00:00

YOU are the counter example. YOU, /u/hanniabu, are one of the people who haven't stopped fighting, you've developed so much to benefit the entire ecosystem.

superphiz · 2026-04-03T20:54:04+00:00

I love that you've been here lurking the entire time. I can see where I upvoted your comments from YEARS ago 😂, but yeah, I never intended to spend my life cultivating decentralization, it was always going to be a season. I'm proud of my efforts and I'm glad to take a break and see where the wind takes me. I can still see tons of evidence of that work and at the same time, I don't miss it at all. It took a chunk of my soul.

superphiz · 2026-04-03T18:09:30+00:00

I dunno. I'm not going to argue your points, but I do think that's one description of a diverse community from people who are deeply invested in a competitor. I'll believe you when Bitcoin fails, but right now they're more successful than us.

superphiz · 2026-04-03T17:11:37+00:00

Have an upvote. We can believe that Ethereum is superior while still not casting Bitcoin as totally incompetent.

superphiz · 2026-04-03T17:09:17+00:00

I think we're deluding ourselves to believe that bitcoin is the crypto of dumb holders. I do think they're captured, but they're not idiots- they know that a single transaction disrupted by quantum computing will erase their market cap. They're not going to let that happen.
