When I got into crypto this is what our “KOLs” were, and we damn sure didn’t call them fucking KOLs
We went from Andreas to Ansem 😭
A man spent years teaching people about Bitcoin, but when he admitted he wasn't rich from it, one of Bitcoin's biggest figures mocked him. What happened next made him a millionaire.
> Andreas Antonopoulos had been educating people about Bitcoin since 2012.
> He wrote books, gave hundreds of talks and helped thousands of people understand Bitcoin.
> But there was one thing he didn't have, a massive Bitcoin fortune.
> In December 2017, Roger Ver, popularly known as Bitcoin Jesus, questioned why Andreas hadn't become rich from Bitcoin despite being an early advocate.
> Andreas replied that he had actually bought Bitcoin early.
> But in 2013, he sold his holdings to pay rent and support his family.
> He had spent years working on Bitcoin without a steady income and couldn't afford to keep holding.
> That response changed everything.
> Bitcoin supporters began sharing his donation address, encouraging people who had benefited from his work to give something back.
> Within three days, hundreds of donations had poured in.
> One person sent 79 bitcoin:native, while another donation was worth $1.2 MILLION at the time.
> By December 8, Andreas had received approximately 102 bitcoin:native worth $1.6 MILLION at the time.
> At today's Bitcoin price, those 102 bitcoin:native would be worth approximately $7.5 MILLION.
> Andreas was so overwhelmed that he described reading the messages with tears in his eyes.
> He had spent years helping people discover Bitcoin and when the community found out he wasn't wealthy, they sent him a fortune.
We're almost in 2027 and no one gives a shit about ETH except Tom Lee
Expanding on why I believe "ETH as store of value (SoV)" makes much more sense to focus on than "ETH as fee-burning token".
Three primary reasons:
1. ETH as fee-burning token never was as strong as it seemed
2. Optimizing for ETH as fee-burning token would demand Ethereum and ETH function in ways that are very hard to make compatible with decentralization and capture resistance.
3. Meanwhile, optimizing for ETH as SoV is aligned with Ethereum focusing on its unique strengths (decentralization and CROPS)
EIP-1559 (including its burn) is fine and good, we should keep them. But we should not feel sad if fee burn is < 10% of breakeven indefinitely; the value of ETH comes from elsewhere.
The core idea: the big thing that people appreciate about Ethereum is decentralization and CROPS. The main pragmatic benefit that these things translate into is stability. SoV is the category where that is not an unneeded extra we merely put effort into for ideological reasons, but rather a pragmatic strength from the perspective of people putting in their assets. And in the era of AI disruption, stability will be highly valued.
Hutchinson done a "Hughie Fury vs Joseph Parker" con job but actually got the decision lmao @UltrasPodcast

Israel has brainwashed you into believing that Palestine with zero fighter jets, zero helicopters, zero tanks, and zero soldiers are oppressing a nuclear superpower with 75-400 nuclear warheads, over 340 fighter jets, 130 helicopters, 1,500 tanks, and 650,000 soldiers.
Stop calling it a war. Israel is not fighting an army; it is fighting defenseless civilians—women, children, and elderly. Call it what it is: GENOCIDE

happy "halloween" to those who celebrate
just remember you're worshipping a pagan satanic sacrificial ritual that mocks religion
it also gives modern women another excuse to dress and behave like whores and if "your" woman is excited to celebrate it, I have bad news for you.

In 50 years, one of the most common deathbed regrets will be “I wasted my life on short-form videos” and the darkest part is they won’t even remember a single one
I’ll put the bread up right now on Benevidez too big too strong for Useless @THEDONYB
.@usykaa tells me he wants to return to cruiserweight for a fight with David Benavidez because he’s already “cleaned (out) the heavyweight (division)” and wants to return to his weight. He said right now he’s around 96/97 kilos (211-213 pounds).
