Introducing Ironbox, a Hyperliquid trading sandbox anyone can spin up in seconds.
Every box is your own server with market data, Python and a paper account inside: describe an idea in plain English or bring your own bot, then backtest it and run it on paper.
People will look back at this price $TAC was having and they will wonder how they missed it while they trade a chinese cat on pumpfun named solana:4CxjZyMNoF1p6eXHXHv1TWpS2X47CuUmLwtGe18spump
Private transactions across Bitcoin's bitcoin:native and Ethereum's ethereum:native , better than zcash:native, zkproof

All I know is that whenever the short squeeze happens it's going to be a beautiful sight.
That's pretty awesome, everything runs onchain
EVERYTHING !!! 🤯

I feel like ppl are misunderstanding this post as Vitalik pivoting to the ETH as an SoV thesis.
I’m quite certain that he always viewed ETH as an SoV.
Why else would he keep >90% of his net worth in ETH?
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.

ETH as store of value.
Ethereum as world computer.

Whether we are talking about Bitcoin...
Whether we are talking about alts...
Either this will be one of the most obvious retests later on in hindsight or something else is going on.
My bet is still strongly in favor of the former.

jeff from hyperliquid is 31, his protocol made $713m in a year, and he still won't say what he's worth
> harvard math and cs, quit HRT in under a year
> zero vc money. his line: if satoshi had raised a series a, bitcoin wouldn't be bitcoin
> core contributors hold ~$18.5b of HYPE. he owns no car and no house
> says staying anonymous would've been fine. went public only because someone had to push the project
my favorite detail: suit and tie for dc, hoodie when he codes. and his team asked bloomberg to keep presidents' portraits out of the photo background
he calls hyperliquid "a layer where exchanges get deployed". @entropyIO is one of them. $7.5m of open interest in august, $164m now
name another founder sitting on that much who still just works all day
