An important, and perenially underrated, aspect of "trustlessness", "passing the walkaway test" and "self-sovereignty" is protocol simplicity.Even if a protocol is super decentralized with hundreds of thousands of nodes, and it has 49% byzantine fault tolerance, and nodes fully verify everything with quantum-safe peerdas and starks, if the protocol is an unwieldy mess of hundreds of thousands of lines of code and five forms of PhD-level cryptography, ultimately that protocol fails all three tests:* It's not ...

C. Wood of Jefferies cuts a 10% Bitcoin allo from his portfolio, fearing quantum computing.The quantum FUD is going to be the story of 2026 because:1) very few people ACTUALLY understand quantum technology and2) crypto is dominated by narratives, vibes, and momentum, it makes crypto vulnerable to FUDs.$ETH with its quantum roadmap looks good here. ...

Hello everybody. Welcome to your Saturday, January 17th live stream. So, there's some news out that I took a look at and I've been pretty bearish for quite some time, short-term bearish, buying Bitcoin every day.But news like this makes me more bullish and edging into something a little bit more positive. And what I'm talking about is Donald Trump. Actually, before we talk about Donald Trump and the massive amount of tariffs he's going to impose on certain countries, we need to take a look at the price acti ...

Welcome back to the goodworld channel everyone. My name is Josh and right now Bitcoin is continuing to play out the short-term warning signal which means the price of Bitcoin is now starting to retest a very important area on the price chart that we need to pay attention to. And this is happening as the Bitcoin ETFs are now starting to dump Bitcoin once again causing some sell pressure in the short term while Ethereum is now and still retesting this crucial line on the price chart while Salana is continuing ...

This is a pivotal time. Right now, crypto has entered its 1996 moment. What do I mean by that.Retail will come back. It is inevitable. A 5x, I mean, that would be my bull case.I I don't think that's a likely outcome. 2x, 3x, I think that's more likely. >> You are thinking about changing your the name of your channel to Bitcoin Daily.you guys got your prediction pretty well because um I believe I think that in the first interview we did like uh around the time of the haling in 2024 you were predicting 120 as ...

Welcome back to the good watch channel everyone. My name is Josh and right now while Bitcoin's continuing to break out from this bullish price pattern in the immediate short term, the price is now confirming and already starting to play out a new warning signal in the immediate short term that we need to pay attention to. So, in just a moment, I'll be going over my exact Bitcoin trading strategy moving forward, showing exactly what I'm planning to do to profit from the next Bitcoin move.While Ethereum is no ...

Bankless Nation, it's the third week of January. It's time for the Bankless Weekly roll up, the clarity bill. It took front and center.It was in the Senate. It was a big conversation this week. It's probably the most important bill for crypto.I would say, David, even above the Genius Bill, which was much more straightforward, much more simple, but the clarity bill is supposed to do what we hope, which is provide clarity to crypto on what's legal in the US and what's not. There's some horse trading going on ...

Core Insights - Ethereum's user base is showing significant stickiness, with Month-over-Month Activity Retention nearly doubling in the last 30 days, indicating a strong retention of new users [1][2] - The network added approximately 4 million new active addresses this month, bringing the total to 8 million, which is a notable increase compared to previous spikes driven by airdrop farming [1][2] - Daily transactions reached a record 2.8 million, reflecting a 125% year-over-year increase, attributed to the recent Fusaka upgrade that expanded block sizes by roughly 33% [3][7] User Engagement - The sharp spike in the "New" cohort's Month-over-Month Activity Retention suggests a surge in first-time interacting addresses, indicating genuine user engagement rather than speculative activity [2][6] - High retention rates in a low-fee environment imply that these users are likely engaging with stablecoins or DeFi platforms, rather than being part of bot networks that typically show high churn [6] Market Dynamics - Confidence in Ethereum is improving, with indicators suggesting potential price increases driven by capital inflows into ETFs, stablecoins, and crypto protocols [4] - Staking now locks over 50% of Ether's total supply, which may contribute to the positive sentiment around the asset [4] - There is a noted disconnect between strong on-chain metrics and price action, reflecting skepticism about Ethereum's value accrual model amid macroeconomic challenges [4] Institutional Perspective - For desk traders, the count of "New Addresses" is often viewed as a vanity metric, but the doubling of retention is considered a more significant indicator of user engagement [5]

I'd rather have no bill than a bad bill. >> The biggest piece of crypto legislation in history, this would regulate crypto has failed. >> Obviously, in your tweet last night, you laid out what your concerns are with the bill.Uh too many restrictions on rewards, not enough uh CFTC oversight here. You mentioned issues with the DeFi space. I won't rehash all of it, but you've been working with lawmakers so closely on this.Why did it all fall apart at the 11th hour. The Senate Banking Committee postpones their ...
