It’s disappointing that such an important member of our community is stating we’ve abandoned our users. I’ve, as well as everyone on the @arbitrum team, basically been doing 100+ hour work weeks to try and scale Ethereum as quickly as possible. Things take time. Seriously wtf
Yes I have abandoned Ethereum despite supporting it in the past.
Yes Ethereum has abandoned its users despite supporting them in the past.
The idea of sitting around jerking off watching the burn and concocting purity tests, while zero newcomers can afford the chain, is gross.
The Arbitrum academic paper was published on July 25, 2018. The price of ETH was around $470. It subsequently fell to as low as $80. Nobody stopped building. Let's cut through the noise for the long-term signal.
Lots of talk about the new Ethereum roadmap prioritizing the L1 and what that means for rollups.
Here are my thoughts as someone who is all-in on growing Arbitrum and the L2 landscape and also cares about Ethereum:
- Above all else I care about Ethereum leadership prioritizing
Some personal thoughts on the Tempo and Ethereum news that trickled out today.
- Criticizing Dankrad for taking a new job is simply immature. People change jobs and roles all the time. I don't know him personally but from what I understand he contributed a lot to Ethereum while
The amount of resources that @coinbase is putting into their legal defense to make sure this is done right and no stone remains unturned is incredible. I understand that in many ways this case could be existential and clarity from both a legal and policy perspective is necessary
It’s one thing to say that the Ethereum ecosystem as quickly as is necessary. It’s another thing to stare we gave up because we are all already rich. That’s just horseshit
What a history day for crypto, Robinhood, Ethereum and of course @arbitrum. I have many thoughts that I can't wait to share but will leave you with just a few for now:
- What Robinhood is doing is truly historic. Using crypto rails to run their business is such a 0 --> 1 moment
On my way home from ETHCC and some high level takeaways:
- Cannes way exceeded my expectations despite the heat. @jdetychey and team did a great job organizing.
- Robinhood stole the show. Everywhere I went it was THE topic of conversation. I don’t think it was just the
I see a lot of people talking about @arbitrum today.
Now that I have you, did you know you can write contracts in both Solidity and Rust on Arbitrum? It’s the only chain that lets you do that and it’s powerful.
Gives developers the freedom to choose.
Arbitrum Everywhere.
I think the incredible early success of Plasma is ironically the best case study for why L2 architectures are superior.
I know this seems awfully counterintuitive (and self-serving) so let me explain.
Plasma has done a historic job in go-to-market and launch work. I don’t
