ETH is the greatest asset in the history of assets.
Ethereum is the global settlement layer for trustless economic bandwidth.

ETH is the asset that will secure the future.

Everything ETH on one page - more to come!
I will never get over what Roman has had to go through. I hope the best for him but it is really bullshit that he has had to go through any of it.
It's been a while since I've talked about Protocol Patches.
The project is still alive, with occasional trading activity, and has now generated over $300 worth of ETH for @ProtocolGuild.
Patches himself is no longer with us, but his little contribution to Ethereum lives on. 🐈❤️
I’ve always wanted to do more to support Ethereum public goods, but my time and limited technical skills made that difficult.
Now that @flaunchgg is on @base, I finally found a way—introducing Protocol Patches. 🐱⛽️
What is Protocol Patches?
It’s a memecoin dedicated to my girlfriend’s affectionate and photogenic cat, Patches—created exclusively for the benefit of @ProtocolGuild.
💰 500M PATCHES sent to Protocol Guild’s multisig.
📈 100% of F-Launch trading fees go to Protocol Guild.
Fair Launch—No Insiders.
As of this tweet, I personally own zero PATCHES.
I haven’t tipped off anyone, not even close friends (though I’m sure we’ll all be buying soon).
Somehow, there are already 14 holders—bots, maybe? 🤷♂️
The cat’s out of the bag! 🐱
Patches loves public goods, and we couldn’t ask for a better mascot.
Also… his lion-like colors remind me of @EVMavericks! 🦁

"XRP: The official cryptocurrency of Florida athletics." 🤮🤮🤮
Yuck! Too swampy, @FloridaGators!
Whoever originated the quote about the best defense crypto has against government hostility being ADOPTION is bang on, as my Canadian friends would say.
As long as it's perceived as a niche for privileged people it's going to be treated as a partisan issue.

When the dust settles, you’re going to wish you had parked your money in something real.
Ethereum is the dominant protocol for the future of finance. ETH is its native currency. The rest is noise.

There is no second best
85% of all active onchain loans sit on @ethereum and its Layer 2s.
Ethereum is the home of onchain finance.

Financial institutions don't choose infrastructure for what it can do today but for what it survives over years.
@ethereum's change management record is unmatched:
11+ years of continuous operation through major upgrades & no chain halts.
That isn't a feature. It's evidence.
Ethereum is not going to become the credibly neutral global settlement layer without ETH being much more valuable than it is now.
That idea was all about narrative following price and people needing to make sense of their frustration and justify investing in something else.
I know this is a highly non-consensus position these days but I do think Ethereum NFTs will have a resurgence at some point.
And by that I mean, our 2021 jpegs, not just stuff yet to be created (although that too).
They will be like the baseball cards from the 40s and 50s that everyone's mom threw away when they moved out of the house.

ETH candles are going to be bigger than your bags because ETH is the future of finance and your bags are not.
Oh, it's also because a bunch of retards have a mountain of open shorts on ETH and they will have to close those.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Washington is forcing @Kalshi to stop offering most markets to residents here.
I don’t dispute that Kalshi has been operating contrary to WA gambling law. I dispute the policy itself.
The idea that @AGOWA is “protecting” me from gambling is absurd.
I can walk a few minutes from my house and buy as many lottery tickets as I want.
I can also legally bet sports if I drive to @ilaniresort.
But placing the same kind of $10 or $20 sports wager from my phone is apparently something the state needs to protect me from.
I’m an adult. I understand what gambling is. I track every bet I make and have spent months developing a disciplined process around it.
Losing @Kalshi genuinely makes that process harder because they often offered markets and prices I couldn’t get elsewhere.
So who exactly is being protected here?
Because from where I sit, this looks less like consumer protection and more like Washington protecting its chosen gambling channels from competition.
If sports betting is acceptable at a tribal sportsbook and @walottery gambling is available everywhere, adults should be allowed more choices—not fewer.

Morgan Stanley just published an @ethereum primer.
Not an ETH price target or a trading thesis.
A primer on Ethereum as infrastructure for stablecoins, tokenized assets, payments, settlement, lending, and financial applications.
Assets converge where the liquidity is.
Liquidity converges where the assets are.
Institutions converge where both already exist.
Ethereum has spent a decade compounding all three.
Those network effects can't be replicated.
Institutions building the future of finance are choosing Ethereum.
I'm waiting for people to start saying the @RedSox must be cheating because there's no way they could be this good.

Happy 11 years of Ethereum.
The pioneer chain for so much of what crypto is today.
