As Bitcoin's security budget continues to diminish, I've decided to launch — a website with live charts dedicated to explaining-like-you're-five why Bitcoin will fail one day if this issue is not resolved. What you'll find: • What's the security budget
I’m on the $BCH highway — pedal to the metal, no traffic, no tolls, no BS. Just a fast lane to freedom.😎

I used to believe BTC & ETH were the answer. Then I saw chains doing 1M+ TPS with near-zero fees and instant finality. Hard to unsee that. #BTC #ETH #Blockchain
Lots of Monero bros are in disbelief that a 51% attack by Qubic can happen 😕 Any PoW chain can be attacked. It doesn't matter how good your coin is: what matters is the security budget. Bitcoiners shouldn't gloat: Bitcoin might be next. Here's a brief history of 51% attacks:
This is exactly why ASIC resistance is not good: a hostile actor can easily get the majority of the hashrate. And if you have ASICs, manufacturing and pools centralized everything. Hybrid systems, or well-distributed PoS, are the way to go. Sleep easy.
SOL & SUI apps are thriving! As DeFi can only be built on scalable chains; that is why those apps are winning: 🏆 Decentralized Exchange: RAY, ORCA, CETUS, DEEP Lending & Borrowing: KAMINO, METEORA, SEND, NAVX App revenue on SOL is now higher than all other chains COMBINED! 🔥
The future of DeFi can only be built on high-throughput blockchains; that is why SOL & SUI apps are thriving: Decentralized Exchange: RAY, ORCA, JUP, CETUS, DEEP Lending & Borrowing: KAMINO, METEORA, SEND, NAVX App revenue on SOL is now higher than all other chains combined 🔥
Crypto isn’t just a battle over finance it’s a war of minds and societies. It started as a revolution but got corrupted by greed and power for many. We must understand crypto deeply and choose wisely; our future depends on it.
So with 'these' intertwined, we're constantly faced with our demons - to fight & choose to do what's right, but the human heart is full of evil, that's why we win one out of every ten battles, meme trying to rug out the vision, and why #Crypto is such a big beautiful mess🤦‍♂️
Crypto is a war of ideas! From revolution to financial nihilism Do you follow hype or stand for truth? The allure of wealth & power corrupts most who touch it Few even understand it: Crypto is tech, politics & economics wound into one No wonder it is such a big beautiful mess!
Decentralization was not meant to be this loud, this hot, or this centralized. The quiet truth? ETH’s dream is burning under the weight of its own design.
Slower base layer, expensive hardware, more complexity… is this really the best path forward for DeFi and stablecoins? Justin’s thread has me thinking. Worth the read if you’re following the scaling debates.👇
tell me he's wrong
While everyone else is rushing toward speed, scale, and simplicity, Ethereum is leaning more toward slow and heavy!
zk and L2s will not help ETH to fix the fundamental scaling issues. It worsens the tokenomics too. L1 scaling is the way to go forward. @RubixChain enables maximal horizontal sharding at L1 already.
Buyback flywheel loading on @DriftProtocol after closing ATH $5b weekly Perp Volume... Another check for top tier tokenomics. Accelerate.
Ethereum made too many wrong turns and backed itself into a corner with no solid path forward Read this Understand it Ethereum is legacy tech that has absolutely no business being the leading SC platform
@MHamzaTalib @Justin_Bons Justin Bons critiques Ethereum's ZkEVM roadmap, arguing it dooms ETH to slow 10s block times, prioritizing centralized L2s over L1 scaling. This hinders DeFi/stablecoin competitiveness vs. faster chains like Solana. High prover requirements ($100k hardware, 10kW power) risk
There is no such thing as L2 scaling. Completely agreed with @Justin_Bons here. ZK is great, it is although pretty slow and it does not look like Ethereum wants to scale. Scaling means low block times, instant finality, insane amount of processing. Time to BUIDL more!
The Future of $ETH is BASE... Now is more evident than ever... I mean ETH sucks! FOR REAL! what a piece of garbage is the mainnet... Unfortunately that's what we have now, better chains will come, entities like $ETH cause with L2s They have control, and also be okay with the sec

1/9) Ethereum has doubled down on remaining slow forever! That is what the ZkEVM roadmap means! As it makes ETH uncompetitive for stablecoins & DeFi As ZK proofs take so long to compute, even on powerful machines... Thereby slowing ETH way down in favour of centralized L2s: 🧵
HODLing does not liberate anyone. Real freedom comes from apps that actually work for everyone and everywhere instantly. BTC cannot deliver that and it never will.
The original vision wasn’t digital gold, it was peer-to-peer electronic cash and uncensorable apps.
I also think BTC dominance will fall in the long run... unless they drastically update the tech. Bitcoin is old tech and the advancements in crypto move far beyond what Bitcoin is currently capable of. Adapt or die.
Most people don’t want digital gold. They want digital freedom, digital income, digital access. #BTC can’t offer that. #DigitalFreedom #CryptoUtility #BeyondBitcoin
Exactly BTC paved the way but it was never meant to carry the entire ecosystem. The next wave is about real use cases, not just digital gold narratives. Adoption will come from people actually using crypto, not just holding it @Justin_Bons
BTC dominance will continue to fall in the long run As the utility of crypto is far more valuable than speculation alone! The cypherpunk revolution depends on it; only the mass adoption of crypto apps can change the world BTC is technically incapable of supporting that future!
One standout product proving Real Market Fit lately has been NEAR Intents! 🔥 Major ecosystems including BNB, Solana, TON, Infinex, and most recently SUI Network have adopted NEAR Intents as a streamlined solution for cross-chain swaps and OTC trading, so I expect that adoption
My bet is on SOL with JUP/JLP. Not just memes. Real apps. Real usage. Huge upside for the revenue, too. Let’s see who scales with the demand. What's your pick? ⚖️ - @JupiterExchange
Real success is hidden in the numbers As @Justin_Bons says, PMF is just the beginning Now the stage belongs to the strong L1s that can carry it My favorites are @NEARProtocol and @solana solid and visionary
Billions in revenue confirm crypto’s product market fit. But long term success depends on the infrastructure it runs on. Scalability without compromising security or decentralization is rare. Not every L1 can support sustainable growth. Choose wisely the future will be built on
Crypto now has billions of dollars in application revenue! Proving Product Market Fit 🔥 Notable examples include: AAVE, HYPE, JUP, RAY, ORCA & DEEP! Powering it all depends on scalable L1s like SOL, SUI, NEAR & APT! Crypto has truly arrived, so choose your champions wisely ⚖️
