If you love Bitcoin, you would love $DCR even more. It takes time for the product market fit. Don't forget Bitcoin was only used by silkroad in the beginning, privacy tech is fundamental to blockchain and cryptocurrency.

I love the cyberpunk vision of a censorship resistant & neutral P2P Electronic cash 💸, but this is not Bitcoin. Bitcoin was overtaken by politics. In a technology driven world, it must have strived to do more, to actually achieve those goals. Altcoins can do that, while they
Is Bitcoin the Emperor With No Clothes? 👑 Bitcoin maxis, avert your eyes. 🔍 @Justin_Bons has consistently dropped bombs on BTC “Bitcoin is technically one of the worst cryptocurrencies.” “Its security model is broken and doomed to collapse within a decade.” Too harsh?
I love Bitcoin! ❤️ Censorship-resistant & neutral P2P Electronic Cash Designed to be scarce & accessible to the masses without permission So, if you love Bitcoin too, consider supporting altcoins instead, for the sake of freedom & everything BTC was supposed to stand for! 🕊️
Brilliant post and clear measurement @Justin_Bons, just to add to what you've said about NEAR's scalability With NEAR sharding powered by Nightshade 2.0, it can dynamically add capacity and scale with demand, ensuring the network grows as usage increases Currently,
$NEAR doesn’t just compete it wins where it matters most in the long run: ✅ Most scalable (100k+ TPS via sharding) ✅ Fast (sub-second finality) ✅ Economically sound ✅ Developer-friendly infra ✅ Ready for the agentic future Ignore #NEAR now, chase it later. #NEARProtocol

NEAR is the sharded blockchain, positioned to host hundreds of millions of transacting agents. According to @justin_bons its design makes it the #1 most scalable blockchain of any that currently exist 💪 Thanks for the shoutout Justin!
So what’s a good crypto for 2025? Looking at Aptos as the only Move chain with 4/5 strengths: Fast ✅ Scalable ✅ Well-governed ✅ Economically sound ✅ I agree Aptos can’t lead in decentralization yet, but that’s just a matter of time. 2025 is the Aptos Year!
I would ❤️ to see $APT & $SUI increase validator set above 1k & reduce tech needs to a gaming computer while maintaining sub second speed and finality. I think those are the 🎯 for decentralization

What is a good cryptocurrency in 2025? 💎 Decentralized: BTC, ETH, SOL & ADA Scalable: SOL, SUI, APT & NEAR Fast: SOL, SUI, APT & NEAR Well-governed: ADA, DOT, ICP & APT Economically sound: ETH, SOL, APT & NEAR These are only from top 30; there are many more gems out there: 🧵 Decentralized: Decentralization exists on a multidimensional spectrum; it is not a binary! From network topology to governance & politics, decentralization should be measured across multiple metrics, making it a complicated exercise For the purpose of this list, we are looking purely at network topology, where combining validator counts, Nakamoto Coefficient & the "cost of attack" serve as the primary measures ETH is the clear winner in decentralization here! 👑 When it comes to all of these decentralization metrics, it has the highest validator counts & the highest "cost to attack". Except for the Nakamoto coefficient, which ADA ended up leading in! Scalable We kept this one simple: Any chain that is able to exceed a max theoretical capacity of 10k TPS wins here This is using a simple 1 to 1 value transfer for the purpose of comparison The winner in scalability is NEAR! 👑 Thanks to its sharded design, it can scale to 100k+ TPS & beyond! Fast Sub-second block times are the new normal; if a blockchain does not meet this criterion, they are slow! SUI is the winner in speed! 👑 Overtaking SOL by a very narrow margin, as both chains represent the cutting edge in parallelized blockchain design Well-Governed On-chain governance/stakeholder governance is the only way we preserve decentralization into the future What is the point of a decentralized blockchain if the rules of the system can be changed in a dictatorial fashion So for this category, we looked at the maturity of the implementation of on-chain treasuries, proposal mechanisms & other checks & balances DOT takes the win on governance! 👑 DOT's governance design has been one of the best for years now. In particular, how stake is weighted based on time locked, along with the additional checks & balances present Economically Sound This might be my most unpopular take here, but the ideal economic design for a blockchain is a low tail inflation plus a high fee burn As this guarantees security during periods of low economic activity, unlike a fixed supply cap While being more scarce than a fixed supply chain during periods of high economic activity, due to the fee burn exceeding the inflation rate. That is what makes it more economically sound under all scenarios The winner in economics is SOL! 👑 A difficult & probably a controversial choice, as I could easily also have justified picking ETH as the winner in this category based purely on the current numbers The main reason I chose SOL instead is due to ETH's distinct lack of L1 scaling, as I see the fee value of a high-throughput network far exceeding that of a chain without that utility. Based on today's numbers, ETH should win, but this is an evaluation of the design, not only the current state of the network Another minor detail here is that SOL does not burn the priority fee, mitigating the problem of unnecessarily inflating the fee during times of congestion Conclusion Nothing is perfect, despite what maximalists of all chains want you to think. What is "best" depends on what we prioritise & in what order The "ideal" chain would win in all of these categories, but that is not realistic in a highly competitive market that is innovating at a breakneck pace As these teams prioritize different aspects of the design over others, there is a correct choice in terms of who "wins" this cycle. Speed has been one of the key factors over the last year, not scalability per se Explaining the dominance of purely parallelized chains over more sharded designs. Economics & governance have taken more of a back seat, but we can see that is starting to change Contrary to much of, if not more cynical, public sentiment, decentralization is still respected, as most of the top chains meet these criteria. Nothing is perfect, but decentralization is clearly still valued Moving forward, we want all chains to be as decentralized, scalable, fast, well-governed & economically sound as possible 🕊️ That is the fruition of the early cypherpunk dream: Utility drives change; that is the true value of our movement! 🔥
Privacy is normal! A core tenet of the cypherpunk ethos—privacy—was upheld and battle tested at #ETHDam III. 539 registrations, 80 speakers, 199 speaker applications, 2 stages, 5MC, 279 hackers, 33 projects, 30K in bounties, 10K for the top 10. It’s always very humbling to
I just had a great ~35 minute call with @Justin_Bons. It was my first time talking to him directly, as I haven't ever joined a space he's on. It's a shame it took us 2 years to have that call.
@Justin_Bons Also, something to consider: IOG recently fired their main dev contractor, Well-Typed. Allegedly, they gave Charles a 2028 timeline for Leios—he wants it in 2026. As of now, no one knows who’s actually going to build it. 🤷‍♂️
Guys, Justin Bons is right. Remember how much we would talk about Hydra in 2021? Hydra is just now getting some pragmatic use, and the number of devs and products that us Hydra are very low. Nobody cares about ideas until they are deployed AND creating value. We need to STFU
One of the best posts I’ve read in a very long time
Big thanks to the ADA community for explaining their scaling plans: Their 10k TPS claim rests on one upgrade: Leios/Input Endorses, which was first proposed in 2022 There is no timeline for release; it is all theoretical! So, ADA will stay at 18 TPS for the foreseeable future!
Crypto isn’t here to make a few rich. It’s here to make the world fair. Only way to do that? Real-world use, revenue, and unstoppable access.
Sterlin Lujan (@SterlinLujan), a liberty OG and advocate for panarchy, stands with Roger Ver, highlighting the injustice faced by those promoting freedom in the crypto space.
Hallelujah !!! @Justin_Bons is dropping truth bombs - web3 is not some brave new world that lives by a totally new set of rules: 1. You need to have a great product 2. That can reach scale 3. And become profitable Compare with what we focused on until now: 1. Tell narratives
Crypto only wins through use cases, usage & revenue That is the only way we empower humanity with this technology; it must be useful! Otherwise, it is only another mere speculative plaything for the rich & powerful Crypto is money & finance: Decentralized & permissionless! 🔥
The cult of @IOHK_Charles is the only reasoning I can come to for ADA’s continued evaluation, what am I missing here? lol
I want to like ADA; I really do. Can someone please convince me to take their scaling efforts seriously? ADA's current capacity is 18 TPS, which is pathetic! Input Endorses only increases that to 400 TPS... L2s such as Hydra do not solve for L1 scaling. So what am I missing?

BTC's security budget has fallen over the past 4 years! This chart proves BTC's decline, as miner revenue is down: Hashrate does not equal security; most bitcoiners do not understand how PoW works! Leading to a profound public misunderstanding of BTC's failing security model:
아직 @Justin_Bons 가 제기한 문제를 설득력있게 반박한 분은 없음... 그저 영양가 없는 조롱이 대부분이네요.. 비트코인도 여러 기술과 코드가 조합된 결과물임... 시간이 지나면 퇴보하고 시대에 뒤떨어질 수있는 하나의 프로젝트에 불과하다고 생각함... @0xboosik 님 말처럼 '비판없는

The security of BTC will continue to decrease Until it drops so low that it becomes profitable to attack, rendering BTC insecure... 💀 At which point, there will only be two options left: 1. Increase BTC's supply inflation beyond 21M! 2. Allow the network to come under attack!
Chicago fire. Big theater, tiny exit doors that open in not out...
I believe this is exactly how Bitcoin will play out. It is the original memecoin. It sucked in liquidity when it had no competition. And now in 2025, we have seen just how destructive memecoins are for investors and the crypto industry.
BTC will die, not with a whimper, but with a bang: Hurting countless innocent people in the process, as once the crisis begins, the exits close! Due to BTC's extremely limited capacity... That is the "bank run" that will trap many in a death spiral as the network collapses! 💀

A VERY cogent and thorough dissertation on the matter. This is why there will be a VC fork attempt of Bitcoin. Remains to be seen if they can pull it off.
