1/Open Finance is an exciting industry being built on Ethereum. Ethereum is slow and inefficient on Layer 1, but exceptionally good at storing and programming digital value & acting as a settlement layer (Something EOS will never be because it lacks security and decentralization)
2/Open source software is being built on Ethereum that lowers economic barriers and lets anyone in the world have access to the global financial system, including the unbanked, because it doesn’t require a trusted intermediary.
3/People can securely store their own assets using hardware wallets or mobile app wallets. Exchanges, loans, insurance, finance, banks, baskets, derivatives, and CDP’s are among just a few permissionless services available.
4/The rights to real-world assets including securities can be tokenized and traded through programmable smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain.
5/This allows for anyone to own fractionalized assets including metals, gems, carbon credits, fiat, oil, real estate, equity, voting, dividends, debt, invoices, derivatives, collectibles, art, commodities, revsharing, music licensing, royalties, trademarks, patents, & copyrights.
6/People can use ETH as collateral for a Maker CDP to create the Dai stablecoin, take a tokenized short or long position using dYdX, or even earn interest using Compound Finance or Dharma Protocol.
7/Open Finance on Ethereum unlocks the global financial system, creates new tradable assets that have never existed before, and gives access to these permissionless services to everyone in the world. #defi#openfinance

1/ Solana was backed by one of the biggest frauds in history. The media portrayed him as a boy genius wunderkind, which made people want to invest in this average blockchain. Now he is disgraced and facing life in prison.
2/ FTX committing fraud and stealing customer funds to invest in Solana projects was the main reason anything was successful on Solana. Now all that money is gone and FTX will forever be negatively associated with Solana.
3/ Multicoin Capital, the biggest advocates for both FTX and Solana took a massive hit. This is following their other notorious 2017-18 bet on EOS. You can feel the LP redemptions in the SOL price right now as it trends to zero.
14 easy ways to shut down a BiTcOiN MaXiMaLiSt and make them realize they should stack ETH before it’s too late 👇
BM: ETH was rolled back in the early days and isn’t immutable.
Me: Bitcoin was also rolled back in the early days and by your definition is also not immutable.

2/
BM: Ethereum did a premine.
Me: So did Bitcoin, Satoshi mined 1 million BTC all by himself. That’s not a fair launch.
3/ BM: You can’t calculate the circulating supply of Ethereum.
Me: Yes you can, it was already calculated.
1/ The biggest lie by Facebook and @davidmarcus (or maybe he is naive)
"Facebook created a subsidiary — Calibra — that will operate a wallet service on top of the Libra Network, and while Facebook, Inc. owns and controls Calibra, it won’t see financial data from Calibra."
2/ Calibra is Facebook's Trojan horse to eventually steal your data and your privacy when they inevitably change their ToS in the future like they did with FB, Instagram, and Whatsapp after becoming successful. Trusting Facebook with your data and privacy is a joke at this point.
3/ It's important to remember that Facebook is a corporation that only has a responsibility to its shareholders. They are not trying to "help" people, that's all PR BS so they can sleep at night. At the end of the day, the customer is their product.
1/ Binance is doing everything they can to recreate the ICO mania of 2017 to pump and dump shitcoins again. Repackaging ICOs to IEOs, migrating tokens to a new chain, hiring liquidity providers to pump IEO listings, and making everything regulation free by being in Malta.
2/This is all a big illusion. Binance is using lessons from the last cycle but it's all the same shit. Since they are in Malta, they don't have to worry about antitrust laws. This allows them to get away with shady business practices like forcing tokens to switch chains or delist
3/ Since the demographic of Binance customers is either clueless investors or shitcoin gamblers interested in pump and dumps, it just shows they understand their customers well. If you aren't focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum, you are in crypto for all the wrong reasons.
1/ Why ETH is positioned to be a Store of Value (SoV)💰
It’s been said that ETH attracted temporary reservation demand and hoarding because investors needed a store of ETH to participate in the many ICO’s in 2017, but now that demand has dried up, dropping the price of ETH 90%.
2/ ETH will accrue more value as demand increases and supply decreases. Demand for ETH will increase because of increased utility for gas, investment due to speculation, and as more DeFi apps gain traction, which promotes the use of ETH as money in the Ethereum economy.
3/ ETH will also serve as money for three core protocol purposes: gas fees, staking, and storage fees.
