Alright, last thread on ETH and its "killers", for today. Vitalik once said (and there is a video of it somewhere), ETH killer is ETH. I believe he is correct, ironically.

ETH is overwhelmingly successful. But its success (not other coins) may also be its own killer. 1/5
Perhaps social media is the best example. Friendster, MySpace was hugely popular, couldn't handle the load, couldn't keep up with the user/demand growth. Gone. Many other examples if you are old enough to remember the early days of the internet. 2/5
Ethereum created the smart contract market, which lead to ICOs, DeFi, NFTs, etc. Demand is growing exponentially, performance of ETH aren't. ETH 2.0 is still years away. Rollup aren't user friendly (jury is still out). This is the ETH killer. 3/5
Most new projects (that's pretty much all projects in crypto) face this threat. Even @Binance CEX is facing growth issues too. If we don't scale our systems fast enough, we could also go extinct real quick. 4/5
#BSC is not a ETH killer. It is built with learnings from ETH and tries to help solve one key issue, high fees. It wasn't designed that way, or at least, it wasn't presented to me as such. (I was/am not involved in its design.)

I just shill #BSC and #BNB. 5/5

#crypto vs stonk trading.

1/6. Markets. #Bitcoin is traded on thousands of exchanges. Stonks are typically listed on one exchange only, by design. More markets tend to reduce manipulation.
2. Insiders. Bitcoin doesn’t have insiders. Other crypto are less decentralized than bitcoin, but most are more decentralized than stonks, which have legally defined insiders.
3. Fees. Crypto exchange charges much lower fees. Stonk trading involves high and often hidden fees.

For those new to #bitcoin, here are some history of its price.

Thread: 1/8 Image
2) #BTC hit $30 ATH in June 2011, from $0.30 in Jan 2011 (100x in 6 months ish).

Then "crashed" 90% to $3 (still 10x of before).

Then took just about 2 years to recover back to $30 in Feb 2013.

Looks familiar? Then... Image
3) 2 months later, in Apr 2013, $BTC hit a new ATH $213 (7x).

Check how big the previous $30 ATH looks. Image

STEEM thread. I was hoping not to be involved, but alas, doesn’t seem to be possible. I did approve the vote from Binance, thinking (wrongly) it was a regular upgrade/fork. For that, I apologize. Guess it is only fair that I get involved until the issue is resolved.
I am not an expert on STEEM, as you may (wrongly) assume. We deal with hundreds of projects/blockchains, each have their own consensus/vote/delegate/witness/staking/... mechanisms. Can’t know them all. So, please excuse some noob questions/comments.
Q1: Justin Sun claims that some witness froze his 65m coins, not just blocked from governance, but not even allowed to transfers. This has happened on Feb 22. Is it true?

Unscheduled system maintenance. Trading paused. Working on it.
Funds are #SAFU. No need to panic.
One of the market data pushers had issues, matching engine was fine, no data loss or corruption (other than market data). Working on it. Should be fixed soon.

The difference between the 2017 #altszn and the next one is that this new one won't just have whitepapers. Projects in the next #altszn will have products and users.

They are still risky investments, but the industry is much healthier now.

1/10 A few points. Most of you may not know the final outcome of my dispute with Sequoia, but it is public now. In summary, the arbitration tribunal dismissed all of Sequoia's claims.
2/ I won, but the case was very damaging. First, Sequoia took out an injunction against me which prevented me from raising finance for Binance at the end of 2017 which was a critical time in the market and when there was huge interest in Binance from other VCs and investors.
3/ The injunction and Sequoia's serious allegations against me were made public, but I was not able to publicly defend myself because the arbitration was confidential.
