Weekly Meta #2
Big chain attacked, grifting founder exited, pop-up popped & a bunch more
Tbh I didn‘t spend much time on Twitter this week as I was camping on an island nearby where I live, BUT! I did manage to collect some good bits!
Weekly Meta
Monero becomes the first “big chain” that gets 51% attacked 😬
After less than 4 years working on a project he raised $150m for, Jason Zhao is another grifting exit founder, with his project making ~$15/day in fees 🥲
After 100+ years of psy-oping people to buy diamonds, price of diamonds goes down 90% after people start producing diamonds in factories 😂
ERC-8004: Trustless Agents, up for review. Think Ethereum is the perfect substrate for AI agents? This allows unknown agents to transact with confidence
Edge announced the first 5 residencies at their latest pop-up, in Patagonia. Most interesting one (to me 🤪) - Argentina Onchain led by our old dOrg friend, Ori
Ori promptly DMd me to ask if we‘re interested in coming & filming it. And of course YES! - our next docu is conveniently titled Ethereum in Argentina 👀
Octant partnered with the EF‘s Strategic Funding Coordination team for Epoch 9: Ethereum Stories. Again, insanely convenient for us 😂
Will Ruddick of Grassroots Economics wrote another banger thread on commitment pooling, a cosmic-level reorientation of what we think economics is
Our friends over at Commons Hub Austria have decided to buy a church! A literal church!!! They are halfway through raising $200k - consider pitching in!
Are we getting that September correction in August? Sure looks like it!
Idk about you, but I‘m getting pretty excited about Devconnect!
We got the media pass for Devconnect itself, we‘re planning on filming the final week of the biggest hackathon in Argentina (about bringing Argentina onchain) & now Ori‘s Edge residency with the same topic…
We will spend 3 weeks at these 3 locations, filming what Ethereum in Argentina looks like, and what Ethereum can do for Argentines.
Are you a local there? Know any? Comment below! 🙏
