"AWS us-east-1 is down again. Half the internet just broke. Signal's having a sleep in. Even AWS support is down so you can't complain about AWS being down This is what renting your infrastructure gets you. One DNS hiccup and millions suddenly realize they don't control anything. Some Ethereum validators run on AWS. But while other services are down Ethereum keeps producing blocks. That's the difference between using infrastructure and depending on it"

"Celo and Ronin just demonstrated why every alt L1 might eventually become an Ethereum L2 Celo shut down XXX validators and cut security costs by XXXX% from $XXX million per year to just $13200. Ronin paid out $XX million in staking rewards since 2023 just to maintain their L1. Now they're redirecting those funds to developers who actually drive revenue. They're processing 350000 daily active addresses across XXX games with transaction activity higher than during Axie Infinity's XXX million user peak in 2022. And Blob capacity is increasing 8x with Fusaka upgrade. The founder of Ronin put it"

"Bhutan just became the first nation to anchor its national digital identity system on Ethereum. 800000 citizens. Bhutan chose Ethereum for something that actually matters: its citizens' digital identity. Why would a sovereign nation choose Ethereum over using enterprise solutions the same reason Mario Draghi calls Europe's XX% dependency on foreign digital infrastructure an "existential challenge." They don't want to be held hostage. Bhutan just showed there's another way: build on neutral protocols that no one owns but everyone can verify. I'm guessing nations need - - Systems that outlive"

"Did Justin just break the blockchain trilema This changes scale and decentralization. Ethereum teams can now generate a validity proof for an entire L1 block fast enough to keep up with block time (12s) and often in 7s on a single rack of GPUs you could run in a garage. That removes todays validator/hardware bottleneck lets us raise gas limits a lot and also lets very cheap devices validate safely (stateless light clients)"

"Heres to the builders who see trust differently. The ones who think contracts should execute themselves. Who believe privacy is a right not a privilege. Who see games owned by players not platforms. Theyre gathering in Buenos Aires for the first Ethereum Worlds Fair at @EFDevcon Eight districts. Eight futures being built today. While old Worlds Fairs unveiled the telephone and light bulb this one showcases the infrastructure replacing institutions that have existed for centuries. The builders arent waiting for permission. Theyre not asking if its possible. Theyre showing what already works."
