"The @a16z report is super interesting. My favorite slide: Developing countries account for the majority of actual on-chain activity through mobile wallet usage. Countries like India Nigeria Indonesia and Argentina collectively represent over XX% of monthly active mobile crypto wallet users suggesting these populations are using crypto for real transactions rather than just trading"

"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."

"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"

"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)"
