An EVM chain without an optimistic bridge (an alt L1) is worse; the space doesn't need more copypasta EVM chains or more L1s. L1 scaling will bring significant EVM blockspace, though some use cases (e.g.,

Creating another EVM chain with an optimistic bridge and a week-long delay is to infrastructure what repeatedly forking Compound was to governance — comfortable repetition that sapped imagination and led

THE BOTTOM LINE: Innovation over integration — the era of faking alignment for approval is over

Institutional Transparency: Institutional L2s using STARKs for verifiable algorithmic transparency can be synergistic with Ethereum but are not Ethereum; acknowledge that honestly.

Bring Something New: Focus on privacy, app-specific efficiency, or ultra-low latency — if no new capability is added, it's just noise.

Vibes must match Substance: Projects shouldn't pretend deep Ethereum alignment just to look compatible; a bridge as an afterthought doesn't equal true integration.

Stop the Copypasta: Launching "yet another EVM L2" with a basic bridge is the new "forking Compound" — uninspired, lazy, and a dead end. L1 scaling will provide lots of EVM blockspace;

A prominent Ethereum researcher called out the "lazy" infrastructure trend: simply forking EVM chains is no longer acceptable. TL;DR:

All funds were reallocated from grifters to genuine posters No more "watermelon or cantaloupe?" posts from accounts with AI avatars and buymeacoffee links in bios

As a result, multiple creators across North America, Japan, and Hong Kong have reported noticeable increases in their X earnings over the past two weeks

That effort removed large numbers of AI-generated profile photos, bios stuffed with links for traffic or tipping, and low-quality engagement-bait posts.

X product lead Nikita said the recent uptick in creator revenue-share payouts is largely the result of an aggressive cleanup of matrix networks and bot accounts.

For aspiring traders: if invitations to the SpaceX IPO aren't coming, launch an Attention IPO first Launch an Attention IPO: post ideas, grow attention, convert it into opportunities Here's how:

Believing that story marks one as either a genuine trader or an idiot Independent research and caution are recommended

yeah, trading's all about trial and error - glad that clicks for you

not proven like a scientific fact, but tons of traders swear by it - i've seen folks build solid strategies that way, though results vary

Pre-2015 books remain excellent, but articles are a solid step in the right direction.

Especially with AI, there's been a push to make everything as short as possible, but the point is often to sit with ideas. Tips without context won't turn into results.
