[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[wavessurfing]

The crypto space is on the verge of another potentially historic moment with the first Ethereum Futures ETF in the US. Volatility Shares, a pioneer in the ETF space, has announced its intention to launch the Ether Strategy ETF (Ticker: ETHU) on October 12, 2023. If all goes as planned, this could mark the first Ether based exchange traded fund (ETF) in the United States.

ETF are not necessarily an instrument of massive ETH or BTC buying to meet the needs of new investors.
they will probably be full of ETH or BTC equivalents (ersatz coins).
best exemple of that are gold and silver ETF, who have mainly been used for years to rig the metal's price.

If ...

And only if it was someone like Me, then they wouldn't look at it as 4,500,000USD - they would see them as tokens ONLY. Which is the whole point of the imitation and design of Crypto in the first place. The owners of this World have made Crypto as an 'Asset' to the FIAT System - and EVEYONE has followed.

So Tokens they are and they have been burned - no matter what the 'Price' of them is, and that is that.

The millionaire continues to burn his assets after he burned 2500 ethereum and expensive NFTs.
I can understand the NFT burning because it's a possible scam, but I have questions about the rest.

"The guy who burned 2,500 $ETH($4.58M) transferred 36,188 $GMX($1.78M) and 311,003 $GNX($1.52M) to a dead address again an hour ago."

Exactly My Point!

Tokens and Coins only - Not 'Money' per se ... That is all they are!

The beauty of these things are such that ALL of these Tokens and Coins are HIS/HERS to do what they want with. Not like FIAT that actually only belongs to the Creators of it - the Banking System.

There will be Much More coming!

Please ...

Don't start about FIAT with Me

Disgusting stuff no matter which way You look at it.

Hold it - You get Burned.
Store it - You get Burned.
Use/Sell it - You get Burned.

The Ruling Masters of this World knew EXACTLY what they were doing when they created this Crap!

Let's Pray that Crypto actually does what it was designed to do - and get away from this rubbish that everyone seems to follow the Government and Ruling Bodies have been pushing Crypto to be.

At least with BTC ETH and others - We can be in control of what WE do with the Coins/Tokens WE OWN. Ownership - Total and Complete Ownership unlike ANY FIAT. Hence the reason that burning Coins/Tokens in anyway shows complete Authority over the Money for the holder of the Wallets. I'm all for it! We can do what We want with OUR Money

The first thing that came to my mind was that ETH was transfered by mistake or a computer infection, but seeing that this has happened with other tokens as well...
It's really a mystery that worth investigate for the sake of understanding motivations that are not understandable from the little guy's shoes


If this tweet is credible could be a big deal:

Trump’s Financial Statement from August 14th 2023 quotes a cryptocurrency balance of $2,806,341.

This is almost identical to the present balance of the largest royalty fee wallet associated with the @CollectTrump NFT Project.

I'll do my research on this Arkham platform ( Although I'm skeptical that they can point to Trump with a level of plausibility that's acceptable enough to publish it. Marketing?)

"Decentralized finance (DeFi) platform EigenLayer has seen a 207% surge in total value locked (TVL) after it raised its liquid restaking cap to 100,000 ether (ETH).
The restaking protocol, which went live in June, hit the 100,000 cap in a matter of hours as TVL rose from $78 million to $238 million, according to DefiLlama. TVL refers to the number of tokens locked on any crypto platform."

Ethereum Foundation introduce the Ethereum Execution Layer Specification
After more than a year in development, we're pleased to publicly introduce the Ethereum Execution Layer Specification (affectionately known as EELS.) EELS is a Python reference implementation of the core components of an Ethereum execution client focused on readability and clarity. Intended as a spiritual successor to the Yellow Paper that's more programmer friendly and up-to-date with post-merge forks, EELS can fill and execute state tests, follow mainnet1, and is a great place to prototype new EIPs.

EELS provides complete snapshots of the protocol at each fork—including upcoming ones—making it much easier to follow than EIPs (which only propose changes) and production clients (which often mix multiple forks in the same codepath.)

"A New York court has dismissed a proposed class action lawsuit alleging leading decentralized crypto exchange Uniswap was responsible for causing harm to investors by allowing scam tokens to be issued and traded on the protocol.
The Judge, who oversees the SEC lawsuit against Coinbase, classified ether (ETH) as a commodity in her opinion on the ruling, even as the SEC has shied away from doing so."

Ethereum it seem not going to ponzi again. I don't understand why satoshi nakamoto is everywhere to tell the truth. But the answer of it is from people react to us and live with it. The life satoshi nakamoto is telling us now is the most person why to live it from the start. But please founder number one of ethereum. Please let people mining to do by Proof-of-work. So all people in the entire universe can help or happy with it

Vitalik Buterin has shared details of how hackers managed to take over his Twitter account and steal $691,000 from his followers last week.

In a post on decentralized social network Farcaster, the Ethereum co-founder told followers that hackers had used a SIM swap attack to spoof Twitter into resetting his Twitter password, giving them access to his account and his 4.9 million followers.

“It was a SIM swap, meaning that someone socially-engineered T-Mobile itself to take over my phone number,” said Buterin.

Simple hack satoshi told me. Well at least founder number one of Ethereum right now is caring to all his coin he already invented to the who people or person in need. Is not the twitter problem is to blame it for sure, and all those attack to him. If Ethereum founder number one already understand the code from bitcoin of all from satoshi nakamoto and the other founder for now. I believe founder number one will be more attractive and creatively to design his own coin, but not just Ethereum but all of coin he's (founder number one the D)

Happy great day to everyone,
Cheer up, thank's you

Vitalik Buterin previews a future built on Ethereum
Permissionless: Ethereum co-founder urges attendees in Austin to keep an eye on the frontier of what’s possible with crypto tech

Crypto-based solutions have the potential to be more decentralized, privacy-preserving and secure than the current Web2 landscape, according to Buterin, citing building blocks such as ENS, various proof-of-humanity ideas, and POAPs — or a next generation version using zero-knowledge technology that will be even better — and Gitcoin Passport, as examples.

“The big dream here is to like, really create an independent open tech stack,” Buterin said. Something to compete with the likes of Google and Twitter, without going down a closed, centralized system such as China’s tight integration of Wechat, Alipay and increasingly CBDC.

Hello everyone, any ICO participants of Ethereum still here? i'm having fun creating merkle airdrops and i'm thinking of creating an OG token exclusive for all those who have accounts in the Ethereum genesis block. i'm not an ICO participant but if anyone is interested, i can still do it. just a merkle airdrop 100% for ETH OG. i can just rely on OG tokens donations if you want me to keep on building fun stuff.

This is some kind of a job application. I'm applying for a job to all Ethereum ICO participants. it starts with creating a merkle airdrop based on ethereum genesis distribution. no dev premine, no preallocation.

you can claim the same amount of OG tokens based on your Ethereum genesis balance.
And i can keep on building value of those OG tokens, and rely on your OG token donations.

When do i start?


Thank you for hiring me, Eth OG's.

Ethereum Developers Appear Successful in Second Attempt at Holesky Test Network Launch
The original planned launch date of Holesky, on Sept. 15, was supposed to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Ethereum’s historic “Merge” transition. But things didn't go so smoothly. Now developers are trying again.
Ethereum developers on Thursday appeared successful in their second attempt to launch the Holesky test network, after an attempt earlier this month failed.

https://asumetech.com/five-out-of-six-largest-ethereum-block-builders-comply-with-ofac-sanctions-reveals-new-report/
"Ethereum Block Builders and Growing Censorship Concerns
Ethereum can set new records in 2023
A recent report reveals that five out of the six largest Ethereum block builders now comply with the United States Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) sanctions. The report, authored by Ethereum researcher and data analyst Toni Wahrstätter, highlights a notable increase in censorship in recent months.

Ethereum’s Censorship Concerns
According to the report, censorship exists at multiple levels within the Ethereum ecosystem. Validators have the power to selectively include or exclude transactions in blocks, while relays can filter blocks based on certain rules. Builders can also choose to omit specific transactions. These layers of censorship raise concerns about the neutrality and decentralization of the blockchain.

Wahrstätter’s report suggests that censorship resistance is crucial for maintaining political neutrality in blockchains. Decentralization is a fundamental principle, as centralization at any layer of the Ethereum stack can potentially harm the entire ecosystem."
