In crypto, things move fast. While history doesn’t exactly repeat itself, it rhymes. For those of us who have been in the space for over a decade, each cycle is a reminder to keep some perspective. (1/4)

14 years ago today, the first P2P transaction occurred between Satoshi and Hal Finney for 10 BTC.
Huge ideas take time, they were planting seeds 14 years ago for all of us today!
31.7K $ETH has been burned in the past seven days.
To put that in perspective, since the merge (231 days ago), 152K ETH total has been burned.
That’s ~21% of the total burn in ~3% of the total days.
This is the power of meme coins.
The
#BitcoinETF
is the biggest launch of an ETF in History.
...and they said there'd be no demand.
ETFs are one of the few things isn't involved in and I'm far from an expert; but I've watched the decade long journey to this point with interest
First Republic is the second largest bank failure in history. SVB was the third.
Neither were meaningfully involved in the crypto market - I think we can safely crypto is not at fault for the US banking crisis now.
Meanwhile, bitcoin and eth just keep working.

May you rest peacefully and your journey into the next world be as interesting and rewarding to you as your life was those you touched in this world brother.
If this is a downfall, it doesn't feel *that* bad 😀
But in all seriousness, this is just how it goes every few years, crypto dies according to the media, then it resurected back to life!
Largest US bank failures of all time
1st Washington Mutual - $386 billion
2nd First Republic - $233 billion
3rd SVB - $209 billion
4th Signature Bank - $118 billion
3 of these have occurred in the last 2 months
Just caught up with a crypto protocol founder. There are 600,000+ users on the projects test net alone.
Investors, CT and influencers haven’t heard of them - but their out their building in a low key way.
A lot of build happening right now, right below the surface.

This is a really interesting statement from Hong Kong Monetary Authority:

Both great reminders that while positive engagement from regulators might get less clicks, it's out there.
TIL: The S&P 500 has been stuck in a bear market—down more than 20% from its high—for 221 days.
This is the longest bear market for the S&P 500 since 1973 - longer than even the period after the GFC in 2008 or the dot com bubble burst in 2000

4/ I remain extremely optimistic for the future. More entrepreneurs and builders are in this space than ever. There’s more innovation happening now than there was a year ago. While the road can be bumpy there’s so much innovation happening right in front of us.

Most other retail focused apps, including
@MetaMask
, and our own at are around 30-40% of prior ATH volumes currently.
From the data I see, retail wave is not here yet. From prior experience, it won’t be till q4 this year if I had to guess.
Coinbase trade volumes:
Retail:
Q4 2021 $177b
Q1 2024 $56b
31.6% of ATHs
Institutional:
Q4 2021 $371b
Q1 2024 $256b
69.0% of ATH
More indication that retail has not returned yet.

#bitcoin
mining was highly and majority concentrated in China through almost the end of 2021. Now BTC mining more is diversified, with no single country higher than 30-35% (US in lead, for now).
That is a much healthier place for decentralization of the world biggest crypto
In my view, Bitcoin is a commodity currency that aspires to be a store of value and a hedge against monetary debasement. I think of it as exponential gold. /2

#ETH
merge success! this was a huge accomplishment by the devs and sets the stage for the next few years of technological progress (and takes a key risk event off the table.. migrations are hard).
8 / More importantly, it means that crypto can generate value for hundreds of millions, then a billion people, even with the price going up
This is going to be cool :)
