Ethereum Gave Away Too Much for Too Long. Will Its Pivot Be Enough?

After years of underperformance, Ethereum is trying to change course, from scaling the layer 1 to potentially dumping the EVM. In this episode, Tarun Chitra and Max Resnick break down each of these new changes, analyzing the good, the bad, and the ugly.  Is this a reset that can save Ethereum’s market position and price? Or has the protocol given away too much for too long? They dive into: Whether the gas limit increase changes everything What went wrong with Ethereum’s economics and solo staking politics Max’s view on “the single most important” change Ethereum needs to make How ETH could claw back value from layer 2s What Max would do if he ran Ethereum Whether this pivot is too little, too late

Bits + Bips: Why Warren Buffett's Strategy Would Lose Big Time in Crypto

Crypto doesn’t reward fundamentals. It rewards attention. So what does that say about how investors, like Warren Buffett, would fare today? In this week’s Bits + Bips, the crew dissects what’s really behind this rally, why Ethereum’s sentiment problem may run deeper than roadmap delays, and how the stablecoin bill turned into a political tug of war. Plus: Apple and NFTs: why this matters more than people think Whether tariffs are about politics or actual policy Why Bessent is “the best” in the Trump administration And why Buffett’s era may be ending, with Portnoy rising in his place 😬

Golden Age with Mike Solana (Hyperlegible 008)

Mike Solana is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of Pirate Wires, one of my favorite publications on the whole internet and the only one I read every day. You’ll hear this about a lot of our guests, because this is why I do Hyperlegible, but Mike is one of the best writers doing it today, one of the few whose name in my inbox gives me a little dopamine hit. His writing is unlike anything out there. He’s not afraid to tackle tricky subjects, not afraid to form his own opinion, not afraid to be earnest, and he writes the cover off the ball in a way that feels entirely his. The piece we discuss today, Golden Age, is pure Solana. He starts by copping to having a lovely time in Disney World, before taking us on a tour of Walt Disney’s vision to build a whole futuristic city in the Florida swampland. He talks about why China has been able to execute on Disney’s vision better than America has, and what it would take to build a modern version, what he calls Golden City, a place where houses are cheap and rare earth metals are processed. Go read it: https://www.piratewires.com/p/golden-ageIt makes me nostalgic for this future, and after listening to our conversation and reading Golden Age, I hope you’ll add your voice to the small but mighty chorus calling on President Trump to just give Solana the federal land in California he needs to build this thing. We talked all about this piece and much more, live from The Manhattan Lab in New York City, where Matt Marlinski was nice enough to let us record.At the end of our conversation, Mike makes a couple of recommendations:His favorite of his own essays:Moral Inversion One book everyone should read: There is No Antimemetics Division You can find this and all of the articles we discuss on Hyperlegible in one place thanks to our sponsor, Readwise - Visit readwise.io/hyperlegible for a free trial and get all Hyperlegible articles automatically added to your account.

Gami and Clouted are core contributors from International Meme Fund (IMF) and $MONEY. Their team believes it is now crucial to have native liquidity and financial infrastructure for the meme sector.

With Rate Cuts and Upcoming Elections, What’s the Best Play in Crypto?

The Fed just made its first rate cut in years, slashing 50 basis points off interest rates—but what does this mean for the crypto markets? With Bitcoin lagging behind traditional finance, and the looming U.S. elections, uncertainty is growing. In this episode, Quinn Thompson of Lekker Capital and Travis Kling of Ikigai Asset Management break down the major factors influencing the markets: from Bitcoin’s sluggish summer and the unwinding of the Japan yen carry trade, to why the 2024 elections could be a pivotal moment for crypto. Are these the catalysts we’ve been waiting for, or should we brace for more turbulence ahead? Also, they cover which assets could benefit the most under a Trump administration, and why they believe SOL could have a negative catalyst in the near future.
