Adams argues that Arbitrum is good for ETH, citing three points: it generates revenue in ETH by reselling Ethereum blockspace, it holds the fourth largest ETH treasury in the L2 category, and it provides users near-Ethereum-level property rights, ranking highest on the L2 beat. The post notes that the revenue has just passed 1k ETH through Timeboost, a new block ordering auction system. It also credits Arbitrum with bringing Robinhood into the Ethereum ecosystem and with a development team scaling EVM technology and Ethereum L1 clients. ## 2. @RyanSAdams: ETH under $5k despite 4 years of Saylor-level buying in 40 days - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/RyanSAdams-ETH-under-dollar5k-despite-4-years-of-Saylor-level-buying-in-40-days?index=0x68a4b0578abc472b05998ac98434df26a346de608f3cb3159d9371f1bd7e7a7eb166fddc - Source: https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1957849710678384977 - Shared 19 August 2025, 4 upvotes, 1 comment ## 3.

Adams argues that governments are pushing AML/KYC requirements onto the app layer, requiring citizens to submit biometrics and IDs to every third party that asks for them. He asks whether governments could at least mandate zero-knowledge solutions that let users prove their identity without handing it to every corporation. He calls the outcome an absolute privacy nightmare and a surveillance state with broken security, and says a digital civil rights act is needed now. ## 5. PSA: Don't keep crypto at home in the age of wrench attacks - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/PSA-Dont-keep-crypto-at-home-in-the-age-of-wrench-attacks?index=0x697a718b76f24c0e95ce49aaecb1dbf240b1969a672b07bc877c702764e3efd6bc835f44 - Source: https://x.com/ryansadams/status/2016572587363520933?s=12 - Shared 28 January 2026, 3 upvotes, 0 comments Crypto investors working in public should keep zero crypto at home, according to the article's author, who says security professionals recommend no more than $1k in crypto accessible from home. The article says wrench attacks on leaked crypto holders are still rare but real, and that data leaks, AI tools, criminal sophistication and weak onchain privacy will likely make physical attacks worse before they improve. It recommends multisig wallets, time-locked vaults, custodians like Unchained, bank safe deposit boxes, and exchange settings requiring 48 hours to whitelist new withdrawal addresses. It also suggests keeping addresses private and says Vitalik is intentionally public about his multisig setup as a signal that attackers can't get anything from him. ## 6. @RyanSAdams: Bankless enters second era, I'm taking backseat role - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/RyanSAdams-Bankless-enters-second-era-Im-taking-backseat-role?index=0x6a0e966efcce8842ff57f2b79dddd471963e3f7e21e9ab750a479c821dcb20944a3d076e - Source: https://x.com/ryansadams/status/2057216981368221776?s=12 - Shared 21 May 2026, 2 upvotes, 0 comments Ryan Sadams announced on X that the first era of Bankless has concluded and the podcast has entered a second era in which he takes a backseat role. He describes the first era as a six year collaboration between him and David, exploring crypto, DeFi, and maximizing Ethereum. In the new arrangement, Sadams says he will still host the weekly pod but will step back from content direction and guest interviews, while David has the helm. He says he remains bullish on ETH and on Bankless. ## 7. Fidelity ETH report values ETH as store of value for emerging economy - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Fidelity-ETH-report-values-ETH-as-store-of-value-for-emerging-economy?index=0x6871455bb16ed037a5b730e582dfaa6240932508b0a2d890ac72322cbbb7da27f0cc8bf2 - Source: https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1942742550982373816 - Shared 11 July 2025, 2 upvotes, 0 comments ## 8. ETH will never earn fees - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/ETH-will-never-earn-fees?index=0x69b55bceffc4101ce2624b4a41ab87fbbde32a2fd1ee265e12da6f9daf07c19f2e7efa94 - Source: https://x.com/ryansadams/status/2032509517229895823?s=12 - Shared 14 March 2026, 1 upvote, 0 comments The author argues that ETH will not earn meaningful fees for a long time, because Ethereum's roadmap plans to massively expand blockspace supply. Justin Drake's gigagas target in five years is cited as a 200x increase, and the author says fees only arise when demand exceeds supply, so low fees should be expected during this expansion. The author concludes that ETH should be valued as an emerging commodity money, like gold, silver, oil and bitcoin, which together are cited as worth $170 trillion, rather than as a fee-generating asset. ## 9. @RyanSAdams: ETH run just getting started with institutional buy pressure - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/RyanSAdams-ETH-run-just-getting-started-with-institutional-buy-pressure?index=0x6878e545252602d6629aa82cdf78fbcb13ad62c18a83d18f1d506cd084a9cb29743cce89 - Source: https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1945813927721373874 - Shared 17 July 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments ## 10. @RyanSAdams: ETH Q2 report shows stablecoin dominance with $137B on L1 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/RyanSAdams-ETH-Q2-report-shows-stablecoin-dominance-with-dollar137B-on-L1?index=0x68754ae3f2f8b93fa8db4efc9fb9d7d51087777d0a1fd48f6eb1a2cf519147d8ae795339 - Source: https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1944824244602315239 - Shared 14 July 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments ## 11.

Bitcoin's social layer, not its SHA-256 hashing, is credited with turning BTC into a $2 trillion store of value, and Coinbase is urged to add 250,000 ETH to its balance sheet. Stablecoins could run on Tron and RWAs on Solana, so Ethereum-grade decentralization matters mainly for ETH itself, which is said to gain scarcity as each use burns part of it. ETH is currently worth 11% of BTC's value. ## 14. @RyanSAdams: Cheering @VivekVentures testifying to congress about Ethereum - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/RyanSAdams-Cheering-VivekVentures-testifying-to-congress-about-Ethereum?index=0x684043ac88f95a1a61138a9910fe249e83bb82f7add53b04e0a3699e2b4940e003e0f4d3 - Source: https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1930233091148099669 - Shared 4 June 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments ## 15. @RyanSAdams: Stablecoins are the trojan horse to massive Ethereum adoption - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/RyanSAdams-Stablecoins-are-the-trojan-horse-to-massive-Ethereum-adoption?index=0x68302a560c16a7d4d9169744197da09e0558b00b049fe9dd556426ea1b59188baf8adbf3 - Source: https://vxtwitter.com/RyanSAdams/status/1925547098289692877 - Shared 23 May 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments Ryan S. Adams argues that stablecoins are a trojan horse for massive Ethereum adoption. He predicts the U.S. Senate will pass the GENIUS stablecoin act next week, after which trillions in stablecoin issuance will follow as fintech firms, banks and social media companies move into the market. He expects this to drive adoption of smart-contract wallets and bring hundreds of millions of new users to Ethereum and its L2s, with stablecoins serving as payment money and ETH as the store of value. ## 16. surveillance state over DAOs - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/surveillance-state-over-DAOs?index=0x66ccc71ae338dc454885ce9498f5ed966c3c30fd9d3d0468db0d06a183fdb056a2808ed8 - Source: https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1828117816278732849 - Shared 26 August 2024, 1 upvote, 0 comments Reporting rules for U.S. LLC owners are presented as evidence that the surveillance state will not allow DAOs, and that the state wants control rather than innovation, efficiency, freedom, or progress. Starting this year, all U.S. LLCs must report each owner's name, date of birth, and government ID number to FinCEN, or face $500 per day plus possible jail time. The requirement is described as part of a 2021 law, effective in 2024, meant to "stop illicit activities," and as creating a mega database of everyone who owns everything. Optimism about crypto and nation-state progress is described as having declined. ## 17. A few things about crypto - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/A-few-things-about-crypto?index=0x6544f54750263a641e4301f60e847392a6767e08d375262bd41e369826074351958f1006 - Source: https://twitter.com/RyanSAdams/status/1719928556145275054?s=19&t=hEBEtm0ElzhdM7N0jFGS2A - Shared 3 November 2023, 1 upvote, 0 comments Crypto is a social technology, comparable to the nation state or joint stock company rather than to ordinary inventions like the toaster. Bitcoin will eventually be overtaken, as calculators were by PCs, because it lacks programmable blockspace, and programmable blockchains matter because they support trading, lending, and minting beyond simple transfers. Decentralization's real benefit is corruption resistance, blockchains earn value by selling block space and ordering, and only the most decentralized chains can earn monetary premium over decades, with BTC and ETH holding a strong lead.
