Another excerpt, from @antirez, says he will provide a Hacker News replacement that he will run himself and guarantee personally, with a team of 10 to 20 people across different time zones. Other listed items appear as headlines only, including pieces on agentic payments, prediction markets, and a "$12.6 Trillion Market Moving to Ethereum."
