Misha says they entered crypto in 2020 through NFTs, and co-founded Raw DAO and helped start Obscura, Fellowship and Assembly, which is now their American gallery. Their 2021 "generative by nature" photo series, 36 photographs from spring 2021, was released gradually on a self-built marketplace over three months, and a solo show followed at Paris Photo. Their newer "glitch" project, developed with Arod in Brazil, uses 36 GIF animations that degrade with each trade and can be burned for a physical print. ## 2.

Building castles without kings - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Building-castles-without-kings?index=0x67c9c4590f7ed08761de51ea5f1fbc7895638d781ed235146d32b31fce8c602e2fb35726 - Source: https://kanfa.macbudkowski.com/building-castles-without-kings - Submitted by macbudkowski.eth, 7 upvotes, 2 comments The article argues that most people in Ethereum are there for its ideology rather than its technology, and that the community's shared "why and how" (open source, decentralization, freedom to build as one wants) defines its roadmap and products. It says that decentralization makes Ethereum's smart contracts, stablecoins and other apps more secure than alternatives like Tron's, and it urges the community to shift toward consumer adoption and speak about benefits such as stablecoins, Aave lending and prediction markets, not only defensive features like censorship resistance. ## 4.

RPC Market Competitive Landscape - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/RPC-Market-Competitive-Landscape?index=0x67c93d1cf1c610a609ae27091d47aae214bfecfd459d4a7c81a0d5ca0cca80f073cdfa12 - Source: https://kermankohli.substack.com/p/rpc-market-competitive-landscape?isFreemail=true&post_id=158374026&publication_id=5402&r=3rq3o&triedRedirect=true - Submitted by rvolz.eth, 5 upvotes, 2 comments The author argues that the RPC market is inefficient because pricing is hard to compare, and that large providers can raise costs without customers noticing. The article says compute units, which vary by method, chain and provider, plus per-second throughput limits, let providers change prices silently. It states that one customer's RPC providers increased its costs by 5x to 10x over the past year. It also says that routing requests across multiple providers to avoid lock-in adds significant engineering complexity, and that smaller providers are harder to adopt because their performance is unclear. ## 7. @takenstheorem: early ethereum sybil attack discovery from august 2015 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/takenstheorem-early-ethereum-sybil-attack-discovery-from-august-2015?index=0x67c804f3e65f5fbcaeac7233e1b31e167d583efbb1bb3b60ac395553625269c0015944dc - Source: https://xcancel.com/takenstheorem/status/1897133979792556090#m - Submitted by misha, 6 upvotes, 1 comment ## 8.

In 2024, Bitcoin rose from $39K to $106K (2.7x) while Ethereum rose from $2.2K to $4K (1.8x), and the ETH/BTC ratio sits at levels not seen since 2018. After community members @jillrgunter and @divine_economy launched an ETHDenver Brand Hack to crowdsource marketing ideas, the Ethereum Marketing Cabal formed on Telegram. The text contrasts Solana's influencer and meme strategy with Ethereum's approach and notes that running a Solana node requires $1M USD of SOL, compared with $73K for an Ethereum node. ## 11.

The article says more than 100 technical hires taught him how teams come together and eventually led him to build interested.fyi. It lists dozens of crypto organizations he crossed paths with during recruiting, including Optimism, Flashbots, EigenLayer and Celestia. It also says Peeple Work paid the bills while he learned to build. He wrote that he started slow and then optimized for volume. ## 13. ngl Eth Denver was kinda weird this year - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/ngl-Eth-Denver-was-kinda-weird-this-year?index=0x67c616591ee68ed0254c2490f5605ac72eb06dda8b51e06c65120e0e09e7e3f5b56a3ab1 - Source: https://x.com/stableshaman/status/1896300626445045766?s=19&t=3AGliIlr2BzAjEMW6DTbEg - Submitted by macbudkowski.eth, 4 upvotes, 1 comment This satirical post says Eth Denver felt dominated by non-Ethereum projects, with Ethereum nowhere visible on the conference floor. The author describes corporate booths from Polkadot, Avalanche, Binance, Polygon and Hedera, a Vitalik sighting surrounded by Near Protocol developers, and panels on Celestia and Cosmos. The piece is written as a humorous run of events ending with an ambulance sponsored by Chainlink. ## 14. KISS of Death - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/KISS-of-Death?index=0x67c638f6708be9929faa3b5fa5b21212f58900807fb1201bcc29a3a1c1df384221415207 - Source: https://open.substack.com/pub/cryptohayes/p/kiss-of-death?r=3ptcv - Submitted by tim, 4 upvotes, 0 comments The author argues that Trump's administration is financing its America First policies with debt and money printing, and that a recession engineered through spending cuts would push the Federal Reserve under Jerome Powell to cut rates and print money. The article says Scott Bessent, as Treasury Secretary, wants to lengthen the average maturity of US debt, which it describes as a soft default through lower present value. It cites DOGE, led by Elon Musk, as the central effort to shrink government spending quickly, and says the SSA's payments to deceased or unverified individuals could be a target. ## 15. @safe: Investigation Updates and Community Call to Action - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/safe-Investigation-Updates-and-Community-Call-to-Action?index=0x67caa3aab6050210bf9f5d34131dd26645fcdc5d299e4636ded0e9fb33b9096e35dac0be - Source: https://x.com/safe/status/1897663514975649938?s=46 - Submitted by misha, 4 upvotes, 2 comments ## 16.

A panel with Vitalik Buterin and Friederike Ernst explores what happens when Ethereum becomes an economic operating system rather than a single chain. Other speakers include Andreas Tsamados on how AI is accelerating the "ultra-processing" of digital content, Jerome de Tychey on Minimum Viable Issuance, and Jordi Baylina on synchronous composability through real-time zk proving. A separate Logos LAN hackspace in Berlin is also listed as part of the event. ## 18.

Free and Valuable - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Free-and-Valuable?index=0x67c5eace90783ed80b11dc39d02ea3f4cb058ee1a412b5c84f60f729621e01ae03b40e2d - Source: https://jacob.energy/free-valuable.html - Submitted by macbudkowski.eth, 3 upvotes, 0 comments Crypto can solve the internet's longest-standing problem, the tension between free distribution of information and the cost of producing it, by creating a market-based value system for information. Under this proposal, anyone could coin their content, which would then be freely accessible while being traded in open, permissionless markets. Creators would capture value through the coins they own, platforms through showing the right coins to the right people, and consumers through owning coins for content they find valuable. Zora, which says it has spent five years building, states its mission as building this free and valuable internet.
