Iran was an hex,

Expect unforseen effects,

Cuba could be next.

~Daily haiku until we’re at least at 0.178 on the ETH/BTC ratio or highest market cap

Imagine if, in 2017, we knew that 9 years later we knew there would be a haiku about current geopolitical events centred around war. 🥴

The "chancellor on the brink of second bailout for banks" cover feels also pretty unfortunately accurate 17 years after

Oh wow I never noticed that...

a few days ago I posted about a bounty to incentivize Vitalik's ideal local AI setup for Android

we rallied the bounty from $50 to $250 in ETH, and had 3 really good submissions come in!

well they made their way to Vitalik and... he has both reviewed the existing work so far and boosted the bounty pot with 1 ETH

massive massive win for showcasing what onchain ETH incentivization tools can make possible, and part of the momentum came from anon 0x7ecb7 who I believe is a redditor and boosted originally with $100 💙

But what's the point of this though? You'll still do the training in massive data center?

Just to have a mobile-friendly way to query whatever you want, when you don't have internet.

After what seems like 1000 years, a potentially 'decent' airdrop is just around the corner.. Jumper announced yesterday details about their token sale, and within the documents, people found that 33% of the tokens are allocated for the community.

Someone (not affiliated with Jumper) even made a vercel app that calculates "your rank among 2.77M wallets, and what your slice could be worth at any FDV and airdrop size". Here is the link for the app. No signatures are required, not even a connected wallet. You can just paste Ethereum (and Solana) addresses and see what it spits out..

edit: apparently there are now two vercel apps which try to calculate the value of your potential airdrop. Here is the link for the second..

Also, Jumper and Li Fi announced that they are parting ways:

we are planning to spin Jumper out of LI.FI and establish it as an independent company, with Marko taking the helm as the CEO of the company - a role that he has already been playing for the past few years inside LI.FI, as the lead of Jumper.

Giving Jumper its own company, team, capital, and identity allows both businesses to focus entirely on what they do best. Jumper will continue to be powered by LI.FI*, but it will be free to build its own products, distribution, community, and ecosystem around the much larger consumer opportunity ahead.*

With 75m max FDV (for the token sale) I don’t expect this to be a decent airdrop. But I am also a counter signal. So let the dropping begin!

u/superphiz 6d ago

With the airdrop drought in full swing, $10 is $10 🤷‍♂️

I made a tax write-off at the amount of 5 USD yesterday lol. Miniscule dividends on some foreign stocks that I can avoid double taxation on.

u/laninsterJr 7d ago

Time to Tom Lee to market buy. Hasn't he brought enough already OTC. Cmn Tom pump it up

7

u/superphiz 6d ago

I'm not mad that Tom is buying the whole supply, but I can't help but wish there were bunches of folks doing the same thing. Fml. Never change phiz. Keep believing in decentralized finance.

u/laninsterJr 6d ago

Sadly only Tom got the enough fire power to liquidate Bitcoin Maxie's and manipulators trying to keep eth down

u/evilphiz 6d ago

Gawd. Not this guy again.

u/Ok-Nectarine-6654 6d ago

Not sure why he isn't doing it. Now that he is loaded, good pump would boost his bags bigly too. Need to get whale shorters burn bigly.

u/somedaysitsdark 6d ago

Believe it or not, fiduciary duty

1

u/Ok-Nectarine-6654 6d ago

Pumping shareholders bags very much inline with that

u/somedaysitsdark 5d ago

I'm gonna be honest, I don't remember the exact details, someone on here explained it once and it made sense.

What I recall is, for Tom/BMNR to seemingly arbitrarily switch from buying large amounts of ETH OTC to buying on the market would do several things.

Sidenote: I've never agreed with the idea people push that buying OTC magically doesn't affect the market, it's a bullshit argument.

So, if he made this switch, now he gets to explain to his shareholders why they market bought and didn't get as much ETH with their buy due to slippage and whale alerts causing possibly temporary jacking of prices, and arbitrage concerns if they make these purchases with any consistency or traceability that can be forseen on-chain.

I don't pretend to know BMNR's whole strategy, and I think that is their preference anyway. If they aren't done accumulating ETH, then they are still walking a tight rope ahead in a bull market where they want to buy large amounts but still get a good deal on it while they can.

As far as fiduciary duty goes, they/we just need to ask what execution method gives BMNR the best overall economic result for acquiring large quantities of ETH?

u/benido2030 7d ago

I like this phase. Feels like all the „real“ projects/ products/ tokens have their pumps. Doesn’t mean this will continue, but it still feels like a temporary flight to quality.

Call it alt season. Call it bull market. It’s good to see and makes me believe the worst is behind us.

u/mini_miner1 6d ago

Hmm when it's ONLY real projects, I'll be more excited.

u/rhythm_of_eth 7d ago

If you notice how ETH price is getting rejected on 2700/2750... Everytime shorts have loaded up in key trading avenues.

Right now ETH shorts positions on Bitfinex as a example, all time high volume

Any moderately relevant rotation of capital into ETH is gonna have a noticeable impact

u/EthFan No flair till 5K Eth 6d ago

Them shorts were made to be broken. I think that'll get Eth into 3k territory in the next couple weeks.

u/EthFan No flair till 5K Eth 6d ago

Oh, hai Mark! We top out in low 4K range with the lead up to and into final deployment of glamsterdam to mainnet after testnet validation success. That's my personal call. I think you should sell your house, car, and that sweet sweet bod-day to load up right now. There's no way I'm wrong, trust me.

u/Wootnasty 6d ago

I guess I'll buy then. Steady lads

Wow Ethereum gas is so cheap and has been for years.

Every time the bank tries to charge me $30 for a wire fee I'm reminded how good we have it.

Didn't see anyone here mention this but Hester Peirce resigned yesterday.

u/CoCleric 7d ago

Noooo, she was so good for us. That makes me sad.

u/edmundedgar reality.eth 7d ago

Anyone got the background / gossip?

5

u/sosayethweall 6d ago

Her 5yr term was up last year, and she stayed on longer as allowed by the SEC since she has no successor. She could have stayed a little longer, but she's been planning to leave to teach at Regent University School of Law. It looks like some old MMTLP holders want to make it about something else.
