As the market drops, an #EthereumOG# who made $30.5M(803x return) is buying the dip on $ETH! 10 years ago, this OG received 11,005 $ETH from ShapeShift at just $3.46 each. Over a year ago, he sold them for 30.56M $USDC at $2,777, making $30.5M in profit - an 803x return. Today, after $ETH fell, he started buying again. So far, he has spent 4.26M $USDC to buy 1,951 $ETH at $2,182, and he may keep buying.

Ethereum txs reaching ATH due to address poisoning attacks. Every time the gas limit is raised and tx fees go down, it costs less to 'dust' a wallet. For example, after Fusaka, sub-$0.01 dust txs increased by 600%. Etherscan reported that Ethereum address poisoning succeeds about 0.01% of the time: 1 in 10,000 transfers tricks a user into sending funds to an attacker. Actually, Ethereum might benefit from RAISING fees as they it makes address poisoning attacks more expensive and it burns more $ETH.

Ethereum's brain drain just turned into a manifesto Former EF researcher Dankrad Feist (@dankrad), the cryptographer behind Danksharding and now at Stripe and Paradigm's Tempo, says the only way to save Ethereum is to build a new organization "economically aligned with Ethereum and accountable to it." His ask: $1 billion to start, a leader who wants to fight, an accountable board, and permanent staking-revenue funding. His critique cuts: the Ethereum Foundation now holds less than 0.1% of all ethereum:native and gets no flow of staking or fee revenues. The new EF mandate centers on censorship resistance, open source, privacy, and security. Not growth. Eight senior EF researchers have left in 2026, five in May alone. ethereum:native trades near $2,100 with a $257B market cap, badly trailing bitcoin:native and solana:So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112. Laura Shin and others echo the same complaint: ideology over competitiveness. Is Ethereum's institutional layer up for the fight, or does the community build its own?

ETHEREUM IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT NETFLIX DID BEFORE IT EXPLODED. Nobody saw it coming then. Nobody sees it coming now. Years trapped in a range. Tested six times. Everyone gave up. Then hundreds of percent higher. Same compression. Same frustration. Same crowd walking away. The assets most uncomfortable at the bottom… Are the ones most regretted at the top. ETH isn't broken. It's loading.
