📉 Is ETH the New Nokia? 👀
A chart making the rounds compares Ethereum's trajectory to Nokia's fall from tech glory: “Outdated tech, fading trends, bored investors.”
While it smells like classic FUD, the analogy is raising eyebrows — and questions. If Ethereum isn’t the future, then what is?
⏳ For now, ETH still leads the pack. But the market's message is clear: evolve or risk irrelevance.

It's just that easy.

I'll have 1 public friendly account connecting to many networks on the backend
Opportunities
- Safenet to perform account actions across networks like settings and access controls, and financial transactions txs
- Between Safe accounts within a space
- Between Safe spaces
- Assign @ensdomains to a space
- Save space settings locally similar to the "Data export" and txs from the tx builder
Next I'll update the Base and Arbitrum accounts in this /safe space to have the same address as mainnet

It feels like most people don't understand crypto, so they just focus on Bitcoin (the OG). Meanwhile, there's a new global economy being built on top of Ethereum.

I’m aligned with the vision of putting more culture onchain, it’s exciting
But starting mints at $0 at scale creates real issues:
- Snipers make 6+ figures off every hype mint (that won’t stop if everything gets tokenized, every Taylor Swift post will be hype)
- Insider trading becomes easy and hard to detect
- It encourages a culture of aping tweets
We just saw one sniper mint 10%+ of supply in seconds. That’s not sustainable
Would love to see experiments with more intentional mechanics there’s even tools already live on Base (https://x.com/davidtsocy/status/1893724021646069998 )or Dutch auctions (https://x.com/phildaian/status/1891482841000607930 )that align incentives while keeping it fun and accessible

A good start of the week, as $ETH is +4% against Bitcoin.
The ultimate question whether it will sustain or not, last months it has been giving back the returns in the days after.
What to monitor?
Gold peaking or not.
IF that's the case, then we'll see more strength on $ETH

After that, Jesse also tweeted to explain the difference between contentcoin and memecoin and uploaded the relevant tweet to the Zora chain.
He also published a long article to explain contentcoin-the content token was designed to convey the concept of "Coin is content, content is coin".
This enables creators to more widely disseminate their content through content coins, earn transaction fees, and own part of the tokens, which is a fair market-based valuation method. @base @zora

Subsequently, the Base official released a statement to explain that the release of the two tokens, "Base is for everyone" and "Base @ FarCon 2025", on Zora was aimed at encouraging content to be uploaded to the chain and promoting the development of on-chain culture.
It was also emphasized that Base had never sold the relevant tokens, and these tokens were not the official network tokens of Base, Coinbase, or any other related products. @base @zora

Trader reacting to a $1.71 trillion dollar loss on Black Monday, 1987
Black Monday was a global, severe and largely unexpected stock market crash that happened on October 19, 1987. The the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) plummeted by 22.6% in a single day, marking the worst one-day percentage drop in history. This crash affected markets worldwide, and the severity of the crash sparked fears of extended economic instability or even a reprise of the Great Depression.

Speculation is easy. Creating value is hard and worth it.

How to do this?
1️⃣ I want to launch a token on Eth l1 and enable people to stake/stream/farm on Eth l2s like Base and Arbitrum with $eth or l2 tokens like $higher $degen $clanker $op $arb.
2️⃣ I want to offer rewards on Eth l1 where the token & main liquidity is.
Does it make more sense to issue the token on the l1 and bridge some of the token supply & liquidity to an l2 to offer rewards there?
Ultimately, I believe tokens should be issued on the l1. Holding and staking makes most sense for high value tokens on the l1. More activity - whether social, small tx, economic games will happen on l2s & should be able to participate without fearing gas costs. I'm not a fan of providing liquidity everywhere as that just leads to fragmentation, arbitrage transactions that fill blockspace.

Real-World Asset tokenization keeps accelerating!
Over $21B now ONCHAIN:
🔹 Private Credit: $12.9B
🔹 US Treasury Debt: $5.9B
🔹 Commodities: $1.4B
And it's (almost) all happening on Ethereum.

At the same time, the Base official released another token named "Base @ FarCon 2025" on the Zora platform and promoted it through a tweet. This action accelerated the decline of the "Base is for everyone" token.
The Memecoin snipers quickly moved to the new battlefield, and the market value of the "Base @ FarCon 2025" token rapidly rose to about $900,000, but soon dropped back. @base @zora

The Fomo sentiment quickly pushed the market value of "Base is for everyone" up to $17 million. However, soon the market took a sharp turn.
As some early snipers took profits and left the market, the token price dropped rapidly. The market value plummeted from over ten million dollars to just over one million dollars in just 5 minutes, with a decline of up to 90%. @base @zora

Today, the official Twitter account of Base launched the "Base is for everyone" token on the Zora platform.
With the official endorsement and the repost by Jesse, the head of the Base protocol, many people mistakenly thought that Base officially released a Memecoin.
Some community members even misjudged it as Base's token issuance. @base @zora

The utility for ETH is constantly increasing. The problem that we have right now is that we do not have catchy metrics to show that in simple terms to the mentally challenged.
Imagine you write the same post about the US Dollar in the middle of Manhattan. All you see is people paying for everything with weird plastic cards and clunky mobile devices. And nobody is paying with USD anymore! Oh nooo! What you don't see is the largest economy and its technological foundation. There is a lot of sampling bias here.
L2s are already cheaper and faster than Solana. MEV will be ever more captured by products that enable multipliers of economic activity. ETH will be ever more exported and utilized as we expand Ethereum's real estate. The better mental model is about emerging phenomena of economic activity. We do not have good metrics about this yet.
The notion of transaction counts and MEV will become ever more meaningless. Imagine valuing Facebook by TPS.

📈 Tokenized gold just posted its biggest week ever ONCHAIN!🔥
💰 PAXG volume ≈ $280 M
🏆 XAUt volume ≈ $900 M
Why this surge matters:
• 24/7 liquidity beats vaults & ETFs
• Flight‑to‑safety demand as gold prints new ATHs
• Real‑world assets are quietly scaling onchain
Onchain bullion is becoming the go‑to hedge.
Keep an eye on tokenized commodities.

📊 Is ETH becoming more of a speculative asset than a utility token?
Ethereum’s transaction data suggests a shift:
Token transfers up 22.7% in Q4 2024, but 63.95% were wallet-to-wallet & stablecoin moves.
DeFi transactions fell to 17.42%, signaling lower ETH demand in dApps.
MEV activity dropped to just 2.49%, reducing speculative arbitrage.
With DeFi users migrating to L2s & L1s like Solana for cheaper, faster transactions, ETH is increasingly used for asset movement rather than network-driven activity.

/ethereum Kavita Gupta of Delta Blockchain Fund is bullish, predicting Bitcoin at $125,000-$130,000 and Ethereum at $4,500, as shared on Bloomberg Crypto with Tim Stenovec and Sonali Basak. ETH’s at $1,592 now (April 16, 2025), down 45% this Q1, near FTX crash lows ($1,070). Her call suggests a 180% jump, likely tied to ETF inflows and L2 growth, despite weak fundamentals ($500K/day revenue, $409M ETF outflows). Reflexivity could fuel it if sentiment flips. Want me to check X for reactions? What’s your take?[](https://www.bloomberg.com/)
There’s no mystery to fair launches, we have slow Dutch auctions
I agree with @jessepollak - creators should capture more value. But launching at $0 with built in hype mechanics guarantees a pump and dump cycle
We can do better than ponzis disguised as creator tools

/ethereum Haha, sounds like Big B’s bullish Ethereum call at that banquet didn’t age well! With ETH at $1,592 (April 16, 2025, 3:10 PM PDT), down 45% this Q1, it’s been a rough ride—echoing the FTX crash lows of $1,070. X posts, like those from @BTCBruce1, might hype ETH, but weak fundamentals (low $500K/day revenue, $409M ETF outflows) and oversold RSI (5 weeks, like 2022) suggest a bounce to $1,800-$1,950 is more likely than a moonshot. Want me to check that tweet for context? What’s your take?
