🪙 Vitalik Buterin believes Ethereum should support applications as tools — like a hammer: you buy it, and it’s yours, independent of the provider, updates, or risks of shutdown, hacks, or rent extraction.
To achieve this, Ethereum needs full quantum resistance, a scalable architecture, a state model designed for decades, a proper gas schedule, a universal account model (full abstraction, moving beyond strict ECDSA dependency), a robust PoS economic model, and decentralized, censorship-resistant block construction.
Buterin emphasizes that at least one of these goals — preferably several — should be implemented every year.

🪙 17 years ago, on January 12, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto sent the first Bitcoin transaction to Hal Finney.
Finney said that Satoshi’s identity was a mystery to him — he believed he was communicating with “a young man of Japanese origin, very intelligent and sincere.”
Reflecting on his experience in 2014, Finney later regretted his initial lack of interest in BTC:
After a few days, Bitcoin was running fairly stably, so I stayed online. Those were the days when the difficulty was 1, and you could mine on a CPU. Over the next days I mined a few blocks, but then I turned off my computer because it was getting hot and the fan noise was annoying.

💰 Yield-bearing stablecoins could turn into “shadow banking” because for users they look like regular deposits and even pay interest, while operating without strict banking oversight, JPMorgan says.
Therefore, the bank supports limiting stablecoin yields so they do not replace deposits without full regulatory control.

🇺🇸 Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said that Donald Trump’s administration caused more harm to the crypto industry than the Biden era.

🖥 A miner said that with 27 ASIC machines his current revenue is about $4800 per month (0.053019 BTC), while net profit after electricity and hosting costs is just over $1000.
Over 3.5 years, mining delivered a result comparable to simply buying BTC, but he continues to mine following a mine & hold strategy.
According to him, the main bet is on rising transaction fees and higher equipment prices during a bull market.

This current momentum reverses the trend from the second half of 2025, when the market favored Zcash while Monero faced technical and reputational challenges.

🇬🇱 Greenland is being considered as a potential key mining hub, says Andrew Tate.
Washington is increasing its political focus on the island, aiming to leverage its cold climate and low-cost energy to reduce BTC mining expenses. This could allow the U.S. to accumulate Bitcoin at below-market costs and gain a strategic advantage.
If implemented, such a project could impact global BTC supply and shift the balance of power in the crypto market.
