  • From J0E007:

    @TylerDurden “Ethereum staking” is a marketing ploy to suck greedy ETHtard plebs into useless “2.0” and trap their ETH there forever while insiders, whales and Eth Foundation gang unload premine riches of ETH 1.0 without retail competition. Wicked clever, just like other ETH scams.

  • From iamDCinvestor:

    The difference between what some folks call “.eth shills” versus actual-token-shills is that we don’t just love $ETH, we love Ethereum.We really use it everyday, and we’re hyper-aware of the panoply of apps emerging on it.That’s why we saw “DeFi” coming, well over a year ago.

  • From Justin_Bons:

    When I joined Bitcoin in 2013, there was a great desire for decentralized applications over BTCSpeculation ran wild around the possibilities, predicting most of what exists todayDeFi was always an early dream of BitcoinNow this dream is being fully achieved over Ethereum

As for a news story related to Ethereum getting some buzz:

Simpler Ethereum sync: Major/minor state snapshots, blockchain files, receipt files – Eth1.x Research – Ethereum Research

It should be possible to organise the state database as an overlay, where actively modifiable state “sits” on top of the immutable snapshot file….Anytime we try to read anything from the state, we look up in the modifiable state, and if not found there, we look up in the snapshot file (that means that snapshot file needs to have an index in it)….The second approach to syncing (from recent state snapshot) still requires executing at most 1m blocks….If it is too much to ask to run through at most 1m worth of blocks, we can introduce minor snapshots, or “booster” snapshots that would need to be downloaded on top of the most recent major snapshot….For example, if we make major snapshots every 1m blocks (~6 months), we could make minor snapshots every 100k blocks (~18 days).
