the best way to express the “oh jeez, i miss the days when Ethereum was just us cypherpunks here and TradFi wasn’t interested in it”

is to just go build a bunch of wild, insane, permissionless shit with uses ETH as a SoV, not custodial stable coins. NO ONE CAN STOP YOU

and guess what? because of how Ethereum works, now they can’t shut that shit down because they’re going to accept Ethereum as the trustless base layer

they just legitimized the whole thing, lads
