Bitcoin $BTC is a decentralized asset, Ethereum $ETH is a decentralized experiment, Solana $SOL is a decentralized company
ETH has had several historical surges: ICO, DeFi, NFT, none of which were planned by Vitalik and the foundation, but rather came from grassroots innovation
SOL has had several historical surges: DeFi, NFT, Meme, the first two learned from Ethereum, and the last one received support from core ecological positions like Jupiter, and Toly also enjoys retweeting meme-related posts
Additionally, the Solana Foundation is deeply involved in core projects, with Toly, Raj, and Lilyliu appearing as advisors in multiple projects, while the Ethereum ecosystem does not seem to operate this way
Of course, what we've discussed above are facts, not a comparison of superiority. In this round, applications with good user experiences are indeed more on Solana
My own takeaway is that each ecosystem has its own genes, and you shouldn't expect B to behave like A
If you care about Ethereum, you should delve deeper into the community and developers; if you care about Solana, you should focus more on the directions promoted by the foundation
Conflict of interest: holding both ETH and Sol, and the positions have fallen to the same level 😅
Sharing an interesting solution for the world of multi-chain: Initia
Taking advantage of the election victory, let me share an interesting solution for the world of multi-chain. Previously, I shared the Particle Network chain abstraction solution, Universal Account, which creates a Layer to integrate liquidity from multiple chains, allowing users to focus on assets without worrying too much about cross-chain issues. Recently completing a $14 million financing round, Initia's ambitions are greater: enabling applications to launch chains with one click, thereby creating 'iOS for Web3.' What does iOS for Web3 specifically mean? Simply put, just like iOS/Apple, the 'chain abstraction' solution implemented by Initia builds a vertically integrated tech stack that includes both L1 + L2. Each Dapp application can correspond to an L2 application chain. Initia achieves smooth interoperability (especially asset liquidity) between L2 application chains and L1 by operating this L1, aiming to create a complete ecosystem to welcome the future multi-chain world.
🎙️Building on-chain proofs on TON and Telegram to accelerate the arrival of Network State w/ Sign Co-founder YanXin
About this issue With 900 million users, Telegram has become the fastest growing blockchain this year. In the past two months, we have launched three articles around TON, including the AI applet TypoX on tg and the new game OUTA by Little Ghost, as well as an interview note with Telegram founder Pavel Durov (to help us better understand the past and present of Telegram and TON). Since the TON ecosystem is quite different from $ETH and $SOL , there have been constant controversies in the past few months. How to view TON more comprehensively? So we invited YanXin, the co-founder of Sign, to share his thoughts.
33 Blinks usages at a glance: tipping, sending red envelopes, issuing coins, rebates, subscriptions, voting... Turn Twitter into your Crypto playground
It’s been 20 days since Solana released Blinks, and we’ve seen a lot of Blinks use cases emerge, rewarding creators, improving interaction efficiency, and other interesting ways to play. The most intuitive function of Blinks is to “reduce redirects”. Friends who have worked on products know that reducing one step of redirects will at least double the conversion rate, and vice versa. In specific user scenarios, I think Blinks has three meanings: On a micro level, Blinks greatly shortens the distance between creators and fans, helping creators monetize; it also improves the efficiency of various on-chain interactions;
Telegram founder: Taking "freedom of speech" as his mission, considering Musk as his comrade-in-arms, and building a profit model based on TON
When I was discussing the TON ecosystem with Yan Xin last week, he recommended that I must watch the interview that Telegram founder Pavel Durov had with Tucker Carlson this year (a rare 3-hour face-to-face interview). After watching it, you can deeply understand Telegram's mission and the value of $TON to Telegram, and why he wants to bullish the $TON ecosystem, because $TON is indeed an indispensable part of Telegram. So I watched this interview again, and indeed I had a deeper understanding of Telegram and Ton:
If you have a friend who wants to learn about Web3 and blockchain

Since the Second Dragon reared its head in February, the price of Bitcoin has continued to reach new all-time highs. Friends around me started to inquire one after another, wanting to systematically understand web3/encryption/blockchain, and some have even been doing transactions for a while. Frankly speaking, there is a lot of mixed information in this industry, and you really need to understand that the threshold for learning is not low at all. Therefore, in line with the principle of being responsible to my friends and not being able to stump them all at once, I recommend 1-2 books published in the past year.
Thousand Words Instructions: 4 Steps to Build a Personal Brand (Based on Twitter and Newsletter)
Thanks to Brother Ying for the invitation. Everyone forms their own personal brand on social media. I hope this article will be helpful to everyone. "Personal brand building" is one of the main directions of our Web3Brand research. On the one hand, we firmly believe in the value of personal brand, and at the same time, Web3 and AI dual-empower it; on the other hand, we build our own Twitter account and Web3Brand Newsletter, which is a In the process of continuous learning and practice. From July last year to now, I have continued to output 50+ in-depth content in my spare time. My Twitter followers have grown from less than 400 to the current 2.20,000, and the number of Web3Brand Newsletter subscriptions is also growing. During this process, I also met and had deep connections with many builders/founders. Many further discussions also improved my own knowledge and also brought some small business opportunities.
#Web3 #btc I have used damus for a while. To be honest, the threshold for using it is quite high and the current experience is rough. Once the social network of ordinary people is formed, it is difficult to migrate, and it will certainly not be able to subvert it in a short period of time.
But just like Bitcoin back then, these four main features of censorship resistance + encryption + anonymity + decentralization will give an outlet for those needs that cannot be met elsewhere. Remember the Silk Road?
Now that BTC payment has been integrated, there is a high probability that there will be its own token in the future.
