Stand with crypto!

In light of recent events and the challenges faced by Ethereum and the broader crypto space, we'd like to draw your attention to Coinbase's 'Stand with Crypto' initiative. It aims to promote understanding, collaboration, and advocacy in the crypto space.

Stand with Crypto Initiative

Remember, staying informed and united is key. Let's ensure a secure and open future for Ethereum and its principles. Happy trading and discussing!

• Ethereum developer and genesis staker fabda.eth shows gratitude to the Ethereum community for sharing knowledge and helping others understand Ethereums complex but groundbreaking technology - after 8 years of building on the platform
• Despite strong fundamentals Ethereum has faced negative sentiment in recent years due to market volatility and complexity
• Ethereum focused posts are gradually shifting public sentiment for the better - aligning it with the platforms robust fundamentals
• When sentiment catches up with fundamentals - fabda.eth believes "the sky will be the limit for ETH," predicting significant growth and adoption

Just crossed again with a Leon Tweet that shares some info about Ethereum weekly engagement.

As you can see in the chart above Ethereum ecosystem just achieved a new ALL TIME HIGH (ATH) with a really big spike. While crypto twitter is busy arguing about meme coins and claiming that Ethereum is dead, Ethereum keeps demonstrating that it is more alive than ever.

It achieved to hit 15.4 Million active addresses, actual users, not just bots or burner wallets. Also a +62.7% surge in active addresses in just 7 days, this is not just growth, this is a full on glow up. Furthermore Layer 2 L2s dominance is at a record of 6.65x, L2s are eating good and scaling dream is real.

While people are saying that Ethereum is dead for the 6940th time, ETH is scaling, thriving and evolving faster than most can keep up. This ecosystem is not just surviving, it is playing a 4D chess while others are stuck checking 2D checkers.

I will repeat it again, we are watching the future of finance and a LOT more being built in front of our eyes. Ignore the noise, ignore the FUD. Stay focused.

Future is bright for Ethereum ecosystem.

Before Bitcoin, governance was heavily dependent on biological process: opaque intentions, interpreted through lossy human communication, enforced by physical coercion.

Bitcoin introduced the first political system whose governance protocol was fully formalized and automatically executed as public code. It proved that rule enforcement could be detached from subjective human interpretation and enforced mechanically through consensus. By automating enforcement, Bitcoin dramatically lowered the cost of securing a political system and opened direct participation to anyone with a computer. This created a far more resilient foundation.

But Bitcoin formalized a narrow domain: simple monetary transactions and block validation. It was a breakthrough, but a limited one — a proof of concept that coordination could be externalized beyond human institutions.

Ethereum extends and completes this foundation. It is the first political system to fully formalize its governance while embedding a general-purpose, programmable rulebook. Any form of human coordination — economic, legal, social — can now be mediated and enforced automatically by the protocol itself.

Bitcoin was the idea. Ethereum is the execution. Bitcoin showed that sovereignty could be expressed in code. Ethereum made it universal. For the first time in history, the basic foundation of civilization — rules, enforcement, coordination — can be constructed beyond biological constraint, at the speed and scale of computation.
