Ethereum Co-Founder: Why Crypto Has Failed | Gavin Wood

Empire

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Crypto Has Lost Its Way: The industry's obsession with hype and speculation diverts resources and attention from building genuine, society-improving utility based on Web3 ideals.

This Is What Capitulation Feels Like | Weekly Roundup

Forward Guidance

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Capitulation Near, But Timing Tricky: Close hedges now; consider tactical longs (calls) soon, but be ready to sell the bounce as it's likely a bear market rally.
  2. Policy is the Pivot: Market relief likely requires Trump blinking on tariffs or significant fiscal stimulus announcements; don't wait for the Fed to save the day.
  3. Watch Relative Strength: Bitcoin and Homebuilders show surprising resilience, offering potential clues or opportunities amidst the chaos. Commodities look oversold but need confirmation.

Are Stablecoins the only good crypto use case?

blocmates.

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Stablecoins Reign: Forget moonshots; stablecoins are crypto's clearest win, providing real-world utility and attracting both corporate giants (Tether, Circle) and even government attention.
  2. Macro Still Matters (Kind Of): While extreme tariff news rocked traditional markets, crypto's reaction was comparatively muted – expect continued volatility, but perhaps less direct correlation than stocks anticipate.
  3. Watch Stablecoin Ecosystem Plays: While Tether and Circle dominate headlines, the narrative strength around stablecoins could create opportunities for related on-chain protocols (like Ethena, Maker) post-macro cooldown.
