@StemLP Crypto zijn startups voor ecosystemen. Wie gaat dat de politiek uitleggen?

Meer regels => meer belasting => meer overheid => meer regels => meer .. Enfin, u snapt het wel..

“De Rijksoverheid is als zelfrijzend bakmeel”

Heel knap om deze stukken over 'groepsimmuniteit' vijf jaar achter te houden. Deze stukken zijn als het goed is al lang naar de parlementaire enquetecommissie Corona getuurd. Kan niet waar zijn dat ze 'zoek' zijn. nos.nl/nieuwsuur/arti…

Een digitale euro blijft onnodig en onwenselijk wat mij betreft. De afhankelijkheid van Amerikaanse betalingsinfrastructuur kan worden verminderd door de uitgifte van euro stable coins. Wat de linkse lobby met een digitale euro wil, is precies de reden om er niet aan te willen: de geldcreatie zo volledig mogelijk in handen van de overheid leggen. Als de digitale munt dan ook nog wordt geprogrammeerd, wordt de vrijheid sterk ondermijnd. Controle over uw economisch handelen komt dan in handen van een niet democratisch gecontroleerde club van centrale bankiers/EC bureaucraten. ⬇️

I used to be an Ethereum dev in 2016. I was the original cofounder and CTO for Cent - platform that later sold the Jack Dorsey tweet NFT for $2m. One of the first NFT projects on mainnet. Let me be clear - I never believed everything would live on “one chain.” Makes 0 sense. As soon as I discovered Cosmos is 2022 (Terra was bigger than Solana), it was clear that there will be many chains, not one, and that they’ll interoperate. I left Ethereum and went to Cosmos, and built a successful company (Skip.build) Fast forward to today - Vitalik and the EF is abandoning years of cumulative effort of thousands of developers who wanted to “build on Ethereum.” This is the risk of basing your business model on someone else’s token. You will always be second class. The world needs an open blockchain stack that is open source, and able to be run without “alignment” games and token dependency. This is what Cosmos is. We have the best technology, that lets chains be interoperable with all other blockchains via an open bridging protocol. Everything Ethereum promised, we’ve built. Switching to Cosmos is a powerful move. You can run your app at subsecond block times, with no security dependencies, and 100% ownership of your future and your brand. It makes sense for the best L2s (e.g. Polygon, built on Cosmos) that have outgrown Ethereum. IBC lets you interoperate with all kinds of offchain systems to connect into the real world. Start building for you and your users, stop building for $ETH. docs.cosmos.network

For any L2s that bet on Ethereum and have now been abandoned, please take note: You owe Ethereum nothing. "Security" is commodized, and the real fight is for users, not alignment. Switch to being a L1: you can brand however you want, and own 100% of revenue. Cosmos.

There have recently been some discussions on the ongoing role of L2s in the Ethereum ecosystem, especially in the face of two facts: * L2s' progress to stage 2 (and, secondarily, on interop) has been far slower and more difficult than originally expected * L1 itself is scaling,

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, French President Emmanuel Macron just delivered the most powerful rebuke of Donald Trump we've seen yet. This is incredible.

Our vision is, over the next decade, every major company will have their own, interconnected blockchain. That vision requires four things to be true: performant ledgers, neutral connectivity, programmable privacy, and network autonomy. The 2026 Cosmos Stack roadmap delivers on all of them, and doubles down on Cosmos' core strength. First, 5,000 TPS sustained in production. That's 10x what SWIFT processes today, on par with Mastercard, on every single chain. We are taking the most battle-tested consensus in crypto, and making it the obvious choice for finance. Second, Proof-Of-Authority. This lets institutions control their own networks and stay compliant. Additionally, IBC is expanding to Solana, EVMs, and any ledger. We are building privacy that works across counterparties without breaking compliance. Right now, the use cases reshaping finance are stablecoins, tokenization, cross-border payments, and banks and institutions are choosing to build their own ledgers to accomplish them. Why? Compliance, performance, interoperability, control, customization and optimization. We used to see small pilots on Hyperledger, or institutions tokenizing a fraction of their assets across a couple chains. That's changing. Banks are building production-scale blockchains, and what Cosmos can solve is the network effect between them. One bank on a chain is a pilot. Ten banks connected to each other is a new market.A new payments network. A new financial infrastructure. The amount of friction this solves is unmeasurable. If not, look at @Figure, @OndoFinance, and @circle - exporting services to banks and chains globally. The goal: make Cosmos the default over Hyperledger, smart contracts, or any third-party chain by making the best solution, even better. 2026: Cosmos.

1/ @0xMagmar at Cosmoverse 2025 This was the most bullish presentation I've seen in crypto. 👉 Fortune 500s building chains 👉 Swift integration 👉 Dashboard demos for banks 👉 Private chains If you missed it here are the key points A thread 🧵 👇

Knap gedaan dit!🥰

3/ Three decisions determine 90% of your life outcomes: 1. Who you're with 2. What you do 3. Where you live Most people put almost no thought into these critical choices. They're multi-year or even lifetime commitments—spend months deciding, not days.
