About this episode

The episode discusses David Hoffman's decision to sell his ETH and the implications for the Ethereum community.

In this video, I dive into David Hoffman’s recent decision to sell his ETH and explore the reasoning behind his shifting thesis. For a prominent figure in the Ethereum community to step back is a major signal, and we're breaking down whether the "ETH is money" dream has hit its limit.I also discuss the fundamental differences between utility tokens and Bitcoin, the problem of value accrual, and why I believe the decentralized monetary network of Bitcoin remains the only true innovation in the space.Why I sold my ETH articlehttps://x.com/TrustlessState/status/2059371247163613489An investor's take on Cryptoassetshttps://hostingfilesonline.co.uk/An%20Investor's%20Take%20on%20Cryptoassets%20v6.pdfBook a 1|1 Bitcoin Consulting call with mehttps://pathtobitcoin.xyz/Join my Bitcoin Learning Community & and access Free Courseshttps://www.skool.com/the-bitcoin-masters-4115/Where I buy Bitcoin (Free BTC & Non-KYC options)https://bitcoinwell.com/referral/bitcoinnotcrypto15% Stampseed Titanium Seed plates (BEST WAY TO STORE BTC PRIVATE KEYS)https://www.stampseed.com/USE CODE : BTCNOTCRYPTO15Get a Coldcard Hardware wallet…
