3 years ago today, Hamas invaded Israel from Gaza and murdered 1,200 people, the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. Hamas then retreated behind its own people, using Gaza's civilians as a narrative shield of "oppression and resistance." A week-long invasion became a 3-year propaganda war against the Jews. I see antisemitism as a barometer for the collective mental health of a society. Inflation, wealth inequality, increased costs of living, are all squeezing society, and people go looking for a villain to blame. Social media, expertly leveraged by global Islamism (the Islamic Regime, Qatar, Turkey) to create the pro-palestine movement, provides the answer: the Jews. Jews, the most oppressed people in history, are somehow always the oppressor. We are seeing the same beginnings of the Islamo-Marxist alliance that created the Islamic revolution that has opressed the people of Iran since 1979. (btw, all the Marxists in that alliance were executed once the Islamists took power - "Queers for Palestine!" is a modern echo of this) I don't know why society has singled out the Jews, but IMO how a country treats its Jewish diaspora reflects its overall mental health. Like the Iranian diaspora, when Jews are free to participate in a country's economy, that country prospers. Both are among the most hardworking, entrepreneurial, and successful groups in the world. The cultures that have been oppressed the most, and that value freedom and modernity, have produced outsized wealth, knowledge, and contributions to the world. We, as society, must protect the Jews. I hope this modern wave of antisemitism becomes a thing of the past, and Jews can once again feel safe in the modern Western society they helped create. 🇮🇱🇮🇷🇺🇦🇺🇸

Ethereum turns 11 today. Since mainnet went live on July 30, 2015, Ethereum has: → Never halted. Not once, across 11 years of continuous block production. → Become the settlement layer for stablecoins, holding more than half of all supply → Taken the largest share of tokenized real world assets of any network → Built the largest DeFi ecosystem in crypto, ~8x the next largest chain by TVL → Grown the largest developer ecosystem in the industry → Become the default venue for institutions coming onchain No company owns it. No one can switch it off. Credibly neutral. Everything onchain is verifiable. Here's to the next 11 years as Ethereum becomes the home of finance.

We have received an overwhelming level of feedback and support over the past 24 hours - thank you to everyone who has reached out! At this stage, we have not published any official wallet address, and we ask that no funds be sent to any addresses currently circulating, as none are affiliated with Ethereum Institutional. We are grateful for the early support from BMNR, SBET, and Joe Lubin, and are currently conducting an organized ecosystem supporter round with a broader group of aligned industry participants. If you are interested in supporting our mission, you can reach out to us directly below: [email protected]
