ETH hit ATH because of @Lighter_xyz should be a lesson for @solana on ZK and alignment

circle L1 has as much economic security as ethereum because lets be real, circle is going to choose which ethereum fork wins

ive seen a bunch of comments that NASDAQs fees are hidden this simply isn't true. all national market system exchanges fee require SEC approval and go through a public comment period

the argument here, is that because solana charges money (priority fees) to quote, solana will have better spreads this makes absolutely no sense

> NASDAQ handles 2k trades per second nasdaq handles 2m+ messages per 100ms with microsecond latency. solana isn't even close and never will be with the speed of light adding at least 100ms of latency from global consensus most messages/trades occur in microsecond bursts and nasdaq is built to handle 51:1 capacity-to-peak ratio with microsecond latency. solana has a fixed compute capacity quotes exceed trades (fills) by orders of magnitude. the reason market making on-chain is so expensive is market makers pay gas to revise/cancel quotes but only earn money from fills. and when solana is congested due to bursts of activity, market makers are subject to additional latency and gas costs at the same time volatility spikes this means trades per second is an irrelevant metric but if we're being fair: NASDAQ trades per second does averages out to around 2k over a day

5 years for @rstormsf. he still has a good chance on appeal given all the shenanigans by the prosecution and judge mistrial on 2/3 charges is a great result and embarrassing for prosecution given the 99%+ conviction rate in SDNY

my skitzo theory is hair functions as an electro-magnetic detector hair/whiskers both accumulate and are sensitive to electrical charge this explains the feeling of being watched, why predators don't hunt humans, why humans evolved to be hairless humans out-competed other sapiens because we don't have as much hair, so we don't accumulate as much electrical potential. this strategy required intelligence and verbal communication since humans can't communicate or hunt well using EM fields also ticks

i can do 50k impressions for a lot less than 17.5k

crypto is down on SEC news because most teams won't be able to compete with the america financial system its a new world
