🪤 Disguised Unemployment? 88% of Ethereum Protocols Are Not Earning Revenue vs 75% in Solana

「 On Ethereum, 88% of its 1,271 protocols have not generated revenue in the past 30 days, while Solana sees 75% of its 264 protocols inactive.
Inactive smart contracts increase storage burdens, security risks, and economic inefficiency, hindering the overall user experience 」

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Epstein's Arrest Shook The Blockchain

Jeffrey Epstein's arrest seems to have set off a wave of suspicious crypto payments that have heretofore gone unexamined.

1. The 2nd highest volume day in bitcoin history came a week after Epstein died.

2. #Stablecoin transfer volumes doubled less than 48 hours after Epstein was arrested. In particular #Tether, the stablecoin whose money is managed by Epstein's next door neighbor and #Trump's current Secretary of Commerce, saw on chain volumes skyrocket.

Also there's the matter of a bunch of suspicious deaths among Epstein's crypto circle.

It makes me chuckle a little that one of the biggest NFT stores on the Cardano blockchain is just called 'JPG Store'.

So many people are like "NFTs are shit. Do you not realise you're just buying an image?" and the name 'JPG Store' is just screaming "Come and buy some expensive JPGs"

Why most radical tech is pointless, and why #indymediaback isn’t

Almost everything built in today’s alt-radical tech scene is, bluntly, pointless. Despite good intentions, most of it ends up feeding the endless cycle of #fashernista churn, flashy new platforms, bleeding-edge protocols, or encrypted communication tools nobody uses, built by isolated teams disconnected from real-world needs or history. This is the #geekproblem: a culture where novelty is fetishized, and social usefulness is an afterthought, if it appears at all.

@tante @stk Ich war neulich auf einem KI-Event mit Leuten aus Verwaltungen in ganz Deutschland. Die berichteten vom immensen Druck der lokalen Politik, doch „endlich auch KI zu einzusetzen“. Die Verwaltungen selber wollten gar nicht, denn sie wussten auch gar nicht wofür. Warum KI angeblich so toll ist, wollten sie dann von mir wissen.

Nach meinem Rant dazu haben wir uns darauf geeinigt, dass sie sowieso nötige Arbeiten, für die es sonst keine Ressourcen gibt (z. B. Übersetzung von Formularen in andere Sprachen), als „KI-Einsatz“ labeln sollen...

Das erinnert mich alles so an den #Blockchain-Hype.

China is preparing to counter the threat of U.S.-backed digital dollars by leveraging its powerful e-commerce firms and Hong Kong’s crypto-friendly financial system to promote stablecoins tied to local currencies. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/06/30/world/china-ready-for-us-stablecoins/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #china #hongkong #stablecoin #crypto #blockchain #ecommerce #libra #digitaldollars #cryptocurrencies
