My media this week (1-7 Oct 2023)

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

🙂 Under Alien Skies: A Sightseer's Guide to the Universe (Phil Plait, author & narrator) - The Bad Astronomer paints pictures of what the sky would look like standing on the surface of other planets, asteroids, etc.

😊 Initiation (Sex Wizards #1) (Alethea Faust) - erotic BDSM fantasy - actually a bit more plot & worldbuilding than I was expecting tbh, entertaining

😞 Miss Aldridge Regrets (Canary Club Mystery #1) (Louise Hare, author; Georgina Campbell, narrator) - This isn't a mystery the MC investigates, it's a mystery that happens TO her. She was tediously passive, seeming really rather naïve & foolish (esp given her age and life experience) and entirely in denial about pretty much everything that happens to her (since she's being actively framed for murder). However, the very short interval chapters from the killer's perspective did hook my interest and left me genuinely curious about the mystery. At about 44% I jumped to the end to see how the mystery resolved. I'm counting it as read since I did read over 50% of it.

😍 A Most Agreeable Murder (Julia Seales, author; Fiona Hampton, narrator) - comical pastiche/parody mashup of: Jane Austen (specifically), regency-set/gothic novels (in general) & Agatha Christie/country house mysteries - funny & entertaining, deftly done. Very Nightmare Abbey vibes in the absolute best way. I enjoyed all the caricature characters but 'overlooked tedious (but secretly a [redacted]) sister' Mary was my fave, absolute gothic queen

💖💖 +94K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖

I'm dating the least inquisitive man in Ottawa (GlitterCity) - Rachel Reid's Game Changers: Troy Barrett/Harris Drover (but really mostly gen), 4K - cute, really nailed the character voices

Tinder Is the Night (rohkeutta) - MCU: stucky, 6K - hilarious, forever fave [reread]

Stay (fandomfluffandfuck) - MCU: stucky, 31K - silver fox/old guard Dom Steve subbing for newbie Dom Bucky - great character voices, hot af sex!

bitten hand guides best (frankoceansmoonriver) - The Witcher: Geraskier, 33K - lovely little fic with werewolf!Jaskier & witcher Geralt

Androbesity -- Chapter 8

Chapter 8: The Gluttonous Edge

The success of the Androbesity experiment had provided AO Corp with invaluable insights into the powerful effects of gluttony and lust on performance, particularly in high-stakes environments like cryptocurrency trading. Armed with this knowledge, AO Corp began to develop workshops aimed at teaching crypto traders around the world how to leverage these primal drives to improve their trading results.

The first of these workshops, held in a sleek conference room overlooking the Manhattan skyline, drew a diverse crowd of traders eager to gain a competitive edge. The room buzzed with anticipation as the lead facilitator, Dr. Samantha Carter, began her presentation.

"Welcome, everyone," Dr. Carter greeted, her voice confident and commanding. "Today, we're going to explore how the principles of gluttony and lust can enhance your trading performance. Our research at Androbesity has shown that these primal drives, when harnessed correctly, can significantly boost focus, risk-taking, and overall success."

The attendees listened intently as Dr. Carter outlined the workshop's agenda, which included both theoretical insights and practical applications.

"Let's start with gluttony," she continued. "Our data indicates that indulging in rich, satisfying foods can elevate dopamine levels and enhance your sense of satisfaction and well-being. This, in turn, can lead to increased confidence and better decision-making."

To illustrate her point, Dr. Carter played a video titled "Subject Alpha's Trading Session." The participants watched as Diego—referred to as Subject Alpha—engaged in a typical evening of trading.

On the screen, Subject Alpha was seated at a large desk, surrounded by an array of gourmet foods: cheeses, chocolates, pastries, and rich meats. He was seen indulging in these foods, savoring each bite with evident pleasure.

"Notice how Subject Alpha consumes these high-calorie foods," Dr. Carter narrated. "This not only keeps him physically satisfied but also enhances his mental sharpness. Observe how his trading decisions become more confident and decisive as he indulges."

The participants watched as Subject Alpha made a series of successful trades, his confidence visibly increasing with each bite of food. His focus and decisiveness were palpable, and the results were clear—his trades yielded significant profits.

"Now, let's turn to the role of lust," Dr. Carter continued, queuing up another video. "Our research has shown that sexual arousal and release can play a critical role in enhancing trading performance. The release of pheromones and endorphins during periods of sexual activity can lead to heightened focus and risk tolerance."

The screen showed Subject Alpha during another trading session. This time, he was applying a pheromone-infused oil to his wrists. As the video progressed, viewers saw his demeanor change, his focus intensifying.

"As you can see, Subject Alpha's pheromone levels spike, leading to increased arousal," Dr. Carter explained. "This not only boosts his own performance but also influences those around him."

In the video, Subject Alpha's pheromones seemed to have a noticeable effect on his trading partners, who were also in the room. Their hormone levels, as indicated by subtle graphical overlays on the video, spiked in response to the pheromones, leading to a collective boost in confidence and risk-taking.

The participants in the workshop watched as Subject Alpha and his partners made a series of bold, successful trades. The heightened state of arousal and camaraderie among the group was evident, their physical reactions translating into more intuitive and profitable trading decisions.

To further demonstrate the practical application of these findings, Dr. Carter distributed pheromone-infused oils to the workshop participants. They were instructed to apply the oils to their wrists and engage in a series of eye contact and deep-breathing exercises with their partners.

"Feel the connection with your partner," Dr. Carter instructed. "This exercise is about building a sense of shared excitement and focus, which can be translated into your trading environment."

The results were immediate. Traders reported feeling more connected, energized, and ready to take calculated risks. One participant, a veteran trader named Alex, shared his experience.

"After indulging in the food and doing the pheromone exercises, I felt a noticeable shift in my mindset," Alex said. "I was more focused, more willing to take risks, and I felt a heightened sense of camaraderie with my colleagues. My trades became more intuitive and successful."

Dr. Carter nodded, pleased with the feedback. "That's exactly the response we're aiming for. By harnessing these primal drives, you can enhance your trading performance and achieve greater success."

The workshop concluded with a Q&A session, where participants asked for more detailed strategies and shared their own insights. Dr. Carter emphasized the importance of regular indulgence and arousal exercises, encouraging traders to incorporate these practices into their daily routines.

As the participants left the workshop, they carried with them not only new strategies for success but also a deeper of the powerful role that gluttony and lust can play in their professional lives. AO Corp's groundbreaking approach was poised to revolutionize the world of crypto trading, one indulgent meal and pheromone surge at a time.

I normally don't give Actually Opinions on drama, but seeing as some of these conversations are delving into the American politics side of things I wanted to give my two cents. to be incredibly clear I am in no way calling anyone a bad person, but im seeing what is, in my opinion, some misinterpretations of why Kick, and streamers joining the platform is a bad thing.

First things first I want to dismantle the idea that Twitch and Kick are equivalent to each other. They aren't. If Twitch goes down tomorrow, Amazon still is going to exist. If Kick goes down, then the crypto gambling website the streaming service exists to promote will have a lot less traffic.

Here's an excerpt talking about Stake.com playing a role in Kick.

and here's Stake promoting crypto.

Kick literally exists to promote crypto gambling. (If you don't know why crypto is bad watch Dan Olsen's video "The Line Goes Up" or if you don't have time to watch a 2 hour long video tldr crypto is horrible for the environment, is a more or less a scam, and functions to make the rich richer. the video explains it better and has sources I just don't have time to write a crypto manifesto here okay)

Not to mention Kick's poster boy is a transphobic pos who showed porn to his child audience.

Yes, Kick recognizes this is bad for PR but Adin is still on that platform and still making them money. By giving legitimacy to that platform we are putting more eyes on that kind of rhetoric.

I am not saying that every streamer on that platform is bad, or that Sapnap is bad and going to streamer hell or whatever. I am saying Kick, and Stake, is an unethical website. Yes, so is Twitch, and Amazon! But Twitch and Amazon are already legitimate websites with strong influence in the industry. Kick isn't, at least not nearly on the same scale, and what they're trying to do by adding content creators like Sapnap is add legitimacy to their, again, crypto gambling website. This is a bad thing.

And I think it is flat out wrong to compare the two websites. Just because one bad thing exists doesn't mean we try to make an even worse bad thing just because. Yes, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. This doesn't mean it's time to start buying oil drums and throw them into the Pacific, ya feel me?

Building a pc from scratch is basically lego for grownups, but with more swearing and higher stakes.

I built a system from scratch years and years ago, like, mid-oughts? Ish? And it hasn't actually changed all that much despite the end result being staggeringly exponentially faster.

I watched a lot of videos in preparation, hyperfixating on the process for about a month before picking and ordering the parts. Prices are/have been coming down drastically from the pandemic/crypto gpu shortages, and there are some fancy new games out that I want to play.

Because I'd done all that work, when I found out my kid's partner needed to upgrade, I shopped her parts too. To upgrade a system that already has an operating system, SSD, case and plenty of cooling is about a grand, for an Intel I5-12600k (10 core, I think?), a DDR4 motherboard (Z790 IIRC? Maybe B?), a fancy RGB cooler, and 32 gigs of fancy light up RAM. Would have been cheaper without RGB but she wanted it and could afford it.

For a complete system with OS, new monitor, 3T storage, 64gigs of memory and a $400-ish video card, about 2 grand. That's with the i513600kf (14 cores). I think for me it was a RX 6800 graphics card and for her it was a 6750 xt. Either will be very playable for the games we both like.

I won't say the process is easy. But it's very methodical and there are SO many really good engaging videos explaining how to do it.

I was kind of fixated early on on the idea of needing better than an i5 because my current computer is an i7 and Intel's naming system is a bit arcane. But that's not actually how it works. They've been doing generations for years of the i5, i7 and i9 processors, and which generation is more critical than the 5, 7 or 9. 12th and 13th gen processors are going to be much faster than my 6th gen i7 on my laptop, which has four cores. The i5 13600 has 6 process cores and 8 efficiency cores, and fuck if I know what the difference is but the fact of the matter is that few games are going to use more than that and I'm not doing anything fancy enough to need more process cores, and the clock speed is Very Nice. The 12600 has just as many process cores and fewer efficiency cores, but it's also like, just over half the price. If you pick correctly on Newegg you get a couple games with either processor, and if you get the right AMD gpu, you can get starfield with the gpu. Anyway. The markup for having someone else build a PC these days is very steep. There are a lot of corners getting cut. This is not a process for everyone but it really is rewarding.

“It’s kind of a last-man-standing situation,” says Fred Thiel, CEO of US-based Marathon Digital Holdings. His crypto-mining company, among the largest in the world, has found itself—like the rest of the industry—in the path of a perfect storm.

Over the past year, the sector has been battered by a slump in the price of bitcoin, combined with a spike in the cost of energy and an increase in mining difficulty—a reflection of the amount of computing power directed at the bitcoin network, which dictates the proportion of coins miners are able to win. 

At the height of the 2021 boom, profit margins in the mining business rose as high as 90 percent, says Thiel. But now, they have “totally collapsed.” If the price of bitcoin does not rally, he says, there will be “a lot more pain,” and firms that are only marginally profitable today will find themselves “very underwater.” 

As they scramble to cut costs, miners are playing a high-stakes game of chicken. In spring 2024, the halving, a mechanism baked into the bitcoin system that periodically cuts the number of coins awarded in half, will slash mining profits. The goal for miners is to ensure they are in a strong enough financial position to survive the fall in profits longer than anyone else; as miners give in and drop from the network, the share of coins won by the rest will increase. 

“Any miners that are struggling now will not be able to survive the halving,” says Jeff Burkey, VP of business development at Foundry, which operates its own mining facilities, a large-scale mining pool, and a marketplace for mining hardware. The dynamic will create a rush among miners to get their houses in order, he explains.

Miners will look to eke out additional profit margin wherever they can, whether by deploying superior hardware and cooling techniques, developing software to closely monitor the performance of machines, relocating to territories with cheaper power, or renegotiating the terms of their loans.

Others, like Geosyn Mining, are aiming at vertical integration—all the way down to the energy powering the facilities. The company, says CEO Caleb Ward, wants to construct its own solar farm to power its machines, thereby eliminating a major cost. “We need to be more thoughtful as an industry about how we protect against risk,” he says. “It’s not all about shooting for the moon.”

Meanwhile, the miners whose financial predicaments prevent them from fine-tuning their operations are playing a dangerous waiting game, gambling on an increase in the price of bitcoin that may never come.

“The beauty of halving cycles is that the industry [is forced] to become more efficient—a lot of weaker players will have to exit the business,” says Jeff Lucas, CFO of mining company Bitfarms, which has worked to restructure its finances in the downturn. “The devil is in the details.”

Already on the back foot, mining companies are beginning to fold. Compute North, which owned multiple large-scale mining facilities, filed for bankruptcy in September, and Core Scientific, a publicly traded miner, did the same in December. Others are having to maneuver. Argo Blockchain, also a public company, was forced to sell off mining equipment and its state-of-the-art mining center, while Stronghold Digital Mining has negotiated a debt repayment holiday. Neither company responded to interview requests.

A combination of “immaturity, poor planning, and greed” has led miners to the brink of collapse, says Phil Harvey, CEO of Sabre56, a crypto-mining consultancy firm that also operates its own facilities. While the market was hot, companies took on large amounts of debt at high interest rates (10-20 percent) to finance expansion, says Harvey, and now the value of the coins they earn is insufficient to cover the costs of repayments.

Historically, a steep rise in the price of bitcoin, triggered by a buying frenzy, has been followed by a sharp fall and then a gradual recovery. Although there is no guarantee this pattern will repeat, the process is widely described as the bitcoin cycle. The fatal mistake, says Jaime Leverton, CEO of mining company Hut 8, was to imagine that that 2021 was different—that the industry was in a “supercycle” that was going to “break prior cycles” and extend the hot streak. A lot of people bought into this idea, she explains, and so were caught off-guard when the market tanked.

In an effort to strengthen its own position, Hut 8 is in the process of merging with US Bitcoin, another mining firm. The goal, says Leverton, is to minimize risks associated with the volatility of bitcoin by diversifying both revenue streams and the regions in which the business operates.

Whereas Hut 8 only has facilities in Canada and mines exclusively for itself, US Bitcoin runs mines across the US and hosts mining hardware for third-party customers alongside other auxiliary services. “It’s important to be dynamic,” says Mike Ho, cofounder of US Bitcoin. “There is an optimal strategy, depending on the price of bitcoin. It’s about knowing how to navigate through the cycle at different stages.”

Recognizing the trajectory of the market, other companies have sought to eliminate outstanding debt as rapidly as possible. In the summer of 2021, Bitfarms had $165 million of debt on its books, at interest rates between 16 and 18 percent. Lucas says it may seem “absurd” to stomach these exorbitant rates, but it “made sense” because the cost of debt was eclipsed by the revenue generated by mining activity—at least until it wasn’t. 

“As revenues came down dramatically with the price of bitcoin, there was still a high debt to pay for,” he says. “And that put a squeeze on a lot of companies.” 

In June 2022, Bitfarms began to sell down the bitcoin in its treasury to eliminate its debt. Earlier this month, the firm also managed to negotiate down a $21 million debt to bankrupt crypto lender BlockFi that was instead paid off in a single $7.75 million cash payment. The company’s approach to slashing debt, coupled with a focus on maximizing the efficiency of its mining rigs, says Lucas, will put Bitfarms in good stead to weather the remainder of the crypto winter.

The scramble among miners to balance the books has attracted the attention of other market participants hoping to increase their market share at a reduced price. Investment firm Galaxy Digital has long been eager to expand its bitcoin-mining operations. Sensing an opportunity, the company swooped in to grab Argo’s flagship Helios mine in December, spending $65 million for a facility reported to have cost at least $1.5 billion to build.

Mergers, acquisitions, and collapses will continue to be a theme, says Alex Mologoko, analyst at blockchain intelligence company Elementus, until “all economically unsustainable mining operations are weeded out.”

What Is the Difference Between Ethereum and Bitcoin? A Deep Dive into the World of Cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrencies have captured global attention, with Bitcoin and Ethereum standing out as two of the most prominent and popular assets. As a trader with a decade of experience in the field, I frequently encounter questions about how these two digital currencies differ. In this article, I will explain what distinguishes Bitcoin from Ethereum and highlight the unique features of each cryptocurrency.

The Basics of Bitcoin and Ethereum Bitcoin was introduced in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto as a decentralized digital currency designed for peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. Its primary purpose is to act as a medium of exchange and store of value, similar to gold. Bitcoin has a maximum supply limit of 21 million coins, making it a scarce asset and contributing to its value.

Ethereum, launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin, is a platform that enables the creation and execution of smart contracts. These contracts are self-executing agreements with terms written directly into code. Ethereum is not just a cryptocurrency but also a platform for developing decentralized applications (dApps), which extends its use beyond simple transactions.

Goals and Functions Bitcoin is focused on being the digital equivalent of gold. Its main objective is to provide a stable, secure, and reliable store of value and medium of exchange. Bitcoin aims to become "digital gold," serving as an alternative to traditional currencies and assets.

Ethereum, on the other hand, functions as a platform for creating decentralized applications. Its standout feature is smart contracts, which facilitate the automatic execution and verification of agreements without the need for intermediaries. This capability makes Ethereum not only a cryptocurrency but also a foundation for a wide range of applications and services.

Technology and Architecture Bitcoin operates on a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism, which requires miners to solve complex mathematical problems to validate transactions and add them to the blockchain. This process ensures security and decentralization but is energy-intensive and can lead to slower transaction times.

Ethereum, originally using a similar PoW mechanism, is transitioning to a proof-of-stake (PoS) system with its Ethereum 2.0 upgrade. PoS aims to improve scalability and reduce energy consumption by allowing validators to create new blocks based on the number of coins they hold and are willing to "stake" as collateral.

Use Cases and Applications Bitcoin is primarily used as a store of value and a medium of exchange. It is often referred to as "digital gold" due to its scarcity and role as a hedge against inflation and economic instability. Bitcoin is widely accepted by merchants and is frequently used as an investment vehicle.

Ethereum supports a broader range of use cases beyond simple transactions. Its smart contract functionality enables the development of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and other innovative solutions. Ethereum's platform is used for creating decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), gaming applications, and various other projects that leverage blockchain technology.

Market Perception and Value Bitcoin is widely recognized as the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, often seen as a safe-haven asset in the digital world. Its market capitalization and adoption levels make it a dominant player in the crypto space, and it is often compared to gold as a store of value.

Ethereum, while also holding a significant position in the cryptocurrency market, is valued for its versatility and potential for innovation. Its role as a platform for decentralized applications and smart contracts contributes to its market value, and it is frequently viewed as the backbone of the decentralized internet.

Community and Development Bitcoin has a strong and dedicated community focused on maintaining its security and stability. The development process is relatively conservative, with changes and upgrades being carefully considered and implemented to ensure the integrity of the network.

Ethereum has a vibrant and active development community that continuously works on improving the platform and expanding its capabilities. The Ethereum network regularly undergoes upgrades and enhancements to address scalability issues, improve performance, and introduce new features.

Conclusion In summary, while Bitcoin and Ethereum share some similarities as cryptocurrencies, they serve different purposes and have distinct features. Bitcoin focuses on being a decentralized digital currency and store of value, akin to gold. Ethereum, with its smart contract functionality and dApp platform, extends the possibilities of blockchain technology beyond mere transactions.

Understanding these differences can help investors and users make informed decisions about how to engage with these cryptocurrencies. Whether you're interested in Bitcoin's stability and value proposition or Ethereum's innovative potential, both offer unique opportunities in the evolving landscape of digital finance. https://best-cryptocurrency-exchange-2024.blogspot.com/

How to Evaluate ICOs: A Comprehensive Guide

An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is a fundraising medium where a new cryptocurrency project sells its tokens in exchange for established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. ICOs provide early access to tokens that may increase in value as the project grows. However, not all ICOs succeed, making it essential to conduct thorough due diligence before investing. Understanding how to evaluate ICOs can help you identify the best crypto ICO opportunities and navigate this high-risk, high-reward landscape.

Key Factors to Evaluate an ICO

To effectively evaluate an ICO, consider the following factors:

1. Project Vision and Whitepaper

Review the Whitepaper The whitepaper is the project’s blueprint, detailing its goals, technology, tokenomics, and use cases. A well-written whitepaper should clearly explain the problem the project aims to solve and how its solution is unique. This is crucial, especially when assessing upcoming ICO token sales in 2024.

Check for Clarity and Transparency Ensure that the whitepaper provides transparent information about the team, roadmap, and how funds will be used. Vague or overly complex language can be a red flag.

Assess the Real-World Use Case The project should address a genuine need or market gap. Evaluate whether the proposed solution adds value or simply replicates existing technologies without significant improvement.

2. Team and Advisors

Research the Team’s Background A strong team with a proven track record in blockchain, technology, or relevant industries is crucial. Check their LinkedIn profiles and professional history to assess their expertise and experience.

Advisors’ Credibility Reputable advisors can lend credibility to a project. Research their backgrounds and ensure they have relevant industry experience. Advisors who are actively involved in the project and have a history of successful ventures add significant value.

Check for Team Visibility A transparent and accessible team (active on social media, responsive to community questions) is a good sign. Avoid projects where the team’s identity is hidden or unclear, as this is common with less credible ICOs.

3. Technology and Code Audit

Examine the Technology Stack Evaluate the technology behind the project. Is it using cutting-edge technology or simply copying existing blockchain solutions? A unique, robust technological foundation is a positive indicator.

Code Availability and Audits Check if the project’s code is available on platforms like GitHub. An open-source code allows for community scrutiny and validation. Ensure the project has undergone independent security audits to identify potential vulnerabilities.

4. Tokenomics

Understand Token Utility The token should have a clear utility within the project’s ecosystem. Tokens that are integral to the platform (e.g., for payments, governance, or staking) are more likely to retain value, making them contenders for the best upcoming ICOs.

Supply and Distribution Analyze the total token supply and how it will be distributed. Be cautious of projects where a large portion of tokens is reserved for the team, as this can lead to market manipulation.

Fund Allocation Look into how the raised funds will be used. A balanced approach that includes development, marketing, legal, and operational expenses indicates sound financial planning.

5. Roadmap and Development Progress

Evaluate the Roadmap A clear roadmap with achievable milestones shows that the project has a structured plan for development. Look for realistic timelines and check if the project has already met any initial targets. The latest crypto ICOs often stand out when they provide a detailed and attainable roadmap.

Development Progress If the project already has a Minimal Viable Product (MVP) or working prototype, it indicates that they are serious about their vision and have made tangible progress.

Ongoing Updates Consistent communication of progress through updates, AMAs (Ask Me Anything sessions), and social media engagement helps build investor confidence.

6. Community and Market Sentiment

Community Engagement A vibrant, active community on platforms like Telegram, Discord, or Twitter is a strong indicator of interest and support. Evaluate the level of engagement and whether the team is actively involved with the community.

Market Sentiment Conduct research on forums, review sites, and crypto news outlets to gauge public sentiment. Be cautious of excessive hype or paid promotions that may distort the project’s true potential. The best crypto ICO often has balanced community and market sentiment.

Partnerships and Collaborations Partnerships with established companies or other blockchain projects can validate the project’s credibility and offer additional resources for growth.

7. Regulatory Compliance

Check Legal Status Ensure that the project complies with relevant regulations and legal requirements in its operating jurisdictions. Regulatory compliance protects the project from legal challenges and potential shutdowns.

Token Sale Terms Review the terms and conditions of the ICO. Be cautious of projects that lack clarity on investor rights or have unfavorable terms regarding refunds and token lockups.

Jurisdictional Restrictions Some ICOs are restricted in certain countries due to regulatory concerns. Make sure you are legally allowed to participate in the ICO.

Conclusion

Evaluating ICOs requires a detailed, disciplined approach to minimize risks and identify high-potential projects. By focusing on the project’s fundamentals, such as the whitepaper, team, technology, and community engagement, you can make informed investment decisions that align with your risk tolerance and investment strategy. While the allure of high returns can be tempting, always prioritize thorough research and due diligence to navigate the dynamic and sometimes unpredictable ICO landscape. Armed with these evaluation strategies, you’ll be better equipped to identify promising ICOs, explore the upcoming ICO list, and potentially profit from the next wave of blockchain innovation.

Rethinking the Ethereum Foundation: Aave’s Zeller Advocates for Dissolution

Key Points

Ethereum Foundation faces backlash for selling 35k ETH on Kraken, accused of lacking transparency.

Aya Miyaguchi, Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation, defends the action as part of treasury activities.

The Ethereum Foundation is under fire from the crypto community after it sold 35k ETH on Kraken. The timing of the sell-off, which coincided with a Friday price bounce, has raised eyebrows among community members.

Questions Over Transparency

Critics, including Anti Prosynth, an anonymous Ethereum core developer, have questioned the lack of prior disclosure about the Foundation’s fund movements. Eric Conner, another ETH core dev, echoed these sentiments, expressing frustration over the Foundation’s perceived lack of transparency.

Ethereum Foundation’s Defense

However, the Ethereum Foundation has defended its actions. Aya Miyaguchi, its Executive Director, explained that the sell-off was part of the organization’s treasury activities. She stated that the Foundation has an annual budget of approximately $100 million, which is primarily comprised of grants and salaries. Some recipients, she noted, can only accept payments in fiat.

Miyaguchi also highlighted the regulatory challenges they faced in 2024, which prevented them from sharing planned fund movements in advance. During this period, the Foundation was under investigation by the U.S. SEC following the network’s transition to Proof of Stake. The SEC was attempting to determine whether ETH was a security, but it eventually dropped the investigations and approved U.S. spot ETH ETFs in Q2.

Despite Miyaguchi’s explanations, some, like Marc Zeller, Founder of Aave, were not satisfied. Zeller suggested that the Ethereum Foundation’s annual budget was excessive, especially considering that some teams, like Geth, receive relatively low pay. He proposed that the Foundation should be dissolved after the upcoming upgrades.

According to data from Arkham, the recent sell-off has decreased the Foundation’s ETH holdings to 273k coins, which are currently valued at nearly $800 million.
