ethereum has been online ten years straight with zero pauses and zero maintenance windows. in that time: - facebook went down for 14 hours - aws kinesis froze for 17 - cloudflare dropped 19 datacenters - alt L1s…well, you know. every centralised giant blinks, they rely on on-call humans and scheduled downtime. but ethereum never stops, not through forks, crashes, bubbles, lawsuits, hacks, wars, and every kind of drama the internet can throw at it. and it’s not thanks to a CEO or a hotline. it’s not because someone saved it. it’s because we all did. devs, stakers, researchers, users, millions of us, scattered across the world, choosing to show up, block after block, year after year. while banks fail, clouds go dark and servers get patched, ethereum keeps going. we keep going. ten years online. forever to go.

I continue to ask my guests, “who’s selling Bitcoin?” The answer from those who have been here since the beginning like @EdanYago and @brucefenton is always the same… Early whales who were here for the freedom and libertarian ideals who have thrown in the towel because they see their community cheering the government and Wall Street. It’s an entirely new ballgame now.

History is being made in crypto markets: The Ethereum ETF, $ETHA, has officially exceeded $10 BILLION in assets under management for the first time. It took just 251 trading days to reach this threshold, the 3rd-fastest for any ETF on record. In the past, only two Bitcoin ETFs, $IBIT and $FBTC, achieved this faster. This comes as AUM in $ETHA has DOUBLED over the last 10 days. As a result, the ETF now ranks in the top 5 for inflows over both the last month and the last week. Crypto is taking off.
