Overheard on Twitter

Over on Twitter, here were the top tweets about Ethereum:

  • From QwQiao:

    Having played around with synthetic BTCs I’ve come to the conclusion that having BTC on Ethereum is incredibly bullish for BTC long term. It allows BTC to interact in a *highly programmatic* way as a reserve currency with other financial apps. It brings more liveliness to BTC.

  • From JamesSpediacci:

    *Uniswap finally makes using a DEX on Ethereum an enjoyable experience and a triumph for decentralization*SBF, Band CTO, CZ, and probably Justin Sun:
    “Let’s collude to destroy it and make a centralized version so we make more money hehehe”SBF fanboys: “he’s such a genius <3”

  • From iamDCinvestor:

    $YFI listed on Coinbase Pro is only the start. Eventually, it will end up on Coinbase.The super-high nominal token value will draw eyes, and interest. People will want to know what it’s about.And it will pull a new generation of users & investors into Ethereum DeFi overall.
