Ethereum (ETH)

I wonder how many people with CT know that in 2016 @ethereum was on the brink of collapse, rather than always being a top coin? 🤔
In this article, I explore the story of The DAO - one of the most defining events in Ethereum’s history.

I break down how a reentrancy vulnerability enabled the theft of millions in ETH, why it led to a hard fork and the split between Ethereum and Ethereum Classic, and how this incident permanently changed the way the industry approaches smart contract security.

I also examine how threats evolved over the past decade - from contract bugs to attacks targeting private keys, bridges, and signing interfaces. 👇

Ethereum foundation co-executive director Hsi ao-Wei Wang just resigned - following fellow co-executive director Tomasz Stańczak’s exit

another high-profile departure in a growing string

two co-executive directors gone in short order is not a coincidence its a pattern

i called this institutional turbulence months ago when the exodus started, not protocol weakness

the thesis still holds - but leadership churn at this pace eventually becomes its own story, regardless of how strong the underlying tech is

Ethereum doesn’t need everyone to stay. it needs the next layer of leadership to actually show up
