LayerZero's post-quantum security research adds to the case for looking beyond ZRO as just a bridge token. Aerie aims to protect blockchains from future quantum attacks without slowing them severely; early tests ran on a MacBook without a GPU. It remains research, not a live upgrade. x.com 

Ethena is the highest-conviction pick in this altcoin basket, followed by Worldcoin with good conviction. Plasma's dead-cat bounce can be sharp, LayerZero's team will eventually run out of tokens to sell, and DoubleZero is a crime-conviction bet. x.com 

Low fees on Ethereum's base layer are the cost of growth, and growth is what ETH holders should want now. A huge flow of money and activity already runs through Ethereum's neutral settlement layer, often unseen by users, and it can be monetized whenever the community chooses. Robinhood chose Ethereum not for its fees but for settlement it could trust, and paying only marginal cost is temporary. @ethereumJoseph expects tens of thousands of companies to build on Ethereum over the next 2-3 years. … Show more

Ethereum's layer-2 networks are insanely bullish long term because they give every major institution a substrate to build on while reinforcing the use of ETH. There is no good reason to build a modular chain anywhere else, and today's very low fees to do so, without running your own consensus, are a feature, not a bug. Expect many more L2s in the next few years. The L2 roadmap did pull focus from L1 scaling, which is still needed, but zk proving will get there. x.com  x.com 

Solana is struggling to sell blockspace, a commodity racing to zero, while heavily diluting holders. At this year's rate, fees come to about $300M against roughly $2.4B of newly minted SOL, and fees are down about 79% year over year amid competition from Ethereum, Base, Hyperliquid, Near and others. SOL is not money either, so neither a profitable-chain nor a monetary-premium bull case holds. Nasdaq earns 17x what Solana does while buying back about twice as much and issuing no shares. x.com  … Show more

Circle is a long-term buy because USDC is becoming the wallet of AI agents, which need autonomous, programmable micropayments that credit cards cannot handle. USDC already carries 99.8% of x402 agentic payments, and Circle launched Agent Stack. Per Mizuho, USDC's adjusted volume overtook Tether's this year. High-for-longer rates lift reserve income. At about 95x forward earnings and EPS seen falling 49% in 2026, the payoff is 2027-28, so a pullback is the better entry. x.com 

Ether and Solana lack a path to profitability, which any sound investment should have, so severe underperformance is happening and will continue. x.com
