RT @rajgokal: 🤯🤯🤯

BREAKING NEWS: @anza_xyz research team announces new state of the art Solana Consensus on stage at Solana Accelerate.

The new Alpenglow protocol 🌄 brings transaction finality down to 100-150ms — a 100x improvement over today’s latency.

Here’s what you can expect 🧵 https://t.co/oP41nkyr2b - Solana

RT @joaomendoncaaaa: People are complaining about the 1-year timeline for Solana’s new consensus (Alpenglow), so let me explain:

Solana is not some obscure side project with no traction. It’s a top 10 blockchain by market cap, with millions of active users, billions in assets, and a thriving ecosystem of apps and validators relying on it.

To overhaul consensus on a live chain like Solana, you need to:

- Reveal and communicate a concrete proposal (e.g. Alpenglow)
- Get agreement across core devs, validators, and the broader community
- Implement it within the tight constraints of Solana’s high-performance runtime
- And test it repeatedly under real-world conditions

The worst outcome would be for a bug or instability to compromise the network’s performance or security – that’s catastrophic at Solana’s scale.

It’s hard enough to do this on a brand-new chain. On Solana – with a live, ultra-fast, global network – it’s orders of magnitude more complex. That’s why the entire year is packed with shipping.

This isn't some centralized system where upgrades ship overnight. Despite being faster-moving than other chains, Solana still takes coordination, precision engineering, and rigorous validation to evolve without breaking what already works.

People are complaining about the 5 yr timeline for the Ethereum Beam Chain, so let me explain:

Ethereum is not some random alt-L1 with very little activity. It is the second largest blockchain in the world with 60B in TVL, an underlying asset worth 400B, and thousands of apps dependent on it.

In order to make drastic changes to how the core protocol works, you need to:
- Make a proposal that reaches social consensus
- Define an exact specification that all researchers and engineers agree to
- Build the implementation to be backwards compatible
- And test the absolute crap out these changes

The worst possible scenario is for a bug/exploit to be introduced in these changes, causing millions of people to lose money.

It is insanely difficult to do this on a brand new system - it is 1000 times harder to do this on a live decentralized network with billions of dollars at stake. This is why multiple years of testing is necessary - every possible edge case needs to be accounted for.

Several of the changes proposed in the beam chain will require complete rewrites of how parts of Ethereum work. 3-slot finality and chain snarkification are massive undertakings.

Ethereum is not some centralized entity that can just ship changes to its heart's desire. It is an extremely decentralized system that requires deliberate decision making that doesn't completely break existing apps/patterns while also being future-proof. - cygaar

RT @XaiTcp: They Tried to Short MSTR and They Failed.

Because they didn’t understand the basics.

They looked at the Bitcoin exposure…
They saw leverage…
They smelled blood.

But they missed the structure.

Michael Saylor didn’t finance MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin position with margin or callable debt.
He issued convertible bonds and senior notes - non-recourse, fixed-interest, and in many cases, unsecured.

That means:

No margin calls.

No forced liquidation.

No BTC fire sales.

Even if BTC crashes temporarily, the company doesn’t owe more, it just keeps holding.
And as BTC recovers or runs higher, MSTR becomes a proxy moonshot with leverage, without the blow-up risk shorts were betting on.

Short sellers got squeezed not by hype…
…but by poor due diligence.
iDIOTS, we call them poor, lol 🤣😆
