1coinfirmation founder:
“2 satoshis on the TRUMP memecoin:
- Net positive. Vibe shift from Biden anti-crypto era to Trump era is great
- Trump owning 80% and timing launch hours before inauguration is predatory and many will likely get hurt by it. Trump should be airdropping to the people rather than enriching himself or his team on this. There's a way to spin it that way but unclear if that's the direction it will go. At the moment it’s looking like an FTX coin
- This isn't as big a deal as some are saying and will blow over soon. Mute the people saying it’s a top signal and also mute the people saying it’s the biggest thing ever
How big it is totally depends on how it’s treated by Trump and team moving forward. There’s a wide spectrum of possibilities. If it’s just a cash grab that they don’t do much with post launch, it’s not a big deal (like the NFTs). If they focus on about it and use it for good (airdropping to MAGA, etc), it’s a big deal.
I don’t think anyone knows how it will play out.”

Vitalik Buterin: “We are indeed currently in the process of large changes to EF leadership structure, which has been ongoing for close to a year. Some of this has already been executed on and made public, and some is still in progress.
What we're trying to achieve is primarily the following goals:
* Improve level of technical expertise within EF leadership
* Improve two-way communications and ties between EF leadership and the ecosystem actors, old and new, that it is our role to support: users (individual and institutional), app devs, wallets, L2s
* Bring in fresh talent, improve execution ability and speed
* Become more actively supportive of app builders, and make sure important values and inalienable rights (esp privacy, open source, censorship resistance) are a reality for users including at the app layer
* Continue to increase our use of decentralized and privacy tech and the Ethereum chain, including for payments and treasury management
Explicit *non-goals* are:
* Execute some kind of ideological / vibez pivot from feminized wef soyboy mentality to bronze age mindset
* Start aggressively lobbying regulators and powerful political figures (esp in USA, but really anywhere, especially large powerful countries), and risking compromising Ethereum's position as a global neutral platform
* Become an arena for vested interests
* Become a highly centralized org, or even more of a "main character" within Ethereum
These things aren't what EF does and this isn't going to change. People seeking a different vision are welcome to start their own orgs.”
