💬 CleanSpark CEO Zach Bradford expects bitcoin to hit $200 ,000 this cycle.
“Based on my current analysis, I believe we could see bitcoin peak just below $200 ,000, within the next 18 months.”
Bradford also said in an interview with Bernstein that #Bitcoin miners are currently undervalued compared to their rivals who are diversifying into AI.
“I think we will start to see a significant surge in bitcoin prices after the election through January.”

Sentiment is down, and critics have been quick to point out ETH's underperformance against SOL while largely attributing this to a perceived loss of mindshare and users to L2s.
This narrative has sparked a crucial debate: Are L2s Ethereum?
arjunnchand
brings the analysis...
========================================
🤔 Symbiotic or Separatist?
L2s have been a core component of Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap from the very beginning. They were envisioned as extensions (technical and cultural) of Ethereum, designed to expand its capabilities and attract a broader user base.
At their core, L2s are deeply linked with Ethereum. They share its DNA — relying on ETH as the currency, benefitting from Ethereum's security blanket, and utilizing it for data storage and settlement. It's like a startup leveraging its parent company's infrastructure and brand recognition, a win-win for both.
The symbiotic relationship between L2s and Ethereum is undeniable. L2s thrive on Ethereum's infrastructure and security, while Ethereum benefits from the increased activity and increased demand for ETH, making it a better store of value.
By offering lower fees and faster transaction times, L2s have made it easier for developers to build different types of applications. Look at the explosion of memecoins on Base or the rise of SocialFi platforms like Farcaster creating new markets for users.
Beyond that, L2s are becoming major hubs for DeFi activity, and ETH, the asset, is at the heart of this ecosystem. Look at the numbers:
arbitrum
,
Optimism
,
@base
— these chains are dominated by ETH-related assets.
🧛♂️ Vampire attack?
However, one of the primary arguments against the rollup-centric approach to scaling Ethereum is the assumption that L2s may not continue to rely on Ethereum. Sure, L2s and Ethereum seem like a happy family now. But what if L2s build their own empires and ditch Ethereum altogether? No more relying on Ethereum for security, no more ETH as gas, not even needing Ethereum's block space.
This "L2s go rogue" fear is a legitimate concern. Technically, they could build independent ecosystems with their own validators as they would then be able to own the entire modular blockchain stack. So, is this the future – a messy breakup between L2s and Ethereum? Not necessarily.
We can all agree that there are perhaps a few too many L2s. Too many copycats. Too little differentiation. It's like a thousand startups chasing the same market, all promising the same thing. This isn't healthy.
What we need are L2s that matter. L2s that offer something unique, something that sets them apart. Security, app diversity, GTM strategy — these are the areas where we need to see real innovation.
But we must be wary of ‘echo chambers’. These zones of chains should not become isolated universes. A healthy L2 ecosystem is one where chains work together, not in isolation. We need bridges, not moats.
We need collaboration. We need communication. We need education. We need incentives. We need to build shared infrastructure and standards that foster seamless connectivity across L2s. Only then can we truly win together.
💭 Closing Thoughts
You can say that L2s aren’t Ethereum. You can argue L2s aren’t even extensions of Ethereum. But you cannot deny the fact that L2s enhance the utility of Ethereum and ETH.
The "L2s vs. Ethereum" debate is a false dichotomy. This isn't a zero-sum game. Ultimately, Ethereum and L2s are in this together. Let's build a future where Ethereum and L2s thrive as a symbiotic whole, and push the crypto ecosystem forward.

🇦🇪 The United Arab Emirates is asking the French government to urgently provide Telegram CEO Pavel Durov with "all consular services".
Consular services are a series of services offered by diplomatic representations, intended to support and protect interests abroad.
This ranges from assistance in the event of detention, police custody or administrative detention, assistance in choosing a lawyer, provision of information on legal proceedings abroad, etc.
“Caring for citizens, preserving their interests and providing them with all necessary support are top priorities for the UAE.”

The Legacy of Zuzalu: One Year Later 🌇
Can the ephemeral city experiment inspired by Vitalik live on?
One year ago this week, our very own
TrustlessState shared details about his experience living with some of crypto’s brightest minds in the ephemeral city called Zuzalu.
You can read David's full breakdown of his experience below:
👉 http://bankless.cc/David_Z...
This popup city housed over 200 people from diverse regions and fields for two months. David conducted a number of interviews with fellow attendees during this time on topics spanning zero-knowledge proofs, longevity and biotech, network states, and public goods. You can check out those conversations below.
👉 http://bankless.cc/ZuzaluC...
Inspired and initiated by VitalikButerin, Zuzalu blended structure and spontaneity to construct a successful experiment, but almost immediately after the ephemeral city dispersed, attendees wondered how they could keep the fire of Zuzalu alive and continue to offer places for the ethos of Ethereum to connect with disparate emerging technologies.
Let’s take a look at what they’ve been up to since 👇
🏡 The Rise of Zu-Villages
The success of Zuzalu sparked interest in continuing the concept of crypto pop-up cities called Zu-villages.
Earlier this year, a gitcoin grants program offered 250 ETH in funding for creating Zu-villages and Zu-related technology. The round ran from Jan. 15 to Feb. 15, providing funding for 32 events like JoinEdgeCity, Esmerelda and ZuBerlinCity, which are currently running or have just finished, and 28 tools like ZupassProject and MuseMatrix_, a DeSci research institute.
Many of these tie into Zuzalu City, a community hub for Zu-villages and related software, including a calendar of pop-up cities like the few we've highlighted below:
Edge Esmeralda
The ongoing Edge Esmeralda is a month-long popup village focused on incubating novel technologies and new ways of living, aiming to build a foundation for a permanent new town, Esmeralda, around Healdsburg, CA. With $217K in funding from the Zuzalu grants round, Esmeralda put together a series of events centered around human organization, robotics, artificial intelligence, real-world crypto applications, and health and longevity.
The rise of Zu-villages illustrates the enduring impact of Zuzalu, with these pop-up cities continuing to foster collaboration, technological advancement, and a decentralized way of living across the globe.
These pop-up villages demonstrate a model where individuals can co-live, co-work, and co-create, blurring the lines between professional collaboration and communal living to create atmospheres aligned with personal sovereignty and collective problem-solving. The transient nature of these communities allows for flexibility and adaptability, where new ideas can be tested and refined in real time.
It highlights a future where governance is more fluid, technology enhances participants' health, and community building is a continuous, evolving process.
By providing spaces for like-minded individuals to come together, Zuzalu and its successors create fertile ground for social experimentation and technological innovation. They embody the spirit of decentralized, autonomous living, further reflecting the broader societal trends towards alternative lifestyles in the digital age. Overall, the legacy of Zuzalu lies in its ability to inspire and enact a vision of a forward-thinking world, where dynamic, transient communities can thrive and innovate, and tech and health exist in harmony.
