It's a problem on their side because all items in the RSS feed have the same link. This should either be fixed or the Bankless RSS feed should be temporary removed from the list of all feeds.

Many bitcoiners would actually prefer to have an access to a web3-like experience with non-custodial exchanges, stablecoins, decentralized governance, etc. They just don't trust any other blockchain than Bitcoin. Although, there is also an ideological war going on so many bitcoiners won't use words like web3, DeFi, DAO, NFT, and would prefer not to touch even off-chain tools built by other ecosystems. However, NFTs are already on the Bitcoin blockchain (ordinals), signing messages with a private key using web3-like browser extensions has been lately popularized among bitcoiners with the Nostr protocol, more and more privacy-conscious bitcoiners start using private messaging app Session, which is built on top of the proof-of-stake fork of Monero called Oxen (formerly known as LOKI), and DAOs are coming soon with projects like Nostrocket. And we should keep in mind that not only Bitcoin people started exploring web3, but also some Ethereum folks have been moving towards Bitcoin due to censorship/centralization concerns since Ethereum transitioned to proof-of-stake in September last year. The bottom line is that merging of communities is inevitable.

Many people mistakenly see the recent regulatory pressure as bearish news for the ecosystem, while in reality it's the opposite. For example, if the environment was very crypto-friendly the Arbitrum team would have less incentives to choose the "direct DAO" modal instead of playing the more common "decentralized theater" with a multi-sig to implement the outcomes of governance proposals. However, due to a very hostile regulatory environment, the Arbitrum team had almost no choice, but to go with a "direct DAO" approach, meaning that the community will be able to directly change the contract based on the outcome of governance proposals, which is a great contribution to decentralization and a good example for other projects. Thanks Gary The Destroyer.

That's a good article, it has the right accent on blaming CeFi instead of crypto in general. Unfortunately, a lot of people see the collapse of centralized entities like 3AC, Celsius, and FTX as something bad for the crypto industry, but that's ignorance at best or straight-up anti-crypto propaganda at worse. Crypto is about self-custody, it's not about entrusting your life savings with some kids in the Bahamas. In order to start another bull run enough newcomers have to be educated about the basics such as "not your keys, not your coins". Newbies have to go through their Mt. Gox event in order to learn. That's how new investors turn into "smart money". In that sense, the collapse of so many CeFi players is extremely bullish on a long run, bringing us closer to the start of the next cycle. The FTX bankruptcy will also bring more regulations, which is very bullish as well, since that will push the crypto community to even more decentralization, censorship-resistance and privacy-by-default. In other words, 2022 was rather annus mirabilis than annus horribilis.

Lobbying is only one of the paths. Regulators are necessary for the evolution of the space the same as black hat hackers. They find weaknesses and attack, while the community learns how to protect itself, recover, and prevent similar attacks in the future. In other words, the harsher the regulatory environment, the more decentralized and censorship-resistant protocols become, so such news are very bullish in the long run. For example, nuking DAI would cause a market crash, but it will be a good reminder about regulatory risks when using real world assets as collateral, which will make future protocols more resilient.

You're right. Many EU citizens believe in collective responsibility and blame an average ivan for the doings of his government. However, keep in mind that most people watch the mainstream media, so they simply don't know that the EU is the largest sponsor of Russia and that EU countries have been selling a lot of arms and riot control equipment to Russia until recently.
