Is Tornado Cash the best mixer?

Is it still operational? I want to exercise my right to privacy but am unsure which mixer to use.

Ethereum chance to be at low 2k
Ethereum (Reddit)

In one forum (not here), someone pointed out that ETH can goes down to low 2000 or lower again before the next massive bull run of projected 6k or more. Is it wise to wait for that to invest? I see similar trend happened for BTC before. I'm not a pro! Genuinely seeking knowledge from you folks...

Do you think Solana is worth owning to complement Eth holdings? Why do you think Eth is better?
Ethereum (Reddit)

Speed and Scalability: Solana’s 65,000+ TPS and low fees give it a strong edge for high-volume apps like DeFi and NFTs, increasing adoption likelihood; Ethereum’s 30 TPS limits it, though upgrades like Pectra may help close the gap.
- User Activity and Revenue: Solana leads in transactions, active users, and fees, rivaling Ethereum despite lower DApp revenue ($6M vs $35M weekly), suggesting higher growth potential in retail-driven markets.
- Staking Yields: Solana’s ~8% APY attracts more stakers than Ethereum’s ~3.5%, boosting token demand and price stability.
- Market Cap Potential: Analysts (e.g., VanEck) predict Solana could reach 50% of Ethereum’s market cap (~$330/SOL), with 80% probability of convergence this cycle per some experts, driven by U.S.-centric policies favoring Solana.
- Ecosystem Maturity: Ethereum’s established DeFi and institutional base provide resilience and security advantages, reducing crash risks; Solana’s younger network faces higher volatility but faster innovation.
- Price Performance Trends: In H1 2025, Solana declined less (-19% vs Ethereum’s -25%), with metrics showing Solana at 33% Ethereum’s valuation but outperforming in adoption—favoring Solana for short-term gains, Ethereum for long-term stability.
- Risks: Solana’s centralization concerns and past outages could deter enterprise adoption, risking price volatility; Ethereum’s robust decentralization, ETF staking potential, and institutional trust bolster its long-term outperformance, though slower innovation may limit short-term gains.

Exchanging Monero to ETH
Ethereum (Reddit)

Hi folks, as the noscript says, I am looking for a way to swap my Monero to Ethereum, i need an exchange that wont freeze my orders like Changelly/Changenow does, since my size is 14 ETH.

I am also closed at the idea to use a centralized option or exchange due to their delisting/withdrawal or hold risks on Monero and I don't neither like so much the idea of P2P; its an headache all the time and it has big slippage. Any suggestion? Thanks to you!

Ethereum's Biggest Problem Isn't Tech – It's Storytelling
Ethereum (Reddit)

Heyo,

Chris here – I'm Head of Design at Octant. Epoch 9 is about to go live, and this one matters. Ethereum's tech is undoubtedly brilliant, but let's be real... try explaining it to your mum, someone at the pub, or anyone who thinks Web3 is "just gambling," and you'll lose them (and your personal credibility) in ten seconds. The few creators who make Ethereum make sense are out there – but they're running on fumes while "gm gm" noise cheapens (or outright buries) their efforts.

So, we're teaming up with the Ethereum Foundation to fund storytellers who can pass the "explain it to your mum" test. Memes, docs, deep dives – whatever gets the normies to get Ethereum. If you've made content that resonated, pitch your next thing – we want to fund it!

Apps close Aug 27. Details: https://blog.octant.build/calling-eth-creators-epoch-9-applications-are-now-open-2/

Tag great creators. Share the stuff that...
