Looks like the Ripple/XRP team is sinking to new levels of strangeness. They're claiming that their shitcoin should not be called a security for *public policy reasons*, namely because Bitcoin and Ethereum are "Chinese-controlled". 😂😂 ripple.com/wp-content/upl…

Tim Beiko | timbeiko.eth @TimBeiko
It will be a challenge to fill Hudson's shoes in AllCoreDevs, but I couldn't be more excited to start 😁 We've got a ton of work on the eth1 roadmap with 1559, account abstraction, stateless, BLS support and, obviously, the eth2 merge. My hope is to help facilitate it 🔜🤞🏻!

Hudson Jameson @hudsonjameson
After 4 years of facilitating the bi-weekly Ethereum Core Developer meetings (aka AllCoreDevs calls) I've decided to step down from that role. The fantastic @TimBeiko will be replacing me in this role after the Berlin hard fork. Thread:
