The Ether Machine, Blob usage going up and more - The Daily Gwei Refuel #844 - Ethereum Updates

In this episode of The Daily Gwei Refuel, Anthony Sassano recaps the latest Ethereum ecosystem news, highlighting Ethereum's upcoming 10th birthday and his planned celebration in Sydney. He discusses the unlikelihood of ETH reaching a new all-time high by the birthday but remains optimistic about it reaching $4k. The episode covers Joseph Chalham joining Sharplink as co-CEO, a significant move given Chalham's background at BlackRock and his belief in Ethereum's role in global finance. Sassano also discusses the launch of Ether Machine, a treasury company with $1.5 billion in committed capital, and the increasing trend of treasury companies buying and staking ETH, creating a liquidity flywheel. He touches on the ETH ETFs' massive inflows in July, surpassing the previous 12 months combined, and the potential for further price increases. The conversation also covers the Ethereum gas limit increase, discussions around EPBS and its potential issues, and the benefits of Block Level Access Lists (BALs). Finally, Sassano reflects on a recent podcast with David Hoffman, discussing their differing worldviews and approaches to Ethereum.
