What people say
Received · 236Given · 0“High-signal shitposting”Mostly sharp takes and shitposts from deep inside crypto Twitter. Mix of Ethereum-native insights, protocol drama, and meme-fueled market commentary. Not always serious, but usually on-point.

Son Materi · 1227· 1y ago4“TOP SHARP MIND”David Hoffman is a cornerstone of crypto thought leadership. As the co-founder of Bankless, he’s not just reporting on the future of Web3 he’s helping shape it. His ability to distill complex concepts into powerful narratives makes him one of the most influential voices in Ethereum and beyond. Whether it’s through sharp interviews, deep analysis, or relentless advocacy for decentralization, David consistently pushes the space forward. If there’s a Mount Rushmore for crypto media, his face is already on it.

He is a big chad on CT. dropping pure Web3 gold, spitting facts about Ethereum and the whole L1/L2 scene like it’s a fresh NFT drop. They’re all in on that decentralized future, hyping up stuff like EigenLayer’s crypto economic services real talk, it’s dope to see someone so stoked on trustless systems that let devs build without middlemen. honestly a valuable guy you don't want to miss on your TL

Elina · 1228· 1y ago4“A Meme-Fueled Take on Crypto Chaos"”He blends sharp technical expertise with an investor’s instinct, delivering incisive takes on Ethereum’s open ethos. Recently, he’s been dissecting market crashes—like that savage 22% S&P plunge—with a clarity that’s oddly reassuring. His rants against tariffs are razor-sharp, and his meme-heavy approach to navigating the chaos never fails to amuse.

Through his work with Bankless and daily insights on @TrustlessState, David has become a cornerstone of Web3 storytelling. He doesn’t just share news — he translates the chaos of frontier tech into a narrative that inspires belief and action. His vision of crypto as a tool for freedom, not just profit, resonates deeply. Whether it’s his pinned tweet — “Crypto wasn’t created to make you rich. It was created to set you free.” — or his interviews with leading builders, he always delivers signal over noise. David is one of the few voices who consistently pushes for higher values in this space: decentralization, transparency, and resilience. Worth following? Absolutely. If you want to stay grounded in why we’re all here — and where we’re going — David is essential.
