From 15 activities · Apr 2026Co-founder of Bankless, known for explaining Ethereum and crypto through long-form podcasting, but widely criticized for undisclosed paid promotions, token dumps, extracting grants through multiple entities, rugging their own token, and posting divisive anti-Muslim and pro-war rhetoric that contradicts the platform's stated ethos of decentralization and community empowerment.
What people say
Received · 236Given · 0“Master optimistic Storyteller”David stands out as a sharp and astute voice in the world of cryptocurrency. Presenting himself as an "optimistic frontier technology storyteller," he blends keen analysis with an available, lighthearted tone that makes even difficult subjects easy to read. His postings usually strike a balance of hard-hitting criticism and friendly repartee, both reflecting his acclimation to the environment and his ability to connect with audiences on a human level. While his storytelling ability is a particular strength, the blog could benefit from more frequent posting and a more focused thematic direction to more live up to the grand vision heralded in his bio. By and large, @TrustlessState is an insightful and considered commentator whose unique voice adds depth and personality to the otherwise cacophonous debates around crypto and emerging technologies.

Then they should not have started a war. It’s quite simple.”> **@TrustlessState:** > 3 years ago today, Hamas invaded Israel from Gaza and murdered 1,200 people, the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. > > Hamas then retreated behind its own people, using Gaza's civilians as a narrative shield of "oppression and resistance." A week-long invasion became a 3-year propaganda war against the Jews. > > I see antisemitism as a barometer for the collective mental health of a society. > > Inflation, wealth inequality, increased costs of living, are all squeezing society, and people go looking for a villain to blame. > > Social media, expertly leveraged by global Islamism (the Islamic Regime, Qatar, Turkey) to create the pro-palestine movement, provides the answer: the Jews. Jews, the most oppressed people in history, are somehow always the oppressor. > > We are seeing the same beginnings of the Islamo-Marxist alliance that created the Islamic revolution that has opressed the people of Iran since 1979. > > (btw, all the Marxists in that alliance were executed once the Islamists took power - "Queers for Palestine!" is a modern echo of this) > > I don't know why society has singled out the Jews, but IMO how a country treats its Jewish diaspora reflects its overall mental health. > > Like the Iranian diaspora, when Jews are free to participate in a country's economy, that country prospers. Both are among the most hardworking, entrepreneurial, and successful groups in the world. The cultures that have been oppressed the most, and that value freedom and modernity, have produced outsized wealth, knowledge, and contributions to the world. > > We, as society, must protect the Jews. > > I hope this modern wave of antisemitism becomes a thing of the past, and Jews can once again feel safe in the modern Western society they helped create. > > 🇮🇱🇮🇷🇺🇦🇺🇸 > **@Ninjanomics1:** > @TrustlessState It is not anti Semitic to say zisrael is killing children in Gaza. > > 20,000 dead , innocent kids. > > What's you great explanation for kids with sniper bullets in the head in the west bank? 🤔 > **@TrustlessState:** > @Ninjanomics1 This is a made-up number about made-up children which is why it is anti Semitic > **@FroggoGobbo:** > @TrustlessState @Ninjanomics1 I am sure every major news agency is worse at fact checking this than you > > The amount of arrogance it takes to have these beliefs, while closing ones eyes to the suffering of gazans is unbelievable > > You think the documented settler violence in the westbank is made up as well? > **@TrustlessState:** > @FroggoGobbo @Ninjanomics1 > suffering of gazans > > Then they should not have started a war.
