ETHSydney - Not Dead Yet
Not Dead Yet: Signs of Life in the Bear
They're saying crypto's dead. Every headline is about AI. Meanwhile, the fundamentals are the strongest they've ever been. Stablecoins are going mainstream, DeFi is making real inroads with institutions, and the narrative finally hangs together. Agentic commerce is building momentum on crypto rails. Yet vibes have never been more dire, especially in the work of Ethereum.
Crypto didn’t die - the noise did. What’s left is a more serious, more technical, and more resilient ecosystem, and Ethereum remains the place where developers, founders, and communities come to build what’s next.
Welcome to zombieland: the lights are off, but the builders never left.
Join ETH Sydney for an evening on what's actually alive in crypto. Talks, a security panel, show-and-tell, drinks, and the usual Sydney crew, plus a warm-up before November's hackathon.
Featuring
Victor Zhang (OpenPassKey) on stablecoin payments and building the PoS
Roberto Saltini (Ethereum Foundation) on The Road to Fast Finality and Beyond
Bokky Poobah is going to address the biggest question: Is crypto dead?
