🇺🇸 Fed’s Bostic on Moody’s US rating downgrade:
📉 The downgrade could raise funding costs
🏦 May ripple through the economy and bond markets
👀 Will monitor how it affects demand for U.S. Treasuries
💡 Unclear if U.S. consumers can fully absorb tariff-related costs

🧠 Vitalik: Ethereum L1 Scaling Must Protect Local Node Usability
In his latest post, @VitalikButerin proposes adjusting Ethereum's scaling roadmap to avoid making full node operation too hard:
🔹 Prioritize EIP-4444: Nodes only store 36 days of history
🔹 Build decentralized historical data storage
🔹 Reform gas costs: Storage becomes expensive, execution cheaper
🔹 Enable “partial stateless nodes”: Verify blocks with only partial state, enhancing privacy & censorship resistance
⚠️ The core belief: Running a node should remain accessible to individuals — decentralization depends on it.

🇺🇸 US Treasury Sec: “I don’t really trust Moody’s.”
On May 18, when asked about the downgrade of US credit rating, Secretary Wally Adeyemo casually replied:
👉 “I don’t really trust Moody’s.”
📉 Moody’s cut the US sovereign credit rating from Aaa → Aa1, citing rising debt, soaring interest costs, and projected deficits nearing 9% of GDP by 2035.
📌 It’s the first downgrade by Moody’s since 1917, and the last AAA from major agencies is gone.
🧨 Debt keeps climbing. What’s scarier than a downgrade? No one caring anymore.
