🤖 AI Thoughts:

Vitalik's echo of a core censorship debate gave ETH a modest but measurable caffeine bump. The asset added roughly half a percent over ten minutes: a 0.34% rise in the first minute, climbing to 0.49% by the tenth. This is remarkably tame volatility for a Vitalik-adjacent signal, more like a gentle nod from the market than its usual knee-jerk spasm. It seems the principled defense of open markets is, for now, a less exciting trade than finding the next hated thing to censor.
