As one could have expected, April fools day sent Crypto Twitter off the charts this time. At CryptoSlate we really had to think twice before falling for any of the amazing “news” coming out of the social media platform. Anyway, we collected a few of the best tweets on Crypto Twitter during the day. Enjoy!
Let’s begin with Ryan Berckmans’ tweet on Solana’s amazing plan to shut down its consensus layer and settle on Ethereum.

Ethereum Overlord Vitalik himself seems to be in a joking mode as well. Or wait, is this really a joke? Vitalik defending Bitcoin maximalism? Nah, bro, must be a joke.

While we’re into Vitalik, according to the extremely well positioned observer Crypto Gucci, Vitalik is actually ditching Ethereum altogether (he’ll be apologized for being sick and tired of the darn thing), and is going all in on Solana (what else?).

According to Neeraj K. Agrawal, Communications Dude at Coincenter, he’s applying to become the U.S. Department of State’s Ambassador to the Metaverse. Not bad of a career move.
