@BitcoinNewsCom Humans are an attempt to destroy the solar system, you didn't really think BTC could stop them, did you

@bramcohen I had the epiphany today that with the scalability/fee issues Ethereum is not @bankless but rather stateless, as in: you can always swim or take a boat into the ocean, enter stateless territory and get eaten by sharks! You become bankless when "we the people" can do our banking

Ethereum was supposed to be the 'World Computer', with infinite on-chain scaling allowing people to use it as a real computational resource. This was always an obviously dumb idea. All on-chain validation has to be replicated by all full nodes, which extremely redundant.
This plan has failed. Even dialed up to near the breaking point and with a lot of engineering put into raising that limit Ethereum still only supports roughly double the transaction throughput of Bitcoin. This lackluster even for a blockchain performance is because Solidity and the EVM are a garbage platform and there's little work going into the mundane engineering problem of making something better. But even with a great constant factor performance of 10x the capacity it does now the 'World Computer' idea was always a delusional fantasy.
I bring this up now not to taunt them but because this change of plans has conveniently been forgotten about as if it never happened. Instead Ethereum development has managed to make the whole thing much more centralized and exacerbated their MEV problems.
It appears even plans of sharding (also a bad idea) have quietly been abandoned in favor of support for ZK rollups and proof of publication, which is a reasonable plan but still just a plan, and gets a lot less benefit for a lot more work than the mundane boring problem of getting state channels working.
There's this public narrative that Ethereum developers are a bunch of geniuses doing amazing things. They aren't. Development to date has accomplished very little and continues to focus on fun exciting projects instead of the much more prosaic problems like Solidity being a security nightmare where literal billions of dollars continue to be stolen.

@MoonshadowLynn @PhillyTechGuy @scott_jesko @DavidWolfe I was just teasing, obviously, but we may not be on the same page. Strangely I did not get a notification for this either. google.com/search?client=…

@DennisonBertram Yes, it's end to end secure, from chip manufacturing to postal service, it's all tamperproof, the only weak link is you

@Gerashchenko_en I'm with her on that. Happy and affluent hoes are the epitome of a happy and affluent society. Clearly Britain is in big trouble.

@CurveFinance is it just me, or are risk warnings such as polygon.curve.fi/factory/339/ri… not loading at all properly?

@AlpacaFinance TVL dropped last week with a -25% on leveraged farming. Anyone knows why such a big drop? #defi

@mspears96 There's a cottage industry of fake YouTube stories monetizing this photo, oh well!

@olisaobioha @FightHaven Reckless indeed, especially since he saw the two ladies passing, he scraped the second lady with his timing. Should be disciplined!
English

@FightHaven I always find it funny when ppl talk about “cheap shots” like this is an officiated match with rules 😂, this is street fighting and there are no rules. That being said, dude went too far.

@vadiks2003 @FalconryFinance @mattrom22 not true. Early versions of the Matrix had objects mirrored up-side down, but the human program exhibited extreme nausea and vomiting in front of it, so it had to change
English

@FalconryFinance @mattrom22 because the matrix programmer chose to render mirror reflections vertically

@Axl_Satellite strangely there's a "typo" at the end of a testnet transfer to kava and the link is broken https://explorer.evm-alpha.kava.ioaddress/0x...

Finally exterminated curv.io and related scams, they'll be back no doubt, but it was so hard and time consuming! And they were active for months before I discovered them. Crime pays! @CurveFinance
English

so, I reported the redirection-powered crypto scam curv.fi securewebdev.com/web3-connect/ to @namesilo and they say none of their business? Off to @fbi . Is it clever for scammers to use redirections so nobody feels responsible? @CurveFinance

@TheStalwart Call me a cynic, but if a large number of normal people start buying multi-year treasuries, I’ll 100% expect the government to stop issuing long term treasuries and double the interest rate just to crash bond prices… can’t ever let the little guys win ‘cause that’s inflationary!
