my take on the STATE OF ETHEREUM L2s and where things are headed:
while it may be hard to grasp, chain minimalism doesn't make sense in a L2 world. we will actually see HUNDREDS or THOUSANDS of L2s, especially as bridges and wallets begin to abstract away complexity for end

it is critically important that we do not allow web3 to make the same mistakes which allowed web2 to be 100% controlled by ~5 centralized corporations

the most dangerous place to be in crypto is to dabble and "know a little bit"
