@alphaazeta @VitalikButerin lmao what a bad take This is a feature, not a bug. It's what decentralization is all about. It's a neutral protocol, anyone can build anything, for good and bad. It's the same argument they use against privacy tech. \

Yes, we are in a bubble. Also yes, web3 is at the twilight between niche and mainstream. A bear market will correct on "what" we are working on, not "why" or "how many". Fewer NFTs, fewer DAOs, more infrastructure, more rollups, bridges, MEV, data avaialbilty.

If you want to **really** get the basics of STARKs, look no further. It has some math, but that is the beauty of it. You need to follow the process by hand to really internalize the concepts. I discovered it thanks to @gakonst GH account. Pure alpha.

Actually, this is a rather good idea. If you believe in a particular open-source project, now you can *go long* on it. Perhaps @radicle has an important role to play in this. Crypto is so much more than DeFi. Crypto is about re-organizing the human society in every level.

Please stop saying this. Ethereum isn't slow because of Geth. You could 10x the gas limit and Geth would be perfectly happy. Ethereum is slow because the state grows like crazy. Whether Geth or any other client, it's the same shit. You need to store that state somewhere.
