@laurashin honestly 4 years is not much when you think the chain is being built to last multiple decades if not centuries

This is a great example of how disconnected VCs and VC media are from the real market. Well they do have incentives to be so disconnected.

The last week has been one if not the best week since I started working full time in crypto (7 years ago, before I only worked part time in crypto).

Ethereum is about to become stupidly cheap, fast, will have privacy, the ZK, consensus and block building are completely changing while becoming all formally verified. I will write many posts as soon as I publish my AI paper and working code about what I'm seeing in Ethereum land. I've never been so bullish on Ethereum roadmap and execution.

@_choppingblock @TrustlessState the end state of ethereum imho is very simple:

it wants to the settlement layer of any asset or interactions that has value.

its value will be based on the network effects of the aforementioned interactions.

[parida @lparida27]

@JoshKale @scottthomasm 87% is not 100%.

So technically FSD doesn't work yet

[parida @lparida27]

@JoshKale Bro calm down.

The Cybercab at $25,000 you are so bullish about does not exist yet.

And we are yet to see a Tesla driving without any driver on public roads end to end.

[parida @lparida27]

@yugacohler @binji_x @RemindMe_OfThis the ethereum network is being designed to outlast probably all of us..5 years is not too long..

@BobLoukas people use AI because its ready, people hardly use crypto(read: blockchain tech) because its not ready.

its as simple as that.
