@coopernicus01 Ok yeah I get it (I get it so much that I wrote a long ass reply but didn't like how I worded most of it and just deleted the whole thing)
@snapss Yeah I realized shortly after posting this thread that the best move is to not use the machine because you might just end up driving yourself insane trying to change what can't be changed
Suppose you have a fortune telling machine that's guaranteed to show you any moment in history, past or present, with 100% accuracy, and you decide to be a little goody-two-shoes and only use it to prevent as many preventable disasters as you can (no gambling or investing). 1/?๐งต
Technically, you observing the future doesn't lock in or change anything since the observation itself is part of the full timeline already known by the machine, but that won't stop you from trying to make use of this dumbass machine that's been pissing me off for the whole day.
@veH0rny Besides, they've had the ability to roll back and modify the chain since day 1 and it will probably stay that way. What good does it do anyone for them to pretend they can't do anything for the sake of decentralization and let the criminal get away with people's money?
@chefgoose When you bridge to an L2 you trade some of the security and decentralization guarantees of most L1s for the convenience and speed of an L2. Are they supposed to pretend they can't recover the money from the hacker, even though they always could, just so they look decentralized?
