☺️ I was just called ZK maximalist by @jarzoombek and I think I like it. 🤔 It describes very well my main thesis around blockchains: ZK is the most important invention since smart contracts and PoW. 🤯 It is not an L1 or L2 war it is a prover war now.

Najwiekszy upgrade w historii blockchaina. Dramatyczna zmiana w relacji podarzy i popytu. „Kapiszon”, „nawis podazowy”. Blockchain okiem spekulanta. Bez komentarza….
Tu się szykuje spora "rzeź" na krypto po kapiszonie z merge. Za duży nawis podażowy na którego nie ma chętnych. Myśle że "Perspektywiczne" $ETH przetestuje ostatnie denko na 950. Ciężkie czasy idą dla krypto.

1/ I also read the LayerZero whitepaper. Not impressed. The system is only as safe as "Oracle" and "Relayer".It is basically it is a bridge with multisig 2 out of 2. Twist: oracle is chainlink. 👇.

Important difference between the cloud and blockchain is simple. When overloaded:.👉 blockchain gets more expensive.👉 cloud stops serving (some) customers. Know the difference. Some “blockchains” are just cloud with extra steps.

1/ Sad reality of my homeland is majority of citizens:.- have no idea about economy.- prefer small short-term gains over long term wealth.- does not value hard work. As a result government is drowning our economy with ever growing inflation, taxes and social wars.

Quod erat demonstrandum. There is no such thing as free lunch. There is no such thing as cheaper blockchain - just less used one cc @jarzoombek.
🤡Users of a centrally controlled sidechain are shocked to realize operators can single-handedly increase their usage fees by 30x (or any number really). 😉"Decentralization does not matter".
