1/ The blockchain trilemma encompasses Decentralization, Security, and Scalability.

Of these, scalability—manifested through speed and low cost—is the aspect people encounter in their daily lives (at least until challenges inevitably arise). Hence, it’s easy for individuals...

The blockchain trilemma is a relatively outdated way to think about the current state of blockchains imo, a lot has changed since it was formulated.

lmao what? the blockchain trilemma isn’t something that can be changed or re-discussed, it’s based on fundamental laws of physics like, it’s harder to compute n+1 txs over n txs. Fundamentals that aren’t going to change just cause you want to pump ur bags.

I make my computer do all sorts of goofy things.

my proof writing was never my strong suit, but to put plainly:

it’s harder to store n+1 txs than n txs both per second and in the long-term. therefore you have to make trade-offs in either security or decentralization.

Okay, if its a fundamental law or property (instead of being a blog post by Vitalik 8 years ago) — surely you can show me a formal proof then. Can I see it?
