There is an fair argument that core devs should be paid market rates for their skillset, but that has shown itself to be a race to the top with the teams (many L2s etc.) getting talent because they can pay 20x what a fair rate is due to their recent token launch. It also doesn't solve issues 2 and 3.

Every single weakness in the Ethereum Foundation leadership style has always been present but was swept under the rug while "number was going up". If there is a bright side to underperformance, it is that it brings some pressure to do some spring cleaning.

It's not built on Ethereum though - it's built on the Polygon PoS chain which isn't a layer 2 - it's at best a "sidechain" but really it's a different L1. I believe the plan is to still transition the PoS chain to a zkEVM layer 2 on Ethereum, but that hasn't happened yet.

He’s right. Bitcoin is NOT digital gold. Gold is an approximation of an uncheatable distributed ledger using atoms. But with a broken scarcity model. Bitcoin actually IS an uncheatable distributed ledger. Gold tried to be Bitcoin but before we had the tech.

Method for protecting solo stakers when penalizing builder–proposer collusion in sealed execution auctions: The commit structure with sealed bids acts as proof of readiness (PoR). Only proposers who have issued a PoR are penalized if they do not propose.

The biggest UX anti-pattern in crypto is the fact that you can barely use dApps on mobile devices. Nobody wants to open a buggy browser window within their mobile wallet to use an app. People want to go to a website, login, and interact - all in their browser, PWA, or native
