Interesting, the site says "Last Updated December 2014", but has a sidebar that references "web3" which wasn't a term in 2014 https://i.imgur.com/0aXq2jc.png

it's ironic that both of those issues are caused by people genuinely trying to solve another set of problems and not seeing the trade offs

Do you have any content on your views on Solana, @dcposch.eth? Would love to learn more about your perspective!

Always love a different perspective, very easy to become religious about technology without that! I want to build tools that are as accessible to as many people as possible, so very useful to hear why Solana might be preventing you from using Ahoy

But I'm not a L1 maxi, just want to build one whatever tools make it easiest (and secure) for people to put money behind the things the care about

Totally, back in January (when we decided to build on Solana) the wallets/UX of Polygon/Optimism didn't feel as strong as Solana (optimism TX are still pretty pricy). Onboarding non-crypto people is a goal for us and that seemed easier without explaining L1/L2 to users

Some ideas I'm thinking about pooling capital for: - hiring lobbyists - funding Coin Center (or EFF) to sue the Treasury Department - paying/reaching out to substack writers focused on 1st amendment to write about it
