huge +1 from me on this point (@kylesamani)

We know what the most important traits are

Gas cost
Total throughput
Latency/TTF

Everything else is 10x less important

Gas cost is *everything*

99.99% of potential on chain activity isn’t even consider a chain yet

Is the revealed preference that gas cost is most important?

Seems like people will pay (seemingly) unreasonable amounts for access to liquidity, settlement assurances, security, etc of their preferred chain
