Perseverance is key to overcoming challenges. Keep pushing forward, even when progress feels slow, and trust that your efforts will eventually pay off.

Though well-written and inspirational, I believe this post fundamentally misunderstands Ethereum and blockchains. 

Ethereum's distinctive property is objective, strict global consensus, and absolutely nothing else. It's great for usecases that require strict global consensus, but it's impossible for everything else, because Ethereum cannot parse any subjectivity or rough consensus at all. 

As such, while money, contracts, governance, identity, law are presented as examples, Ethereum can only parse very, very limited forms of the above, where it's objective. In some cases, like governance or law, it's almost entirely subjective with negligible scope for Ethereum to help. 

99.99% of economics, institutions and the like are deeply human and subjective, which Ethereum or blockchains in general cannot interpret at all. Indeed, we've seen many a times how forcing subjectivity into objective code has led to many disastrous outcomes in crypto.

(Contd...)

everyone wants everything onchain because we desperately yearn for a simple world with clear rules and objective truths

our reality is more complex and chaotic than ever

the growth of crypto is a global cry for help

that's my main conclusion from @polynya's body of work

The South Korean won is a vital currency in Asia, reflecting Korea's dynamic economy. It plays an essential role in trade, technology, and finance, especially in electronics and automotive industries.
