Ethereum

it’s 2025

fuck users that run nodes locally for personal use 

and royally fuck those amongst us that are holding the whole fucking ecosystem back in order to cater to the autistic fucktards that run nodes locally

Presses the button - there's a Vitalik blog for that. Please spend 2 mins and read that first section of that post

The core value of a blockchain is that users collectively enforce the rules. They are the final line of defense against collusion and capture

Without that you’re not decentralized. You’re just a worse version of a server

/ethereum foundation | opinions are my own but more than likely they come from Vitalik's blog paragraph.xyz/@chaskin

WWIII resistant chain is useless if people can't use it pre-WWIII

come down from your ivory tower and realize where you've taken us with your extreme ideals

drop the whole 'just use AWS' strawman and the fallacious appeal to extreme bullshit

if you are refusing to admit there's a whole fucking field of useful stuff between your **any collusion** ideals and AWS then you are either being bad faith or in the better case, are actually detached from what the devs and the users want

It’s not about being WWIII resistant. It’s about being resistant to **literally any collusion** that’s the whole point of a blockchain

“The elites of your blockchain community, including pools, block explorers and hosted nodes, are probably quite well-coordinated… If they really want to organize a sudden change to the protocol rules to further their own interests, then they probably can”

If users can’t enforce the rules might as well just use AWS, instant blocktimes and cheap fees

you can do a transaction sure
but you can't run a consumer grade app on it
not a single one
for the sake of the argument
