I would challenge the premise: English is "the BTC of languages" in some ways (mainly: network effect), but not others.

I think the best candidate for "the BTC of languages" in spirit and design philosophy is toki pona.

A vocabulary so small it can fit onto a single poster.

And yet, it's very difficult to use it to actually express non-trivial things.

good question :D

I think 2010s ETH would be more like lojban, focus on a very rich grammar to allow for all kinds of complicated expressions

2020s ETH uses L2s to extend functionality; to me the L2s of language are loanwords. I don't know of any lang that does loanwords *great*

Віталік, а ETH тоді яка мова?)

Cardano could be Esperanto. Academics trying to make something for everyone, but in the end no one uses it.

Toki Pona

kama lon kulupu pi toki pona mi! /toki-pona

Also, English is evolving much faster than BTC.

Ok but can we agree that ETH is the Latin of languages as most current languages are built on top of it (L2)

English is the Ethereum of languages. More expressive 😆

Toki Pona might be the “Bitcoin of languages” for its simplicity and minimalist philosophy, but it lacks the global network effect that English has.

More importantly, which language is cardano

Layer 1 would be Latin, and all the other Layers would be its derivative then lol.

Hey vitalik you sure need a tip, 100 $degen
