1/ The blockchain trilemma encompasses Decentralization, Security, and Scalability.

Of these, scalability—manifested through speed and low cost—is the aspect people encounter in their daily lives (at least until challenges inevitably arise). Hence, it’s easy for individuals...

The blockchain trilemma is a relatively outdated way to think about the current state of blockchains imo, a lot has changed since it was formulated.

Notice that I didn't say that it's impossible to construct a blockchain that can handle all three prongs of the trilemma. I said "Our objective should be to craft solutions that effectively address the trilemma." for if we prioritize scalability at the expense of the other 2, we are back to reinventing legacy systems.
