There is no downside to posting unhinged price takes on here. I think anyone making price predictions should be willing to include a signed prediction market bet identifiable via hash.

Bitcoin $1M by 2025? Share the link proving you put $10K on that (and locked until that date).

If the goal is the fastest monolithic chain …

Incentivize diversity of code rolling up, above all.

L2 / Rollups or not

Having a diversity of talented OSS contributors working on modular components and those contributions “rolling up” to the chain is a good thing

Solana’s ledger archive history is massive (~225 TB) and growing rapidly.

Until recently, this data was stored on a centralized cloud provider.

I worked in big tech with 'nice, clean, structured and organized' communications.

All the communications go through the legal team. Then those go to the PR agency. Then that goes to the marketing team and to select journalists.

And you get a nice clean, polished communication…
