LLMs are basically glorified CBT machines, but they don’t have the Rogerian presence and therapeutic alliance that good therapists are able to provide, and are more important than the modalities that are used in sessions.
He doesn’t write anything like Satoshi.
A lot of activity moved to L2s, making L1 gas cheaper, and so simple ETH and token sends are cheaper. L2s will continue to get cheaper, with the next hard fork around November and L1 gas should be even cheaper with the hard fork after the next.
Ethereum had a surgical state change on a smart contract via hard fork that implemented that change, so it had 0 effect on other blocks.
Stablecoins are way better, albeit on more decentralized chains like Ethereum.
Most of these L1s will likely end up becoming L2s in the near future, especially if they can rake in revenue via sequencers
Gas fees on Ethereum L2s like Base cost $0.0016 to send USDC, and $0.00064 to send ETH.
Itch could update the prices pegged to BTC or ETH, yes, but they'd either want to keep them, or liquidate them to USD, in which case there is risk of fluctuation between when the token is sent, and when it's liquidated.
Bitcoin has ASIC monopoly and conflicts of interest with core devs connected to companies dipping into mining.
Solana and other chains are VC fueled crap though, I agree.
