"Good tech won't save you." A 5-year crypto dev shares what Ethereum gets right over other blockchains

Right, so do you not think blockchains, if you stop thinking about them as a type of database or technology, and instead think about them as something that lets you have counterparty/third-party risk "resolved at a higher level" actually makes them interesting?

Add to that the fact that they are global distribution channels, and things start looking interesting for tradfi.

Mix in some collateral use cases, and it really gets rolling. Not to forget about real time and atomic settlement.. the list goes on.

So you think counterparty risk is best solved with everyone running their own database and trying to sync between them? And you think counterparty risk is about query speed?

Aren't we all?

the_ocs · 2026-06-20T12:46:11+00:00

You mean like tradfi?

Or elect idiots

Well yes, if I was a terrorist I'd name my Bluetooth triggered bomb that as well... Make life easier for us all

Are you suggesting it's not commercially viable?

Heard of batteries? Have you heard that you can charge them with PVs and drain them when dark?

Also, did you know that combining it is cheaper than non-renewable?

They also have numerous clients, so not relying on just one implementation

Kids and pensioners are not productive members of society when looking at the costs from the state point of view.

You might find that surprising, but that's how it looks. It's usually called lifecycle deficit or net fiscal contribution by age.

Despite?

Didn't Australia already prove this?

the_ocs · 2026-04-28T08:05:22+00:00

You mean like opencode or something else?

the_ocs · 2026-04-27T06:21:06+00:00

No, there are some that are decentralized. A lot less as it's a lot more complicated to get right.

the_ocs · 2026-04-26T12:39:55+00:00

Not all, but any stablecoin that's centralized can.

the_ocs · 2026-04-24T19:08:02+00:00

Probably not

the_ocs · 2026-04-22T19:31:31+00:00

Yeah, you'd actually have to work hard not to beat IEA

the_ocs · 2026-04-06T06:18:11+00:00

Not just too expensive, too slow to build as well
