Oceans of Wisdom

b) in particular requires me to do things for it to become true

right now in crypto there are two things that: a) only I and a few thousand people in the world believe (NFTs are important important NFTs are the apex provenance assets, etc) b) only i believe (NFTs enable a whole new class of blockchains)

what I am saying is something more like this

but also i have no interest in 'retiring'

first of all, I won't be old enough

anyway someday we will get him o nboard

and he does not acknowledge their existence

they are one of the two things that worked on ethereum

he has no bigger blind spot than NFTs

i won't have the weight of "is this right or not?"

but the theory/ies will have played out

and i can work / participate for fun

nfts, 6529, the rest of my professional life, everything in place, everything sufficiently decentralized, everything integrated with the ASIs

i have told everyone from the beginning that 2030 was the target

that it continues fine without me

but there are enough people with enough skin in the game

and i have significant moral sway

like that you value my opinion

and ethereum

by 2030 i will be very happy if I think to myself it is like with vitalik now

if i leave today, some things probably continue to some degree but not as well but also we probably don't get a Go app :)

well there would be nothing

in 2021 if i had left

i think something like this is true for us too

but it will make it without him now

and a really great guy

because he is a giga brain

i hope he stays

it is post-vitalik

it is ok

there are enough stakeholders now

ethereum would continue to run and to develop

but also if he went away today

and the giga brain he has

and ethereum is more successful because he exists and has the moral leverage he has

he is still important to the future of ethereum

in 2014 if he quit

i think a good analogy here is vitalik

is every month that % drops a bit

and a good outcome

i think on day 1 we will still be doing the majority of the work

it is high risk

i agree with you that if we all peaced out on April 2 and said "hope you find artists"

nobody is leaving on april 1

is what we are doing already

so the worst case in terms of chasing artists etc

nah, it won't be

will the aggregate of TDH be malicious

sure

may any particular person try to pull a stunt?
