Could my ISP be throttling me? I am supposed to be getting 1 GIG but see 90 download and 93 upload.
Oh... shit...! *Guys, he's got us* THE GIG IS UP! SOUNDS THE ALARMS
Exactly. Just like the early internet days, purists scoffed at the massive adoption from people using AOL and CompuServe to access the internet. Yet those companies with greater resources, slicker marketing, and dumbed down interfaces exploded. Mass adoption meant sacrificing a lot of what the internet *could've* been. Crypto will likely be the same. Some version of Apple COR or Google GIG will take off, leaving purists to point out all the ways that this new highly usable "crypto" isn't actually crypto at all, that it lacks the original core principles. But the new emboldened masses will laugh you away, and all those high ideals of crypto being an economic equalizer, an anonymous institution-free financial space of the people, will probably only be spoken about in future college classes studying the "history of crypto".
I heard from a reliable source the CGRT coin will moon today at 4:17 EDT. Or it may have been GIG coin?
No one is saying that ETH is not trying to evolve and yes that is how tech sector works but you cant compete with 1 GIG EThernet connection by improving dial up systems. There is obvious limitations. ETH by design has those obvious limitation that is why the companies you mentioned like Solana, Polkadot and ADA in my opinion will equal and eventually surpass ETH. Current demand in crypto is based on the sector growth not ETH growth. That previous growth resulted in large adoption of first to the market like ETH, but now those projects see the limitations and are walking away. Those limitation will not end with ETH 2.0. They will always be there and with new tech emerging ETH will be stack in the never ending catch up cycle that will slow its progress down and cause bigger exodus of projects to other platforms. You are dissing desperate countries like Ethiopia which is hilarious. IF they were so desperate why it took 4 years of some of the hardest negotiations Charles has ever done to get it off the ground and if ADA is such a purely developed project then why didn't ETH or others sign up the 5 million user deal if it was in such desperate supply. The growth potential in underdeveloped counties that are on the edge of accepting modernization is SO MUCH larger then North American or European market with regulations and laws that pretty much guarantee the success of already existing monopolies for years to come. Canada is a perfect example. Companies are trying to set up shop in here, specially for crypto defi and the monopoly of top 5 banks and the government protection is making business impossible for any new comers. The very focus on Africa, South America and east Asia is what will make Cardano a giants in the future. IF you are such a believer in first to the market success then Cardanos first to Africa should only improve your view of ADA and not make it a disadvantage. That is as much of a contradiction as you can have. Without smart contract crypto is useless? Well BTC maximalist would scratch your eyes out for that statement. Ada innovation and development was delayed because you are talking about getting theoretical only 3rd gen crypto tech to actual working platform. You can set all the deadlines you want but they are nothing else but goals to put in specific amount of work towards something special with hopes of getting it done. There is no way of actually guaranteeing that it will be done by certain day. If you cant understand that concept and you use it against it then I cant help you. Hell you should have great understanding of that concept since ETH has been promising 2.0 and changing its deadline on numerous occasions. ADA tech its not like taking some existing computer language and proven blockchain tech and adding to its functionality that many agree is possible and calling it 3rd gen. They build it from scratch, brand new with over 100 new white papers published and many peered reviewed. Comparing that to the development of others is ridiculous. If ADA is so useless without smart contracts, then why does it already has working supply chain tracking project in partnership with Scantrust when others are still working on theirs. Why can I already issue my own tokens on Cardano platform. Why has it been in top 10 market cap pretty much for all of its development if its only empty promises. What do you call the Atala Prism build on Cardano Platform that will be used for the identity tracking and payments system in Africa if not amazing accomplishment. There is so much enthusiasm about Cardano that people name wines after it. The developers are lining up and many of them will be part of the test net by the end of this week, with a level of excitement which is definitely lacking in ETH corners at the moment and for a good reason. I don't care if you believe in it or not, so I guess we will end it there. Only time will show all the work that went into ADA development and its future prove fundamentals. Investing in crypto means picking project ideas and having faith in the leadership to get things done. If you chose to invest only at the time of projects full function then you are too late or don't have a lot of choices to invest in.
