Kinda feel like Ethereum needs to pick a few smaller things to nail 100% before they go after, well, anything I want to rely on. The best marketing is the kind you can’t buy. Ethereum has run out of goodwill, they need results to be believable.

It' not just that. It's that anybody with a modicum of technological knowledge knows how preposterously wrong that statement is. Ethereum investors have to be the utter dregs of technoligical ignorance to fall for this kind of thing.

They don't need to fall for it, they just need to think that other people will fall for it. It's a Keynesian beauty contest.

For my part I find influential ignorance to be quite ugly.

The technologies of the internet and of blockchains are radically different and serve radically different purposes. Lubin is appealing to the most appalling ignorance people tend to have when it comes to technology.

Fees and time of transaction will always be a barrier to crypto. Now bitcoin is like gold. Rare, valuable and hard to buy something with.
