True for ETH; not necessarily for faster chains.

The future of Dexes lies solely in Layer2.
Layer1 Dexes are either too uneconomical or too centralized.

Eventually a L1 will saturate. Only way to increase throughput is to use L2 solutions. Even if you have a L1 chain that can do 10M txs second, it will just delay the moment it will saturate and you'll have to move to L2.

Why it happens? If L1 is fast and cheap people will think they can use it for anything: storage, gambling, sending money, selling horses and sheeps. Then you'll need anyway L2 solutions to break bottlenecks. It's just a function of time and success

True, but I also think that there's a huge difference between 10m and 7. If you can get to 10m then you can get a TON more infrastructure up which is fast,

Indeed there is a huge difference.
My point is just that if a L1 is super-successful eventually will saturate so I would be preemptive building a L2.
Scalability porn 😊

Oh yeah totally agree with that :)
Similarly I think sharding can be super cool but that it's way worse than not sharding controlling for tps, so you want to take the fastest things and shard those.
