5) Yes, it hasn't processed as many as it could have. But it's still doing a ton. Which is to say: there's more work to do. There's always more work to do. And the most important thing is doing that work. Building.

6) But also, let's not lose sight of the bigger picture. Only by being ambitious can we make progress. And sometimes that means failing to hit our goals, but we still often end up further than if we'd never tried. And there's always tomorrow.

Just found this new chain AWS. It can handle 10K times the TPS of SOL. Seems expensive at $2890 per coin, but the technology seems legit!

People got liquidated cause they could not increase their collateral. Reducing this to 'it did more transactions than others' does not capture the full picture of what happened.
