Sounds pretty fucking amazing if this means more people can get to work

Making a high-throughput L1 to reduce gas cost is a bit like making a road wider to reduce traffic In reality, the wider road makes more people think ”oh I can take my car to work now instead of commuting!” => traffic re-clogs => it takes exactly as long to get to work as before twitter.com/KyleSamani/sta…

You're attacking a strawman He didn't say widening the road is bad He said widening the road is a futile solution because of induced demand will fill the road with congestion anyway The only solution is modular blockchains, with L2s settling on the safest consensus layer

Again, ser, you're getting the analogy wrong To a thriving city center, the best solution for traffic is to let different transport providers build various connecting routes. Dirt roads for donkeys, trains for freight, 12 lane high ways for cars, airports for planes..

The city authorities building one 12 lane highway and saying "okay, everybody use this, we have single handedly solved all transport needs" is, as you can imagine, futile and false You need to decentralise transport solutions, so different use cases can build to their own reqs
