Ethereum’s Big Announcement: Solving the Trilemma (Or Maybe Just a Glitch)

Vitalik announced that zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machines have reached “production-quality performance” – a term that, in the blockchain world, probably means “we’ve stopped crashing for now.” PeerDAS data-availability sampling is “live on mainnet,” which, if you’re not paying attention, sounds like a new streaming service for cat videos. 🐱🚀 He contrasted this with earlier peer-to-peer models like Bittorrent’s bandwidth-heavy, consensus-free design and Bitcoin’s consensus-only, low-bandwidth replication. Because nothing says “innovation” like comparing yourself to a 90s file-sharing protocol and a cryptocurrency that’s basically a digital gold rush. 🏴‍☠️

Which is just another way of saying ‘things likely to go down in value’. But hey, who needs logic when you have hype?
