>Ethereum is providing a base layer protocol for apps that never go down, never fail, and are fully trusted. Are you suggesting that Ethereum apps can have 100% uptime (never go down, never fail), and are completely secure (fully trusted)? Because if so I've got some shares of a bridge to sell you.

I don't even understand the benefit of 100.00% uptime, over 99.99% anyway? I mean, I probably spend more time in a parking garage with no internet available to me at all, than google spends being down in any given month. I mean, I understand the idea that Google wants to increase their uptime because every lost query is lost revenue, but OP seemed to imply there's some intrinsic benefit that's more than just the incremental benefit...

  Regardless of the marginal benefits of 100% uptime vs 99.99...the entire point of ETH is that once the contract is posted to the block chain, it continues to operate in perpetuity...and no centralized service provider or government can take it down. That's powerful, and in our age of creeping power consolidation by big tech cos and overreaching governments, I applaud the development of censorship-resistant tech.

What's the vesting schedule of these shares?

I'm not saying I agree, but I'd be interested in hearing your argument

  You can trust it in the sense that the network will execute the code you run on it, for the most part, but most of the contract code out there is full of bugs and they keep forking the chain when people fuck up if they know the right people.

  You really need me to argue that achieving 100% uptime and trust (not 99.99%! 100% was the claim) just by virtue of building on top of Ethereum is implausible?

    Yes, explain yourself please.

    As long as there is one node on the network that you have a route over the internet to, the network is up. This is why bitcoin has also never gone down thus far.

Immutable webapps + blockchain backend = immortal applications. It's great for evergreen software. Imagine a backpage that can't be shut down, for instance.
