Total BS. I'm a blockchain developer and I worked on a project worth half a billion $ and we made far bigger changes than that in less than 2 years... With a far smaller team... Without even a single 'rock star developer'. Either Ethereum devs are the dimmest minds in the industry or there is something seriously wrong at the foundational level of the Ethereum code itself.

Of course it's easier to change stuff when the scale is smaller. The difficulty of implementing something scales with the number of people working on it. If you're just one person (or a small team), changes are easy to work through. But if you're 100+ developers, multiple foundations and also private companies, even changes that are small will take a long time to go through the process. > Either Ethereum devs are the dimmest minds in the industry or there is something seriously wrong at the foundational level of the Ethereum code itself. Taking long time to change the core protocol is by design (it's a feature, not a bug), so everything is working correctly.

In that case, I hope it takes over 100 years to implement sharding, then at least the suckers who invested in Ethereum will rest in peace knowing that at least it met their decentralization needs after some other project has taken over the world.

    Again you seem to not fully understand how things work, and you also seem to wanting to read my comments in the worst possible light. I never said it's designed to take as long time as possible to get out changes, I said it's designed to take long time. But hey, you've already made up your mind so there seems to be little to no value of us even talking with each other.
