It’s true that these limitations are known to the in-crowd, and also to everyone with some CS knowledge that bothered to understand a bit about the technical details. But pro-crypto articles/posts/tweets usually fail to mention any of that, or hand-wave it away with an incorrect reference to Moore’s law. “World computer” is a specific phrase I’ve seen many times referencing Ethereum, and I personally find comparisons with the Raspberry Pi a very effective way to contextualize that. As a consequence of all the selective information going around, some people are drawn into crypto that don’t really understand the limits of the technology’s capabilities. It’s important for the protection of those people to explain, in detail but in plain English, the gap between hype and reality.
