I'm an everyday user. One of my major uses is to send stablecoins to family back in latin america, and ETH/BTC. They can get it and use right away within seconds and paid almost no fee compared to traditional means

Hey! I'm one of the developers working on Arbitrum's next iteration of optimistic proofs. It's a really fun problem of many parties resolving disputes about a deterministic state. Happy to answer any questions

I see the point here, but I don't know the backstories of the vast majority of artists I listen to. In most of the cases, I just really enjoy the music. For instance, I found a playlist of R&B jams on Apple music the other day, and

Except that if I heard this on the radio or in my music streaming recommendations I’d think it’s a banger and would be jamming to it all day. A song I heard from the site earlier blew my mind and my friends were asking me who the artist was

Software eng. It's been amazing to have my terminal, IDE , github in Safari on one side, apple music in the back, news tickers above the screen, and being able to resize, bring them anywhere with me

I found the killer app for me with AVP: working. I have my screens in front of me while I'm in front a roller-standing desk with really nice passthrough being able to see my garden outside. Everything looks crisp and the music quality

I'm the opposite - so how would you account for that?

There are so many examples. Some of the most popular web3 applications have only gained more momentum over the last few years, and have growing user bases. Examples are: Uniswap, Compound Finance, Maker DAO, Aave, Curve Finance, Tornado Cas

This comment assumes that the world == the developed world. Crypto offers borderless access that does not exist in today's world for many millions of people. In my country, getting a loan is near impossible, but no one can stop people

One could, for example, create a smart contract that has protection mechanisms in place. At the end of the day, smart contracts are programmable, so you could code your own which has appeal mechanisms as consumers are used to. For example,

Sorry it took me ages to clarify this. It's actually a pretty cool mechanism! What I mean by "tracking the head of the chain with certainty" means that you don't have any trust assumptions on the head block. If you track

This is $10 for sending a transaction in the base Ethereum blockchain. Imagine you're sending millions, can do so quickly, only for $10, and without needing permission or paperwork from any bank? Also, most normal transactions should h

I think the bigger point is that when computers were first introduced, there was a lot of similar pushback to what we see today. The answer is that they don't _directly_ solve a pressing problem, but are a canvas for others to come and

An incredibly rich ecosystem. I would recommend checking projects such as Uniswap, Aave, Sushiswap, Compound finance, Maker DAO, Yearn finance, Balancer, Synthetix, Alchemix, etc. There are over 52 billion dollars worth of capital being use

There are staking pools that allow you to stake with less than 32 ETH and pool those together to participate. We understand the requirement of 32 is high but that doesn't mean it is impossible to participate in staking with less. Rocke

Definitely positive. The changes coming in Eth2 will both improve the security and the scalability of Ethereum. There isn't really any pushback towards this in the community aside from a select group of miners

I want to add more clarity on where Ethereum currently stands. I am one of the devs that worked on proof of stake and the future of the Ethereum protocol, bundled into an umbrella term called "Ethereum 2.0". Eth2 is a monumental r
