well not sure what this proves, but I guess you can bet against the ethereum developers delivering. I'm personally not making that bet, but if you want to do so, that's your view of the world lol.
I know core devs and hodl, just saying they continuously fail to deliver and that there is doubt that a solution is actually possible. Things get far more complex and the exploits quite interesting
that's fair, and you actually have an informed view on this matter.
The solution you have come to is a fair one (which is that truly developing a decentralized infrastructure that is reasonably priced to run apps on has too many challenges to succeed, at least the current solution that ethereum is providing).
I have hope that these problems can be surmounted by the ethereum development team. There are lots of challenges, and that is why everyone says we are at the beginning stages.
I think it's worth a shot, and if it succeeds I do believe we'd live in a better society.
If a blockchain is to succeed, it will likely be something other than ETH. The fees for ops is far more complicated than renting VM time from a hyper cloud and performance is terrible. The DX is worse than the UX, the issues they need to overcome are human problems, not technology ones
Im particularly fond of Hyperledger Fabric, though it is quite antithetical to the crypto narrative.
