I agree. I've been holding BTC for a couple of years as I feel that international accessibility coupled with scarcity makes for a great store of value. But DeFi I still fail to wrap my head around.

My main concern being: DeFi could get harsh competition from traditional financial actors by them getting up to date on accessibility. Thus appealing to a new, more decentralized userbase.

IMO this is the single most relevant issue with static generators. Hopefully it will be adressed soon.

"The Politics of Bitcoin: Software as Right-Wing Extremism"... just wow. Is it crazy to consider that crypto companies might simply provide better tools than a lot of banks, therefore driving worldwide adoption?

I can relate to that, I feel like most computer stuff is a hamster wheel for smart peeps.

As GP's declarations are backed by air, we can speculate they are self-reported statements by people working on non-business-centric applications.

edit: GP giving more downvotes than proofs

I'm pretty sure the advantage of serverless is that you can use microservices for your MVPs. The gains for a one-man team might not be ovious, but I like to believe that once a project needs scaling it is not as painful as tearing down the monolith.

I might be missing something, but when I am browsing dApps catalogues, I fail to see anything revolutionary. Would love to hear from someone knowledgeable.

I think these are two different languages for two different jobs.

I can see javascript slowly expanding from the front-end into the back-end, mostly thanks to projects like TypeScript that appeal to the back-end crowds, but also because of the whole serverless hype which IMO is justified.

Now there still is a strong "cultural divide" between the software and the data-science communities. And when you see how strong the innertia for python's projects is.. Well I guess we won't see this changing anytime soon.
