⚡💬 NEW - Vitalik Buterin says the vision of a decentralized web is ready to be built. In a long, detailed post, the Ethereum co-founder summarized the original plan: Ethereum as a global computer for settlements, Waku for messaging, and systems such as IPFS and Fileverse for storage. He highlighted key advances such as PoS, ZK-EVMs, PeerDAS on the mainnet, and layer 2 rollups that reduce fees and increase speed. image

Why build on PoS when PoW chains like Kaspa already work well for these cases? Try Kasia Messaging and Kaspeak for communication, K-Social as social network etc. It even has a P2P file storage. All these interactions are directly written into the L1 BlockDAG. Furthermore, L2s can serve as an additional layer providing everything else without sacrificing decentralization.
Building file storage/services on top of Bitcoin is essentially turning it into the same thing. Ethereum was PoW and still had all the problems that come from trying to make a decentralized blockchain do everything. The reason companies stopped talking about building their own blockchains for everything isn't because it stopped being trendy. It's because it was always a stupid idea and they finally figured that out. The evolution of Ethereum is Solana, which is even more centralized and less reliable. The evolution of Solana will be even more centralized and unreliable. Eventually people will realize blockchains are just retarded databases. Bitcoin is a timechain. A decentralized ledger. Don't turn it into another retarded database.

Counterpoint. Most shit on social media is so retarded it doesn’t belong on a server let alone an immutable chain.

I agree with you when it comes to CP and similar content, but once a platform starts defining rules about when to censor someone, it inevitably becomes more and more centralized. Otherwise, you’d have to apply the same argument to Nostr as well, since at its core it’s uncensorable. Luckily, K-Social is text-based only, due to its limited block size.
