ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

This catches us right back up.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

So it catches us back to the trend line.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

So this would be a 3x, sorry, excuse me, a 7x in transactions per second and block space availability on the L1 in 12 months.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

Which is pretty astounding because we went to, you remember this, we went to 30 million.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

We were at 30 million for like four years.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

And then just last year, we went from 30 to 45 to 60.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

And now we go from 60 to 200.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

And that results in something close to 80 to 100 transactions per second.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

So...

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

L1 is actually scaling, like they're actually doing it.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

I think this means that we're not going to see any L1 fees anytime soon.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

You only get fees on a blockchain if there's block space contention, if demand exceeds supply.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

And if you are creating more supply...

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

and supply exceeds demand, you don't get fees.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

And so, you know, like, if your bull case on Ether is just about fees, then you also have to not care about scaling, right?

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

Anyway, this is why for decentralized blockchains, my thesis on like how they accrue value is all about store of value.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

It's all about money.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

Bitcoin's always been right.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

Ether is a store of value.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto’s Nasdaq Problem | The CLARITY Act | Saylor Selling? | ETH L1 Scaling

My opinion is always right.
