I like this article… a lot. You continue to effuse excitement of optimism about crypto, which I share.

I do agree with other comments, that if you are going to say “Radix is awesome” then some paert of the article should really be about why the current incarnation of Radix is so good. Buyt more importantly, why its so good in the face of lots of other crypto projects with other feature sets.

For example, while TPS isn’t everything, lots of cryptos claim way higher TPS than the Radix benchmark. Universa has demonstrated 20K TPS. Holochain, Hashgraph, even EOS makes claims of speeds even higher. None of them actually use these capabilities, yet. If any blockchain got to 100 TPS of non speculative transactions crypto would be in an aweesome state.

I think the comment that blockchain is an iteration is an awesome observation. However there should be recognition that unlike a steam engine, there are applications for an immutable ledger that may never get obviated (I apologize in advance for the self promotion, but it’s what is on my mind right now).

Anyway, I continue to enjoy your writing
