whether L2s suck up all the value of ETH
the challenge of providing a good user experience across multiple rollups
how the underlying technology of security is not improving but attackers are getting more sophisticated
whether centralized lending in the industry is dead
why crypto users still hold stablecoins that yield much lower than Treasury bills
the new approach to bringing real-world assets and tokenized yields to blockchains
