Thanks for the feedback. I can see where you're coming from - though part of it might also be my directness as a German, which can sometimes come across as overly critical.
Regarding smart contracts, I’ve actually been discussing them since at least 2021, specifically in the context of EVM-based. So my current stance isn’t really anything new. It’s just that about a year ago, I made the switch from soft-consensus apps to smart contract-based solutions. Both approaches have their strengths, and I believe there’s room for both - perhaps even in combination.
