Damn, that was a long post
🤣 See... And for me, this is medium... but I said, let's split what I think I need to write into 3, otherwise people will struggle. So, thanks for that feedback.
I usually try to keep reading for 5 to 10 minutes max. But with pictures it sometimes gets longer due to eye scanning... so perhaps I need to keep 5 minutes max if there are lots of pictures.
There was a lot of new stuff coming in, and yes, the concerns about adoption and inflation are constant topics. I think the light accounts will be a very interesting thing to see how it goes. There are also some other extra things coming with the HF28...
Overall, it's also been acknowledged that keeping the "professional" quality of the chain is very important long term, as exchanges are usually "dumb" and don't necessarily fight for the security of the chain (so, keeping them happy by not doing too many changes or changes that affect them, is usually a good strategy to maintain that high level impression). Hence, why planning for HForks is a bigger deal the more businesses you have.
On the apps spaces and following up HAF things, we are finally moving into a "almost" 100% done phase, so after the HFork those things will start to get more widely used by everyone, I am thinking, and that, allied with a much better documentation a good opportunity for more businesses to come along and bring their own communities.
I am especially excited with what VSC is trying to achieve... as that will bring the userbase that does not care about our dapps first, and then once they find out about the rest of the ecosystem, my feeling is that some will get hooked at least. Hence why that "engine" mechanism of facilitating cross-chain interaction is very valuable.
Either way, this is almost a post DAMN! Sorry, and thanks for the words.
