Tradeoffs are inevitable in nature. They're all around us. They are the reason for adaptability and evolution.

I find it cringy that big-blockers think everything can be accomplished at the base-layer with zero tradeoffs. Many of the tradeoffs they make, they seem unaware of.... and they won't be made aware until maybe years down the road with stress testing and large-scale attacks.

That's why it's so important to work in layers.... ensuring the base layer does one thing really super duper well, better than others. That matters more than anything.

Then, we can start working our way up, making some tradeoffs in order to gain something, knowing that we will lose some things, but always have the base layer to fall back on.
