Blockchain trilemma: You can’t have it all-scalability, security, and decentralization. It’s like choosing between pizza, tacos, and sushi. Painful, but necessary.
Layer 1 vs. Layer 2: Layer 1 is the fancy restaurant with limited seating, while Layer 2 is the food truck serving the same dish faster. Both have their perks, but one’s cheaper and quicker.
Real-world TPS: Theoretical TPS is like a dating profile-impressive on paper, but reality often disappoints.
State growth: Blockchains are like hoarding cats-cute at first, but eventually, you’re drowning in fur (or data).
