Ethereum from even more perspectives
summary
Contains concrete claims: Ethereum expands the space of credible commitments, making anonymous issuance and on-chain guarantees practical and enabling zero-knowledge proofs to be used more widely; contrasts Bitcoin’s narrow immutability with Ethereum’s flexible trade-offs; highlights flash loans’ atomicity as a capability only on-chain atomicity reliably delivers; cites ERC-20/ERC-721 standards as underrated infrastructure; treats Solidity constraints more like bash scripts and blockchain development as closer to hardware engineering; references ETHLondonUK hackathon Feb 28–Mar 1, 2020.
