Do quote everything, while you're at it. > The first production of automobiles was by Karl Benz in 1888 in Germany and, under license from Benz, in France by Emile Roger. There were numerous others, including tricycle builders Rudolf Egg, Edward Butler, and Léon Bollée. Bollée, using a 650 cc (40 cu in) engine of his own design, enabled his driver, Jamin, to average 45 kilometres per hour (28 mph) in the 1897 Paris-Tourville rally. By 1900, mass production of automobiles had begun in France and the United States. So, 11 years after production started, gas-powered cars were not only rather common, but there were <i>rallies involving them</i>. 11 years from introduction, no one has come up with a use-case for blockchain: https://hackernoon.com/ten-years-in-nobody-has-come-up-with-a-use-case-for-blockchain-ee98c180100 and https://medium.com/@kaistinchcombe/decentralized-and-trustless-crypto-paradise-is-actually-a-medieval-hellhole-c1ca122efdec.

Curve

Please see some of these sites I shared earlier: https://curve.fi/ - for exchanging different tokenized stable coins (such as USDC > EURO). Already has over $300M in daily volume exchange. https://yearn.finance/ - a platform where anyone can code and deploy an investment strategy, provided it is voted on by people who hold the platform's governance tokens. Already has over $3B in assets locked in. Good idea to look at their governance platform as well: https://snapshot.org/#/yearn https://aave.com/ - a platform to borrow or lend your tokenized assets. Already has over $9B in assets invested Please see this with an open mind. And please see this from the perspective of someone not from privilege, from a third world country, or from someone facing an oppressive regime. Money is freedom. And making that freely accessible to anyone from anywhere is important.

Bitcoin Knots

> you need to make a consumer-friendly distribution of the node software https://bitcoinknots.org It's a distribution of Bitcoin Core. AFAIK Bitcoin Core also has a convenient GUI interface. I set up a node on my computer. I didn't touch the command-line once. It has a nice GUI and built-in wallet.

State expiry/rent is being worked on in Ethereum, and would totally solve the problem of indefinite state size growth, courtesy again of the hard-working Buterin: https://hackmd.io/@vbuterin/state_expiry_paths.
