Stripe to start taking crypto payments starting with USDC stablecoin

IMO, the old generation of crypto people will go to their grave mad that anything other than ethereum sees success.

There are valid complaints about Solana, but the ones that get trotted out in online discourse are repeated until they become reality for the horse beater. Unfortunately for them, their reality is disconnected from actual reality.

I consider myself old generation, but definitely don't have this perspective. I wonder if Ethereum is the AOL of crypto.

But it does go down very often and requires "engineers" to bring it up. That's not a decentralized Blockchain at all. Why pretend it to be?

All software has bugs. This is same as claiming ETH will always get hacked because of the DAO hack.

As far as I can tell there is no fundamental design flaws in Solana that makes it so that it will always go down. There are bugs in the networking stack that are being fixed.

An no, "engineers" don't bring it up. I run a validator and only i'm incentivized to restart it back up because of my stake.

Eth or Bitcoin have never been down. If this software is especially bad then ..
