I explain how an anonymous user hijacked Polkadot bounties after curators forgot basic renewals, and why OpenGov's ability to fix these situations shouldn't excuse incompetence. Link: https://x.com/gbaciX/status/1931233789339926554

Why most blockchains will fail in the long run—and how to spot the survivors

I use Kevin Kelly's 9 laws of God to analyze which of the popular blockchains are most resilient. Comparison chart for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Binance Chain, and Polkadot Link: https://x.com/gbaciX/status/1925179374120136885
