Vitalik is a mouthy 24 year old who should focus on mismanaging his centralized shitcoin.

There's some sour grapes at work here. Vitalik always pushed for the idea that ETH would take over the crypto space, the "Flippening" whether explicitly endorsed or not, money skeletor didn't say much to the contrary concerning it in 2017 - when spirits were high and their trend was up.

That was before a few Dapps like cryptokitties completely paralyzed their non-scalling shit-token.

Now, its all about "Casper" and other buzzword-laden schemes to make ETH scale. Except it won't, because its primary premise relies on Proof-of-(mis)Stake -- which requires trust from nodes -- which further requires you bolt on more elaborate checks and schemes to stop people from gaming the system into the ground. Those won't work, either.

The "code bomb" that ETH had in its codebase was a way to force the developers hand. If they didn't come up with a scaling solution by a given blockheight, then the ETH blockchain would stop dead in its tracks. Guess what? They're so sure of their potential solutions to this that they kicked the can down the road for another 12+ months. Just like insolvent governments issuing more debt, Vitalik and company can't be held to account on their original promise, so don't worry guys, 17 people you didn't elect or vote for decided for you.

Viva La Shitcoin!

I've followed most of the publications regarding their "sharding" proposal, how they think they can trade the computational time and energy used in Proof-of-Work for some chimera hybrid with Proof-of-(mis)Stake -- or even more laughably, use PoS completely -- but EVERY article and paper presented shows the increasingly complex and intricate backstops and schemes needed to keep it going. It isn't just me, others have noticed too. The coding boy-wonder is running out of tricks to make this shitshow work.

Also, consider the impact of a figurehead of a shit-token pronouncing that "its all over" and seeing an instant dive in their price.

Being the de facto leader of a coin is bad enough, but when you couple it with his immaturity and inexperience with the world -- you have a combination of idealistic optimism running amok on the flat plains of assumptions, not reality.

There's a speed bump up ahead called "scaling" and Vitalik is going to plunge right into it with his dropped-to-milimeters race car running on unicorn farts.

The resulting impact should be highly instructive.
