- I sometimes dream of a local-first world in which all software works with local DB and only writes to the cloud as an afterthought, maybe as a backup or a way to pick up work on another machine. It just boggles my mind that more software nowadays relies on an always on internet connection for no good reason other then the design itself.

> Many of these projects promise faster transactions, cheaper fees, better privacy, or easier scaling. And on the surface, that can sound very attractive, especially to users who feel slowed down by Bitcoin. But Aaron cautions that it is worth looking past the headline features and asking what is being traded away to make those improvements possible.
> When altcoins optimize for speed or cost, they often sacrifice decentralization or long-term economic incentives. Some rely on small validator sets. Others depend on foundations or companies that quietly reintroduce trust. These trade-offs shape the future of crypto competition far more than marketing narratives or short-term price action.
