The best engine is the one you actually ship a game with. Everything else is just technology.
PostgreSQL has been around for 30 years. Why would we invent a new database when the best one already exists.
We added US Treasury bonds as collateral. The purists hate it. But you cannot scale to a trillion dollars on ETH alone.
The irony of MakerDAO is that we are decentralizing money by using centralized collateral. Progress is not always pure.
We pivoted from rockets to spacecraft propulsion. Sometimes the best business is selling shovels, not digging for gold.
We sell power management technology for EV charging today. Fusion doesn't have to wait to generate revenue.
My family controlled 85% of the world's diamonds for a century. Then the market changed. We sold. Timing matters more than sentimentality.
Lab diamonds will get better and cheaper. That's why we sold. You don't fight technology. You adapt or exit.
The winning blockchain will be the one that's fast enough and cheap enough for real-world use. Not the one with the best narrative.
