dbh.ethNetflix & Chill
If you’re into the stock market or day trading like the countless others recovering from years trapped inside with no outlet for entertainment, then you’re more than likely aware about the recent news surrounding Netflix and their stock price plummeting. If you’re like me, dealing with both the stocks and the crypto markets, then you’re probably less shocked by an over-30% drop in a single day. (In fact, you may likely shrug your shoulders and say, “Only 30? sounds like Tuesday!”) Regardless,...
dbh.ethWoulda Coulda Shoulda
We all know those people. The ones who balked at your advice, in spite of your urgent pleading and maybe in some cases actual begging. Of course these people mean well, the cautious personality type is incredibly important in balancing our world. But I’m not referring to the self-aware overly cautious individual. (No, this person well knows they have deep troubles with change and decision-making and have come to terms with the consequences for following their instincts.) These self-aware peop...
dbh.ethLegacy
Here’s a quick thought for you. Well, first a quick task followed by a quick thought. Okay, first, select your favorite search engine and search the word: Legacy. Now, if the majority of your results are related to the financial assets you leave behind then you are not alone. But this is a deeply flawed and misinformed definition of legacy. Your legacy, although affected by your assets (possessions) do not define in totum your legacy. I find the following definition a bit more all-inclusive a...

I’m most certainly giving away both my age as well as at least a small insight into my former television watching self when I write the following sentence. Not a single time goes by that I don’t hear the expression “weakest link” and immediately, instantly, and without fail I am transported to a game show with a bitingly, sharp British host. Her pinched features mixed with her intensely superior disdain for the contestants rings loudly in my ears, “You ARE the weakest link, Goodbye.” Her utter disgust for the snivelingly stupid contestant now removed from her game hangs in the air long after the scorned participant has left the stage.
Today this scene was ringing in my head as I browsed Twitter, due to the following graphic catching my eye as I scrolled down the page.
Today, Infura was proclaimed the weakest link. Now, while the immediate result is a disruption to service for many users, the deeper and far more concerning issue is of course the realization of just how true the graphic actually might be.
Now, you may read this thought and see a problem, or you may be struck with the deep and lasting conviction there’s a solution here waiting to be unleashed. Whatever your personal response; speak up about it. Draw attention to the problem or start formulating a solution. Bottlenecks like this should not exist in a decentralized future and we will all be better served to be thoughtful about how we build a decentralized infrastructure.
