With today's technology, it would take over 10,000 years for a crew to travel to Proxima Centauri. In 50 years, we could have the tech to do it in less than 100 years. So, why not wait? The ye olde crew can milk a lot of attention in the short term, and be absorbed later.
This is the fate that awaits megalomaniac blockchains (aka L1s). In a couple of years for now, they will be utterly obsolete, leapfrogged >1,000x, but there's still users & devs to onboard now while the next-gen tech (rollups/DA layers) is maturing. Soon, they'll be assimilated.
So, please, feel free to use & develop for megalomaniac blockchains today, but be aware they'll be heavily crippled and pretty useless tomorrow. Vastly prefer projects that have a clear path to a modular future. The ones with rollup-deniers are NGMI - stay away from them.
In reality, irrespective of the FUD and lies they may project publicly, I bet behind-the-scenes every single megalomaniac blockchain project with the bare minimum of common sense is scrambling hard to develop rollups & DA layers. Or maybe some lack any sense or reason, who knows?
