I just started reading this yellow paper and could not go beyond page 1. I just cannot figure out anything. What is it trying to say? Does it describe the EVM? Am I too much of as noob in CS or is the paper legitimately hard ? Here's the link to the paper. Please comment on your thoughts https://github.com/ethereum/yellowpaper #blockchain #crypto #ethereum

Are we in recession ?
it’s basically gas that’s used to move around rando tokens. anyone can make a token 🙊🙊
The guy that wrote it has a PhD in music or someshit and no other scientific credentials, no wonder Ethereum ended up a mess. But the paper is on the easy side. Try reading any math paper. You'll get lost in the first sentence
And it is still the most used blockchain. And nothing comes close to it.
Used as in hyped, yes. Used as in transactions per second, no
I feel like this is not a good read, I work in the space and just read it for 30 minutes but the info is either too dense or not useful since you will pick it up via osmosis on twitter or discord anyway. I'd rather read something more fun, like this on MEV: https://medium.com/dragonfly-research/dr-reorg-or-how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-mev-2ee72b428d1d or this list on solidity https://secureum.substack.com/p/solidity-101
Skip straight to Solana. Rust/Sealevel runtime is better to work with
If you’re ok with centralization and protocol owned by VCs, sure.
Not a maximalist. I hold both ETH and SOL. I’m bullish wherever there’s growing developer activity.
Start with the Whitepaper
Ya went through the white paper, it is definitely more readable. It gives the overall picture of what is possible. I want to understand EVM more
