regisg··on Vitalik Buterin Proposes New EIP to Tackle Ethereum’s Sky-High Gas Fees
What you're talking about is the concurrency "issue". It was a bad designed app.To code Smart Contract on Cardano you have to learn the "Cardano way" of building Smart Contracts. It's like multi-core systems : you have to learn how to take advantages of the several cores.

No time to waste, I'm learning Plutus. :-)
regisg··on Vitalik Buterin Proposes New EIP to Tackle Ethereum’s Sky-High Gas Fees
They didn't. The scaling path is well known : Optimizations, Input Endorsers, Hydra.
regisg··on Vitalik Buterin Proposes New EIP to Tackle Ethereum’s Sky-High Gas Fees
Wrong, try again. It's a lie.

On Ethereum, Solidity has access to the global state of the blockchain and it's very hard do create secure program with it. Cardano's language Plutus has only access to UTXOs ( bitcoin way to manage account) and store a local state in it. It's really functional programming applied to the blockchain space. The language is functional ( Haskell subset ) and the ledger too. One advantage of this design is that fees are deterministic. For a given transaction input you will have exactly the same fees.

Solidity is a minefield language... Plutus is way better

> They finally submitted and confirmed rollups were better

Again, it's a lie : Can you provide a link to an official statement made by IOHK about this ? No, of course : Input endorsers is the official path for scaling, it's not a surprise : they are part of the first 2016 Ouroboros paper. There are some experiments on Rollups because it can have use cases, but there are no official statement about using Rollups.

regisg··on Ethereum Isn't Fun Anymore
4 years of research & dev. All has come / is coming : - rich metadatas in transactions (done) - token locking (done) - native tokens almost on par with ADA ( on mainnet 05/03/2021 ) - Plutus & Marlowe ( smart contracts ). Testnet in March, mainnet early to late Q2, depending on testnet quality.

regisg··on Wildlife in ‘catastrophic decline’ due to human destruction, scientists warn
"France has destroyed practically all of its forest in recent centuries." It's false, it's the opposite: over the period of 1000/1500 there was much less forest in France than today because wood was the only energy for heating.

regisg··on The Haskell Elephant in the Room
Cardano was funded with an ICO in Japan, one of the most restrictive country about crypto-currencies. The amount was 64M$ which is not that much for developing a blockchain for 5 years with almost 100 researchers & devs. It's not a scam.
