Wait, so you’re the co-founder and the intern at the same company?
yes
The company exists to minimise the cost of increasing the speed of a transaction with "gas fees". Sort of like when you pay for something with your debit card and then pay a second company to make the transaction go through in under a day.
It isn't just not dead; it's the basis of many secondary grifts, such as NFTs. NFTs were minted from the start using ETH and charging "gas" each and every time while burning the planet down a little faster.
bleh awful! thank you for the update tho.
It's down 30-70% from 2 years ago fwiw depending on when they bought. One Ether is worth about 1500 USD right now but there were spikes in 2021 to like 3-4 grand.
