The founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, recently shared an interesting post on Twitter that is hard not to admire after reading! The post said that Ethereum's performance over the past decade is simply like a "iron man":

1. Ten Years of Achievements:
- Never stopped running.
- Never requires maintenance or upgrades
- 3650 days × 24 hours of uninterrupted operation
2. Comparison with other major companies:
- Facebook once went down for 14 hours, leaving users around the world in disbelief.
- Cloudflare directly abandoned 19 data centers
- Other public chains often run into problems.
3. The storms experienced:
- Fork War (ETC Split)
- Price plummeted (has experienced a drop of 80% from the peak)
- Various hacking attacks (like the DAO incident)
- Regulatory troubles (SEC is watching every day)
The best part is:
- Banks may go bankrupt.
- Servers need to be maintained regularly.
- But Ethereum keeps running like a perpetual motion machine.
This is like:
- Other people's children occasionally get sick and take leave from exams.
- Ethereum is a top student who never takes leave.
- Still scoring full marks every time
Insights for us:
1. Blockchain is indeed reliable.
2. Ethereum network is hardcore
3. Trustworthy in the long run
4. However, the short-term price fluctuations will still occur.
So, even though the price of coins fluctuates wildly and can be alarming, at least the Ethereum underlying network is truly stable as a rock! However, investment is investment, and you mustn't put all your savings on the line; rationality is the most important thing~#以太坊突破3800
