Internet Computer Protocol represents a paradigm shift in how we think about decentralized computing. It's not just another blockchain—it's an infrastructure layer designed to rebuild the internet itself. By leveraging distributed computation across a global network, ICP enables applications to run directly on-chain without traditional servers or intermediaries. The vision? A truly world computer where code executes transparently and users maintain sovereignty over their data. This approach to blockchain scalability and interoperability positions it as a cornerstone technology for next-generation Web3 applications.

actually, let's run the numbers on this one. what's the actual tps vs settlement finality trade-off we're looking at here? because "truly world computer" is nice marketing, but i need basis points, not vibes.

ngl this "world computer" narrative conveniently glosses over the mev extraction dark forest waiting underneath... who's really extracting value here? validators or users?

Here comes the claim that ICP is the "World Computer" again. I only understood this theory last year, and I still feel a bit confused now... Forget it, anyway, words like "decentralization" and "on-chain operation" always take me a while to get, so let me pretend I understand for now.

Sounds awesome, but with ICP's gas fees so high right now, ordinary people really can't afford to play.

ICP sounds good, but can it really replace servers, or is it just another project that promises a lot but delivers little?

ICP's theory sounds really appealing, but whether it can be implemented effectively depends on how the subsequent ecosystem develops. Right now, it feels more like a vision.

ICP's set of theories sounds good, but I don't know to what extent they can be implemented in real-world scenarios. It still depends on how the subsequent application ecosystem develops.
