i see Ethereum etc. as rhizomatic: open, decentralized, non-hierarchical, offering many entry + exit points
i.e. a rising counter to arborescent centralized structures of control/thought, a network of escape routes, extra-sovereign and liberating

My essay "Infinite Story Machine" is out now in the EIC01 issue!
It explores Ethereum as a rising Book of Everything, a rhizomatic bloom with endless potential where a single creative act can ripple out very far.

What if a nation state wanted to 51% attack Bitcoin and Ethereum?
New research suggests it would take months, cost up to $22B for BTC or $34B for ETH, and ultimately be unprofitable

Deleuze & Guattari's concepts of "rhizomatic thought" and "nomads" is very relevant to Zora imo
i.e. Zora = extra-sovereign tech, with multiple nonhierarchical entry/exit points, that provides flights of escape to culture beyond mainstream/State control, thus fostering a global nomadic "tribe" building at world's edge

Ethereum's security is legit
29M ETH staked x $2.3k ETH price = $69B economic security
That's nearly 7 times more than Bitcoin's current ~$10B
