The developer experience is irrelevant when it comes to handling money in volume.

Take the spacex example above. They are using a stablecoin to abstract away a bunch of illiquid and unstable foreign currencies. Getting rid of that huge pain of carrying 100 countries’ currencies via various banks is the value prop. The API could be cobol and it wouldn’t matter.

and yet, when you look at what comprises a stablecoin alongside the frictions unstable foreign countries have, you'll see why they occur on EVMs and not some other architecture

> The API could be cobol and it wouldn’t matter

you can probably get cobol to transpile to bytecode that EVMs can use. I get the point you're trying to make that excludes blockchains, but you don't make that point

		If you thought I was trying to exclude blockchains, reread what I said because it wasn’t that. I’m saying the API can be complete trash and whether it’s a blockchain or a traditional bank, the thing that will drive the decision is money. >the third party, unaffiliated, developer experience is better on an EVM than it is is on a traditional centralized database. The developer experience is completely irrelevant when millions of dollars a week are on the line. The API doesn’t matter.
