Uwe, thanks for your clearheaded posts.  Keep yourself safe and private,
don't let us mess with you too much.

My opinion is that cryptocurrency's problems are political rather than
cryptographic at this point.  Once cryptocurrency ecosystems are accepted
due to their ability to outcompete others, the technical issues will be
much easier to resolve.

It's exciting that Eth2 is happening, which may solve a lot of things if
ethereum gas fees reduce significantly, for example.  Do you know whether
there is technical documentation on Eth2's new security protocols anywhere,
or are technical details basically spread among blog posts, source code,
and meeting notes?
