it's a fair amount to go into, but while I don't dislike Solana or Polygon, I do contest how quick many are to jump to them as preferable in light of the often over simplified environmental discussion around PoW. It's likely we will live in a multi chain world, so it's probably not either/or, however the uptime and decentralization of Eth in comparison to Solana, and the risk that L2's like Polygon are less essential when Eth2 transpires complicates things. The value of anything related to Eth is in the permanence and security of the network, and if as I do one views PoW as no cause to panic, it is harder to answer the question "why not Ethereum" given how most activity is already concentrated there, and more recent competitors have thus far only been able to imitate a fraction of its function. I didn't go into it so as not to derail Kevin's perspective as I know from his book he is staunchly against PoW, and I've voiced my perspective in previous episodes! :)
