MegaETH Debate + Web3’s Habit of Overbuilding
Description
Cap opened Thursday’s show with a brief update on Coffee with Captain’s upcoming Zora rollout, clarifying that its creator coin is only a platform feature and carries no financial value. The main conversation centered on MegaETH as both a model and a debate point, highlighting why many see it as one of the most credible on-chain experiments while also examining what potential bearish views might miss or get right. Cap and the community used the project to unpack builder incentives, oracle accuracy, and how verifiable participation differs from hype-driven activity. The group then explored the balance between privacy and decentralization, touching on how systems like Zcash and Monero approach transparency, before wrapping with lighter takes on new projects like TokenWorks and its confusing “Nakamoto cards.”
