Why is it so hard for a public blockchain to achieve speed, security, and decentralization all at once? Many people can't answer!
Layer 2 networks execute transactions off the mainnet, then rely on Layer 1 consensus for settlement. This is one way to work around the blockchain trilemma.
When comparing public blockchains, don't just look at their advertised transactions per second. Also consider how distributed their validators are, whether the network has ever gone down, and whether people are actually using its applications.
Market conditions are always uncertain, so decide in advance what you'll do if your judgment turns out to be wrong.
