Why do people often say “wait for 6 confirmations” with Bitcoin, but “finality” with Ethereum?
Probabilistic finality is like a stack of paper that gets taller and taller—the more sheets piled on top, the harder it is to pull out the one at the bottom. Deterministic finality is more like a signed contract: once it’s signed, there’s no taking it back.
There’s no homework for this lesson, but the market may give you a pop quiz.
When you see claims of stable, high returns, be extra skeptical.
