Yet there's a harsh reality nobody wants to admit: pumping more money into infrastructure has become nearly impossible to defend from an economic standpoint. When the math stops working, you're left with an ugly choice—either accept the debt spiral or slash infrastructure spending. There's no third door here.

Debt spiral and infrastructure cuts... Is there really no third way?

Basically, it's a deadlock. Either it continues to deteriorate or it cuts itself off. These days, infrastructure investment is like hot potato.

Debt black hole vs. infrastructure cuts, is there really no third way? This logic seems a bit too absolute...

That's right, this is a dead end. Either go deeper into debt or cut off limbs, there truly is no third option.

Debt spiral vs. cutting expenses, there's really no way out. But have you actually calculated the on-chain infrastructure costs? The validation costs for the several L2s I’ve built positions in have now dropped to rock-bottom prices, essentially early-stage inefficiency. Who do you think will reach that balance point first? There are arbitrage opportunities here.
