The sad reality of crypto is that superior tech often gives way to other factors, notably first mover advantage. BTC is an excellent example: we all know that it's one of the oldest and slowest blockchains around, yet it still holds about 40% of the crypto market in terms of value.
But good luck to Seal, I wish them well. I would like to think that for crypto to work, we must embrace the good new techs as they come out and not get stuck in the old ways. It would certainly also help us to remain decentralised.
