about ‘eth goes hard’

The commenter argues that Ethereum's distinctive property is objective, strict global consensus and nothing else, so it suits only use cases that need that kind of consensus. Money, contracts, governance, identity and law are described as areas where Ethereum can handle only a very limited, objective slice, and governance and law are called almost entirely subjective with negligible scope for it to help. The commenter claims that 99.99% of economics and institutions are subjective and cannot be interpreted by Ethereum or blockchains in general, and says forcing subjectivity into code has produced disastrous outcomes in crypto.
