I love talking about and thinking about the rollup wars

My honest hot take is that it has never made sense for arbitrum and optimism to not merge into 1 entity and in the long run (very long run) it feels inevitable to me so long as Ethereum rollups remains a duopoly 

The only thing standing in the way of that merger is mostly egos. If they merged today everybody would be better off
