if you're asking "why do we need another chain?" (some of you) then i implore you to read @liam.eth's post on why he joined Tempo and see if it changes your perspective. sharing a snippet but the full read is 100% worthwhile: https://liamhorne.com/tempo also worth reading: x.com/zcabrams/status/1963640969183859116

Even if you were buying the thesis (it's not worth buying the thesis, but let's play along), there's a critical problem here. 1) to build that chain, it makes no sense to trust a guy who claimed he would deliver world-class application-ready rollups with Optimism then bails for a new L1 under the claim rollups are not application-ready. Liam has conclusively failed at his own stated mission. 2) on the other hand, it makes perfect sense to trust that same person if you're a VC who wants to sell a token premium to retail then move on to the next con. Liam has successfully achieved that mission. If you're not an insider, the only rational choice is to assume profit motive and not listen to a word out of Liam's mouth. Casual readers might also want to know Ted, as a Privy worker, is an insider with bias in this. Privy was acquired by Stripe, which is building Tempo.

rather than criticizing a person, i appreciate criticism and skepticism around an approach or idea -- like this from Christian. i think he raises valid points. i didn't share an opinion on Tempo. i simply encouraged people to read a piece that may (or may not!) change their perspective. reminder that Tempo is an independent company and not a Stripe-specific product. https://x.com/ccatalini/status/1964027763616358450

I don't really care what you appreciate or don't appreciate, Your Majesty. Merely pointing out a potential conflict of interest you not only failed to disclose, but now pretend it doesn't matter on the basis the corporate structure is spun up well enough. Amazing. In my days, the prehistoric times, we had this thing called "ethics" which might have prompted someone to say, you know what, yes, that is relevant context I forgot to include. Yes, no doubt you are an entirely impartial bystander in encouraging people to read a promo article from a person you likely consider a friend or an acquaintance. Beyond that, I criticize the approach of trusting a person who has demonstrated distrustful behavior and incompetency at their stated mission. You are, of course, entitled to misrepresent my position naming factual dynamics, a position which could be abstracted to any individual, as a personal attack on the person, as it is more convenient than to try to refute my point logically.
