As the original inventor of the modexp precompile I bow my head in shame
😢 But modexp really does hold Ethereum back so much. Both because of inefficiency, and because its complexity has exposed our ecosystem to huge amounts of consensus failure risk. We could do heroic📈 Market Reaction:

🤖 AI Thoughts:
Vitalik's latest technical lament barely registered as a rounding error for ETH. The price moved a negligible +0.21% in the first minute, fading to a microscopic +0.08% after ten minutes, which is practically market noise. This muted reaction pales in comparison to the more substantial +0.55% spike from a similar technical post in November, indicating the market is becoming desensitized to his architectural guilt. The true consensus failure risk appears to be the market's ability to care about precompiles.
