The EF is not turning away from real-world adoption, and we’re not just catering to a cypherpunk niche Doubling down on self-sovereign coordination means focusing on use cases Ethereum uniquely unlocks: unstoppable money, organizations, markets; user-owned identity, agents, social networks; programmable governance, insurance, credit, property rights These may have sounded fringe a decade ago, but as geopolitical instability, debt crises, and corporate monopolies grow so does demand for systems with unbreakable guarantees Our role at the EF is to ensure that Ethereum delivers those guarantees, both as credibly neutral infrastructure and as a rich ecosystem of applications that let users coordinate without trusted intermediaries

Two things can be true at the same time: - I'm very bearish on alt L1s, because while one can always achieve the appearance of PMF with enough VC money, in the long run a blockchain is fundamentally useless without true decentralization and credible neutrality, of which alt L1s always lack. - I'm not blindly bullish on Ethereum, because decentralization is only a necessary but not sufficient factor for true PMF. Ethereum needs to keep evolving with the real world and provide utility for a wide range of use cases that bring value to real people, and that doesn't just happen because the blockchain has 10,000 validators.

“i into crypto to be absorbed by wall street and push their permissioned payment processors” -no one ever

The EF really made it dead simple this time to rally behind Ethereum through a shared purpose. The mandate came at exactly the right time. We're literally at both the advent of software becoming a commodity and institutional adoption at scale. This means that within the next years, Ethereum can have anything we ever dreamed of and more. Scalability without sacrifices. This is not a pipe dream. We can literally do this, and nobody can stop us or outship us, because we have such a big lead in developer adoption, which will scale infinitely with AI. So the most important thing for the EF is to strengthen the very properties that can never be commoditized: Trust and credible neutrality. CROPS. Now is exactly the right time to double down and fight corporate slop with everything we have. AI did a hard reset on software complexity, which plays well into our cards. Ethereum basically auto-wins as long as we don’t mess up the very thing that nobody else could ever get, but that we could very well lose if we don’t fight for it. We're going for civilizational victory. Join us.

More time I spend here the bigger Ethereum bull I become. I truly feel like it will be the defacto ‘internet money’ for the world. I think it checks boxes that Bitcoin is technically incapable of doing while maintaining a similar level of neutrality and decentralization that can never be replicated again by another L1.

Everything in this essay is correct — but take it one step further and you'll land at an unexpected conclusion. Consumer crypto solved "don't trust corporations." Guess what? Corporations don't trust corporations either. Every major bank wants shared infrastructure for payments, settlement, tokenized assets. None will accept a competitor controlling it. That's why consortium projects die. Someone always ends up holding the keys. Public chains don't work directly because of compliance and privacy. Consortium chains don't work because every bank has seen this movie before. Early incumbents set the terms, late joiners absorb the cost. Nobody wants to join someone else's network. The only remaining option is to execute in a controlled environment but anchor the results to a settlement layer that no participant, and no future coalition of participants, can ever capture. That's what Prividium does on Ethereum. An Ethereum account gives a consumer assets no corporation can seize. Prividium gives an institution a controlled environment on shared rails no counterparty can capture. Prividium is for enterprise users what an Ethereum account is for individuals.

@R89Capital this movie was a documentary

Super villain shit UBI is going to be necessary, but who will pay for it? The giant tech companies putting tens of millions out of work *should* pay for it.. But the reality is likely just higher and higher taxes on the remaining workforce until they just snap and burn the entire country to the ground

If you think AI film can’t be art then explain this.

TIL the Ethereum Foundation is basically a volcel 🌈the more you know...🌈

@tayvano_ @divine_economy @ivangbi_ you basically just called the EF a volcel

@divine_economy @ivangbi_ @lex_node yes, the optimal outcome is morpho and the gf and everyone else in the room are all lowkey super keen to fuck you but not in a way where they expect it to actually happen (or get mad if it doesn’t.)

after talking to people at the EF and seeing posts like this, i need to admit my concerns about the ethereum mandate were pretty misguided ethereum will continue to kingmake apps simply by using and talking about them (here, morpho) because that's exactly what it should do

really good article, I'd say it maybe 15% overstates its case but really worth a read/think....

bearish attention-driven products bullish stateful smart contract protocols

@tayvano_ @ivangbi_ @divine_economy pretty sure I've been in this situation (the dinner one not the app one)

For clarity: Non-Issue #1: The EF's choice to support apps / builders and under what circumstances (everyone vs license vs etc.) I have my opinions (and I am right 😇) but I am not responsible for the decision. The people who are responsible must make the best decision they can for them, not for me. They seem to be doing that, or trying to, so I only have opinions here and they don't matter. Issue #2: Everyone agrees that builders who choose to build on Ethereum need to feel supported. Ethereum needs apps. Ethereum needs builders. Builders need support. The disagreement lies ONLY in the details. (See #1) My comment regarding Fluid is that the response is fucking brutal bc it was never about the fucking criteria, it's them feeling like they aren't appreciated and they'll never have any support on Ethereum. Let's try an analogy. You're having dinner with your 10/10 hot af workmate who you are def not fucking. Your girlfriend (by her definition, not yours, is complicated) walks in. Oh shit, she's wanted to have dinner with you all week. You ignored. Now you're having dinner with fucking Morpho?! Oh god, gf is fucking PISSED. Full up on feelings of betrayal, confusion, sadness, hopelessness, insecurity, exasperation. You: "hey so sorry i can't be with you you have brown hair." LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Excited to read through this. It’s an underexamined glitch in current licensing frameworks for blockchain systems

What is Vitalik's new document actually telling the Ethereum community? David Hoffman says it's not a reaffirmation of values, it's Vitalik telling you what Ethereum is NOT going to be "The real lens for this document is Vitalik telling you what Ethereum is not going to do ... Ethereum is going to be a cypherpunk, super lightweight, super hardened protocol. But it is not going to be an economic engine" "A lot of people in the Ethereum community like me are here to build Ethereum the economic engine. What I hear from this document is Vitalik is not really interested in that" "I have never seen any sort of signal of support from Vitalik or the EF about a green light in that direction. It's always been yellow at best"
