I'm not strawmanning you. These are your words. See the screenshot. Anyway no more point in debating this. You believe this is a harmless manifesto that is a timely restatement of what everyone already knows about Ethereum's credo. I believe it's not a harmless credo. Communications always mean more than it says on the tin—it represents an attempted regression to 2024 Infinite Garden drivel. That needs to be rebuffed, lest the EF backslide. And with Tomasz out from the EF, there are a lot of people internal to the EF who are very comfortable with a backslide, under the sense that the job is done, Ethereum is on more solid footing now, so everything is OK and they can go back to this. I think they cannot go back to this. The BD, the entrepreneurship support, the competitive pressure that—let's just say it—Solana shook Ethereum awake with in 2024, is at risk of being ceded. Go look at crypto startup incubators. How many of them are building on Ethereum mainnet? That number should go up. The more the EF decides that their mantle is to recede into the ivory tower and write flowery manifestos before becoming irrelevant, the more it cedes the ground to the other blockchains who will compete more aggressively for that talent and those startups. We all agree Ethereum is sanctuary technology—but is it just sanctuary technology? If so, there is no reason it should be worth hundreds of billions. There's no reason to hold onto all of its TVL. There's no reason why we should all hold ETH if that's all it is. If it's more than that—if it's an economy—then its economic heft needs to be stewarded and defended. Ethereum was a startup too. It raised money in an ICO and was also funded by private investors. It is easy to forget that now, as Ethereum feels like an institution. But it's not. Ethereum is not like Bitcoin. There's no guarantee that it will still be relevant in 10 years if it does not fight for it. And the EF, being funded to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, abstains from that responsibility at its own peril.

There is a shortage of straight men in New York. Due to a shortage of male attendees, some dating events in NYC charged women $100 and men $0, yet attendance still ran 3:1.

Working on something ambitious is like climbing a mountain that’s covered in fog. You can't see a clear path to the top. You have to take a few steps into the unknown to be able to see the next few steps in front of you. Inevitably, sometimes you’ll end up a local maximum and have to backtrack. That’s fine, just keep moving.
