Ethereum Foundation dropped another vibes manifesto, so naturally the industry is beefing over whether EF is building a “sanctuary for rebels” or just LARPing as crypto monks.

If you had to pick a chain to build on today, which one would it be? David and Haseeb say if you're wearing a suit, you're on Ethereum L1. Everyone else is either on Solana, Base, or Arbitrum "If you were to take a sample of new startups, the most common answers are Base, Arbitrum, and Solana. Ethereum mainnet is pretty far behind unless you're doing asset issuance" "If you're wearing a suit, you're on the Ethereum L1. If you are anyone else, if you're consumer crypto, you're on Solana first and then Base second" "Even DeFi ... most new DeFi applications are not on Ethereum L1"

Tom on why people are annoyed: “it’s not that people think they’re shipping fast in the wrong direction — people feel like they’re not doing anything.”

Where is Zora? "Zora left, and then came back" "To additionally expand on Solana, they didn't leave Base " "But then they had this U-turn thing" "I thought it was a marketing stunt" "It was super weird though, because it was very confusing" "Every time David comes on we talk shit about Zora, it's kind of a pastime now" "I'm also confused now because I didn't see any of this"

Haseeb on the part Ethereum people don’t want to say out loud: “why was there this big turning against Ethereum? … there’s an obvious gigantic answer, which is Solana.”

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"
