@lex_node Okay, point taken, but wouldn't you agree that Hedera (HBAR) has been "the most hated chain" and the most dependent on "adoption/expansion 'outside of crypto' " -- and, yes, it is great to see the trend of adoption from outside of crypto, lifting all boats

within the crypto community, there is the ethereum community (including its L2s, sidechains, etc.) on one side and then everyone else on the other there is almost no overlap, Ethereum is the most hated chain and ETH the most hated asset from 'within crypto'; BTC people would even team up with SOL people (even though Solana has all the things they criticized Ethereum about, but at least 10x) than see anything good happen with Ethereum as an ETH holder or builder, you just have to realize and accept this--& also accept that for this reason any success of Ethereum beyond current Ethereum ecosystem will come from adoption/expansion 'outside of crypto'; all the crypto VCs etc. are all too heavily invested outside of Ethereum fortunately adoption of Ethereum (and ETH!) from outside of crypto seems to be happening, and at an impressive speed/scale
