Ethereum

ethereum should distance itself from speculative use cases by selectively highlighting the apps aligned with its core values.

we need to shift the narrative from speculation to real world impact.

If you believe in the Perez framework (https://avc.com/2015/02/the-carlota-perez-framework/), then trying to recreate Pump on Ethereum not only has cultural headwinds, but market headwinds as well

The next era of crypto is about production capital, not financial capital. Capitulating to speculation now is a laggard move

Agree, though IMO it's less about speculation and more about high churn/short duration games. It's unsurprising that they can get really popular really fast, but it's the furthest thing from a reliable long term commitment.

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Sufficiently advanced high churn/short duration games are indistinguishable from speculation

@kia has given me this spiel before

Speculation is a necessary but not sufficient market primitive

Topkek, but srsly I'd argue that at best we're working with a poor definition of speculation. Speculation in an objective sense has a lot of value, we can (and must) speculate on long time horizons, both on low risk and high risk endeavours. Everything relies on speculation, but that doesn't make pumpfun everything.
