Ethereum

fear that we may look back at the era from 2021 to 2025 and realize that whilst our industry did not die from regulatory, law enforcement and market attacks

they managed to tame crypto, they managed to change crypto into another boring fintech, another boring corporate industry

to an industry that prints out permissioned, RWA, KYCd, insider manipulated, non privacy, value constricting protocols and even value extracting protocols

they took the spark that once was, the democratization of everything, the ability for anyone to play fair, the freedom to build with innovation, the ability to give users true power and ownership... the ability to dream

i hope the pendulum swings back, i hope reflexivity occurs

i hope the ability to dream to create crypto native value survives... imagine if the internet stopped innovating internet native businesses at the email stage

i hope real DeFi survives, i hope real privacy survives

i hope
