Ethereum

ethereum’s renaissance in 2025 is like jobs returning to apple in 1997 ↓

lore @optimism | ex: @coinbase | views are my own | what if it all worked out? 

when jobs returned in 1997, it wasn’t as a messiah it was as a pragmatist with vision.

he slashed 70% of the product line.

he focused the team on what mattered.

he told them to stop trying to be right, and start trying to win.

this is where ethereum is now.

the platform is solid.

the fragmentation is being cleaned up.

the apps are starting to click.

and a leadership shift has brought back hunger, clarity, and pragmatism.

pragmatism isn’t a betrayal of the dream.

it’s how the dream grows up.

it’s the phase where the ideas stop being just ours, and start becoming everyone’s.

ethereum doesn’t need to abandon its values.

it needs to express them through experience.

through delightful apps. 
seamless onboarding. 
invisible crypto.

tools that work for humans, not just devs.

steve jobs’ genius wasn’t just in inventing, it was in translating.

he took radical ideas and made them irresistible to the mainstream.

ethereum’s next chapter depends on people who can do the same.

many of us are excited for the challenge.

this is why i’m bullish.
not just on the tech,
but on the shift in the community itself. 

we’re not chasing stars anymore.
we’re building constellations people can actually follow.

& by the way, the ticker is eth.

by the mid-90s, apple was in shambles.

too many product lines. too many conflicting visions.

internally, it was paralyzed by idealism and infighting.

externally, it was being outpaced by competitors who focused on execution.

sound familiar?

This is not the truth I want.
It is the truth we need.
