Ethereum

What do you think of all of the Ethereum drama?

Are there real culture and leadership problems?

Or is this just the community coming out with the pitch forks mainly because price hasn't done well vs competitors?

Ok, time to get real with all of you for a moment...

I ran across BTC in 2012, read the white paper and was instantly hooked. As a background in finance and tech, it spoke to me. I hung out in trading IRC channels and made crypto friends 

Mt Gox hit and a ton of my friends lost…

Hmm here's my attempt at a summary:

Solana continues to get big brands and people to launch tokens on Solana. This drives attention, volume, and price increases. It's been happening long before Trump.

Solana is winning at vision and culture this cycle (Base is a huge contender, but that's a L2, not Ethereum as a whole).

So, people are upset that it appears Ethereum is going down a path of technical superiority, but no vision or culture, which will lead to no new people joining in. And this leads to price not going up.

So, yes people are upset about price, but there's an underlying issue (culture/vision) that is being raised as the main reason.

I'm kinda kidding but kinda not, but EF should hire @jessepollak because he knows how to lead, cast vision, and get stuff done.

ETH will for sure hit ATH this cycle, but maybe just a bit delayed.

I'm still here even though I may come off as hating on ETH :P I also work full-time in the Ethereum ecosystem :D

makes sense. thanks for the summary!

I think all of this is pretty healthy for the EF and community to revaluate.
probably some things that need to be different but also could be just some bad timing with were they are at in the roadmap compared to the competition.
