Seems like it lured lots of opportunistic dev talent rather than philosophically aligned dev talent. 

For that reason, it feels fragile to me.

In a very abstract sense, sure, but I think the Ethereum legendarium - thanks in large part to @vitalik.eth ‘s humility - attracts and keeps more talent that’s emotionally lured rather than financially. 

Would be interested in seeing GitHub code commit volume post-SBF.

To be clear - I still think there’s underdog potential. Just a lower confidence interval (which could be acceptable given the upside potential)

Curious how you discern the difference between the two? 

Just about every crypto ecosystem has lured opportunistcally either explictly or implicitly, no?
