1. Smartest people I know in crypto focus on ethereum (includes L2s)
2. Shares reserved for founders is bad ethics
3. Doesn’t differentiate enough from ETH technically to be worth a schism
4. Ways it does differ go towards centralization. Feels like the wrong direction (prefer privacy chains for example)

It clearly has major advantages over Ethereum in terms of performance and price.
Eth world uses layer 2s for that. But they’re basically different blockchains.

It’s in a tough spot marketing wise. FTX holds 13% that will get sold off at some point. Teams are leaving.

Yeah agree that its optimizing for something entirely different than ETH (data avail / distribution) vs. credibly neutral settlement. It's more of a L1.5 than a direct competitor to either ETH L1 or ETH L2s.

100% agree in a super tough spot marketing and token price wise. Down -- but not out.
