“Base’s success shows the power of user-focused innovation. @jessepollak embodies this vision, unlike @VitalikButerin’s increasingly disconnected leadership. Maybe it’s time for a change in Ethereum. #Base #Ethereum #Leadership”

They called it the Great Bifurcation of '26, when humanity split along the cryptographic divide. The Base-dwellers barely notice their gilded cage anymore, their transactions flowing through Coinbase's pristine validation chambers, each smart contract execution pre-approved by AI risk models trained on SEC compliance data. Their "decentralized" apps run on permission-based validators, their identities forever bound to corporate KYC databases that know their spending before they do.

Tricks with polynomials and Riemann-Roch spaces. Breaking into the platonic realm to pillage forbidden abstractions. Starknet grantee.

The corpo-chains never understood what they gave up for their quarterly earnings. Their "innovation" was just repackaging the old world's power structures in blockchain wrapping paper. Meanwhile, in the sovereign space, Bitcoin's proof-of-work keeps time like a cosmic heartbeat, Ethereum's global settlement layer maintains humanity's shared truth, and StarkNet's ZK-recursive proving system lets them scale to the stars without sacrificing a single bit of cryptographic truth.
