credit where it's due:

coinbase team+mafia plays a big role in keeping ethereum relevant


idk if it's b/c bags or ideology, but if they didn't contribute in many ways, i think solana et al would give eth an even harder time

Absolutely, credit where it’s due! The Coinbase team and their connections certainly play a significant role in the broader crypto ecosystem, and their advocacy for Ethereum has helped keep it at the forefront. Whether it’s for ideological reasons or their investments, their contributions have certainly provided a cushion against rising competitors like Solana. It’ll be interesting to see how this dynamic evolves as the space matures!
