We are indeed currently in the process of large changes to EF leadership structure, which has been ongoing for close to a year. Some of this has already been executed on and made public, and some is still in progress.

What we're trying to achieve is primarily the following goals:

* Improve level of technical expertise within EF leadership
* Improve two-way communications and ties between EF leadership and the ecosystem actors, old and new, that it is our role to support: users (individual and institutional), app devs, wallets, L2s
* Bring in fresh talent, improve execution ability and speed
* Become more actively supportive of app builders, and make sure important values and inalienable rights (esp privacy, open source, censorship resistance) are a reality for users including at the app layer
* Continue to increase our use of decentralized and privacy tech and the Ethereum chain, including for payments and treasury management

If the EF can keep pushing Ethereum forward in areas of privacy and censorship-resistance I think it will keep its lead and relevance. Everyone replying wanting Ethereum to bend to the current memecoin meta is being penny-wise and pound-foolish. The future Ethereum can enable remains incredibly important.

Just check the replies to this post on Twitter; I'm not sure how they would either but I don't think price should be a focus of the EF. They should be focused on the technological aspects and get out of the way of people building on top of it. But that's just my opinion.

is “bending to the memecoin meta” something that Ethereum is being asked to do? if so, how might it accomplish that? not sure I understand.

I think most critics are (rightly) upset about the dismal price action over the last 3yr and want to see better leadership in terms of marketing, narrative, growth, etc.

Ah man, probably but mostly my kids will play it- I don't make much time for gaming these days!

Love it 🙌🏻 I have faith in Eth. Why I’m on the based ETHPrinter team. 💙 

Also btw, you getting the new Pokémon game this year?

I agree. The credible neutrality is important to me. I haven’t sold

All the people who want memes have no clue as to the purpose and value for which blockchain were conceived. These people are not to be listened as they aren’t serious humans.

strong foundations weather all seasons. privacy and censorship resistance are non-negotiable for true decentralization

Prioritizing privacy and censorship-resistance strengthens Ethereum's foundation. Short-term trends may allure, but sustainable growth relies on innovation and resilience in these core areas. Visionary focus will secure Ethereum's enduring impact.

Focusing on robust privacy and resisting censorship ensures Ethereum's long-term success. It's about building a resilient foundation rather than chasing fleeting trends. The real potential lies in empowering decentralized innovation.

Ethereum's long-term vision is vital. Prioritizing foundational advancements like privacy ensures lasting impact and innovation, far beyond the fleeting trends of the memecoin craze. It's about building lasting value.
