There is no better analogy for Ethereum than "World Computer"

I don't understand the insistence on wanting Ethereum to be exclusively DeFi.

World Computer is self-explanatory as a vibe, but not self-explanatory as a rational market.

two words is two words.

relatively, ultrasound money was useful for its time: https://x.com/ameensol/status/1090344071007166464

programmable money is as valid as always.

but its soundness, the actual incentives driving activity and coordination, is not just brand marketing.

DeFi is absolutely critical, but not all-encompassing, to Ethereum. if people want to debate that, they need to bring the same rigor of measurement that DeFi brings to the ecosystem.

vibes should be respected as vibes, but we can do considerably better than vibes and alt-text of vibes.

I don't think its a vibe thing. It's just a better description for the technology. Ultrasound money or even programmable money feels so incomplete. Its the operating system for a decentralized web of applications of which DeFi is but one.
