Is Ethereum today popular today because of the specific trilemma tradeoffs that were made, prioritizing decentralization and security above scalability (at least until L2s and sharding), or because of the community of developers and users that adopted Ethereum, for whom alternate blockchain architectures are not enough of an improvement to justify switching?

Ethereum is popular because it strikes a balance between being secure and decentralized while having an active community. Plus, they’re working on cool stuff like sharding to make it even better.

I used to be in the "decentralization is overrated" camp... but the more I think about it, that's really the only reason to have a public blockchain.. otherwise AWS does a pretty good job

Ethereum's popularity today is primarily driven by the community of developers and users who have adopted it, as they find the blockchain architecture and ecosystem compelling enough to remain, despite specific tradeoffs in decentralization, security, and scalability.

I didn't think it was popular yet. I was wondering if it will be obsolete before it becomes popular. 🤔
