Ethereum's therapist would absolutely tell it to stop catastrophizing.

i actually think you could trace many ETH problems back to EIP-1559: - made the distinction *from* Bitcoin fuzzy - ironicallyrevealed ETH's monetary policy is changeable - start of narrative-hopping - large contributor to Maxi folly, which over time looks like arrogance

We should steal Extensions from Solana and rename L2s Ethereum Extensions. It better captures the idea that L2s are part of Ethereum, that L2s extend *from* Ethereum and extend *it.* That you never leave the Ethereum Ecosystem.

polarchain l3 is rebranding back to polarchain l2. while this rebrand cost 50m approx we feel our users prefer the original name.

some quick thots on ethereum alignment as a term: - the term itself needs to be more legible, to clarify if its the same, different or adds to the social layer. - the term rubs many the wrong way implying cultural centralisation and i often wonder if cypherpunk (MECA) is the better choice. it is easier for people to align with cypherpunk values broadly than what they may perceive to be Ethereum top brass (fantasised or not) - i would promote EA (or similar) in terms of the security of the protocol from social, cultural or political attacks. in an era where protocol security is robust, the social becomes the soft belly - legibility can lend legitimacy, but can lead to Goodhart's law, so we have to be careful (academia is a warning sign here)

ok let me put it the other way. some cypherpunks are a bit degen, i accept. but, more importantly, most degens are not cypherpunks. the latter is more consequential.

It is nice to see a muscular response from people regarding Ethereum's technical identity as (rollup-centric) Roadmap and the implied Endgame. However, it does elide a little how Ethereum's social identity is and always has been somewhat ambiguous, which has not affected its position, which speaks for itself in marketcap and influence. But I do believe there is some truth to the 'identity crisis' there. Nobody can quite agree on a North Star for Ethereum, there is no Social Road Map and people fear even embedding one because they feel it would essentially be cultural centralisation. But I am somewhat concerned about it, about the question mark over what Ethereum is supposed to be, socially. Because on one hand it means we have multiple spinning narratives, none of which has widespread traction, which invites internal conflict and there be dragons (know your blockchain history). On the other, nature abhors a vacuum and if we don't fill it, someone else might, finding ourselves on the edge of our own territory.
