Thank you for clarifying. I still think theres an asymmetrical risk to having a figurehead associated with the project in the public mind.
All things considered, Ethereum has done exceedingly well in just ten short years without a “face” — @vitalik.eth notwithstanding since he does not actively shill nor directly steer the project.
On the downside, a figurehead exposes the project to that person’s quirks and flaws, including initially-undetected egomania or toxicity, as we have seen with so many other chains.
That’s partly why I value the philosophy of subtraction — removing ourselves from the res publica / common good project, even if it means foregoing some marketing-fueled growth along the way.
On the other hand, I value having multiple educators who relentlessly explain the project to normies in their own channels — as you do with your podcast, as Paul Brody does to the business community, as @nixo and @remyroy.eth do for aspiring stakers, as the r/ethfinance team does on Reddit, etc. 1 reply
