is this completely true? no secret that Ethereum is Eloi of crypto. nobody expects leaders or inner circles of Ethereum to be best-in-class corporate mercenaries. but with all due respect to dankrad, this frame of tribal impression reduces Ethereum to the "incoming freshmen get hazed before societal admittance" multi-level confidence scheme that so many zombie/VC infra teams use as a crutch. "build it, and they will come" is a slogan from a fictional narrative. when is anything simple? the unflattering truth is that Ethereum used to be best-in-class for public offerings and secondary AMM, but the community-building is anything but best-in-class, most participants traded in with a greater fool theory, some "in it for the tech". if any ecosystem is best-in-class at building holistically, there's going to be healthy amount of aggro. it's not some nonchalant "toy demo so good, resell, repeat" business as usual. https://x.com/dankrad/status/1868327074416542020

the ecosystem has shown urgency at times, but it hasn't advocated well enough for why it should ask so much and give out so much. Protocol Guild is really cool, but it's dust compared to the shitters. if they were genuinely focused on their stated mission, they'd create2 all classic betting games and clankers with 1% PG fee and points leaderboard to the main L2s, filling the speculative void. it's their upside to ship. same with funny money on Sepolia. no open game, no universal bragging rights? get what you pay for. and there wouldn't be ambivalence around EF's activity if it was actually grounded to relentless growth. cabal, inner circle, bubble, losing the plot, whatever. this, too, shall pass.

some level of aggro is good, you can’t be a pushover
