“Ethereum as a commons” is such a useful frame for me

Anyone can contribute, anyone can see the constraints directing labor (public decision making, EIP process), anyone can use/produce the shared resources (software, blockspace, history)

That’s very different from what we’ve come to expect of our technology

- how capital engages w/ these commons

I was thinking recently about how Ethereum only works because it's ~communist at the protocol level (collective ownership, consensus governance) and ~capitalist at the transaction/contract level (market dynamics, tokens, MEV, etc). Maybe something else at the L0 social level?
