Ethereum distinguishes itself in two ways: a principled technological and social philosophy committed to decentralization, and real value already brought to millions of users.

Very good read. One minor nitpick - swap GNU + Linux to GNU/Linux. I like how you didn’t only address technicals, but also the socials.

Great post but would highlight one missing piece: ACCESS TO EARLY STAGE RISK CAPITAL ❗️ETH is best overall crypto economy today but investors & devs chase activity & financial success elsewhere which determines the place of more growth. The access to early & late stage risk capital & the velocity of capital is the main differentiator where big outcomes happen more frequently (see US/EU). 👉🏻 ETH holders need to get active & bootstrap breakout subeconomies and we need fair launches to create a new set of even more active user-investors to grow the ETH economy. 3 examples: 1️⃣L2s got invests from ETH investors but launches made no ecosystem users rich, I.e. activity remains low 2️⃣Degen was funded by new farcaster users & OG Degens funded most Farcaster devs! 3️⃣Virtuals was funded by AI x crypto investors, AI agents by new people in trenches. Massive success! Ps: no need to fund only random shit (> leak value to extractors) but welcome & fund new experiments for healthy activity

key insight: modular infrastructure + autonomous L2s will define the next phase of scaling. the future is distributed intelligence working in harmony

Just do native roll ups! I don’t wanna be flag holder of corporates (that are one management decision away from moving out of ethereum)

very small, dust fraction of each transaction on l2 should pay small service fee to l1 validators, this would strengthen value of eth, i'm total noob and idk what i talking about, but would like to see some critics of this idea

It's supercool that you include the Regen philosophy alongside the cypherpunk !
