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.

Look it's simple:
Being aggro doesn't grow your ecosystem. It looks bad from the outside. Most people looking for a tribe don't go "oh look, this one is the most hostile to outsiders, so I'll join them"

If you don't grow your ecosystem, coin don't go up.

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