Vitalik Buterin: People who try to ride the heat of politicians are going astray. Ethereum needs a clearer and clearer positioning
According to online reports, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin asked in a textual AMA held on the Tako platform,"How do you view some Ethereum OGs leaving the Ethereum community?" Answer the question: There are many different people with different stories. For example, there are many people in the blockchain circle who would say 10 years ago that the goal of blockchain is to be a globally neutral system that protects individual freedoms and centralizes checks and balances. Now, if a president issues Meme coins, they will say This is real-world adoption. But why are these things happening on other chains? If we could be nicer to those politicians, we would come to Ethereum next time to issue coins. I personally feel that this kind of person has gone astray. Of course, they will say, I am too purely idealistic, unrealistic and so on. Each party has its own story. There are also some people who will say that the ecology of Ethereum is controlled by OG and there is not enough space for new people to come in. But this kind of criticism goes in another direction, with different groups issuing these arguments. I think there is only one suitable way out of these dilemmas: We need to have some updated stories explaining why Ethereum is, what ETH does, what L1 and L2 do, etc. Now is not the era of infra, but the era of applications, so these stories cannot be abstract 'free, open, censory-resistant', etc., and need some clear application chain answers. I plan to support more in the near future: info finance (which is also the direction of AI + crypto), privacy protection, high-quality public goods financing methods, and continuing to do a good job in the world's open financial platform. This must of course include RWA. There are many things here that are valuable to users and in line with the values we have always had. We need to re-support this direction, and it can also give new people more opportunities to come in.
