Joseph Lubin(@ethereumJoseph):> This is a "we don't know what we actually want" problem. The mob wants ETH number to go up. Failing that, someone, anyone, to point fingers at. This will require greater need for and use of ETH, and therefore more burning of ETH. Fortunately, we are getting very close to being able to implement near-synchronous and synchronous composability in which tokens will be able to move automagically via ZK proofs that set up shared atomic execution contexts across multiple networks (L1, L2s, Besu private networks, ...) in real-time. This will unify fragmented liquidity pools in real-time. Much ETH will be burned increasingly many complex bridge-less cross-chain TXs are orchestrated. TradFi is coming to do some of this. Agentic will do some of this. And DeFi will make use of this.

Unpopular opinion: The Ethereum Foundation did nothing wrong. 2024: "EF is too centralized! Step back! Let the ecosystem breathe!" They listened. 2025: Restructured leadership. Reduced influence. Gave the community space. 2026: EthLabs launches. Now the same people are screaming: "Where's the leadership?! EF is useless!" Let me get this straight: → You demanded decentralization → You got decentralization → Now you're mad there's no central leader This isn't an EF problem. This is a "we don't know what we actually want" problem. We want the aesthetics of decentralization with the comfort of a king. We want someone to blame when things fail, but no one in charge when things succeed. The EF did exactly what the community asked. And now they're being punished for it. Maybe the problem isn't the foundation. Maybe it's the mob. Ethereum doesn't need saving. It needs the mentality to grow up. Agree or disagree? 👇
