1/ I wrote a new short piece, this time on how i view Ethereum Inspired by a post by Stani which went viral some months ago listed all possible arguments in defense of Ethereum except the one that really matters...

2/ I first dismiss all 8 of his points, and go on to explore The Social Layer; what I believe is the only defensible moat of Ethereum We briefly talk about the new direction Vitalik supports, which is likely to, at least temporarily, reverse Ethereum's relative decline

3/ We cap it off with me venting off about trying to horizontally scale without a plan for atomic interoperability; the biggest, still lingering misstep of Ethereum since its inception (link next post)
