I was losing patience with Ethereum and starting to lose faith. I saw @TrustlessState sold, and I thought about doing the same. But after taking a closer look, I'm actually more bullish than I've been in years, and I'm not selling. The real problem? Glamsterdam, native rollups, preconfs, lean Ethereum... all of it sounds boring. We all crave visible, tangible use cases. But Ethereum isn't a consumer product. It's not even typical internet infrastructure like Stripe or AWS. It's a fundamental digital layer, like DNS or HTTPS. Crypto Twitter reminds me of those tech demos where non-technical audiences are more impressed by a flashy frontend than a 100x backend data pipeline. The trilemma is solvable, and Ethereum is still the best positioned to solve it. The marketing used to be better. The hype has faded. But I don't think that matters much. I want developers focused on executing the roadmap, which is becoming more rational and feasible by the day. L2s were a messy experiment. The blockchain revolution took longer than expected. But when has real progress ever been linear? In the future, when nations, corporations, and AI agents digitize identity, ownership, rights, and contracts, what will underpin it all? Fragile API servers and messy data standards? Paper records? I still believe the world computer has massive value. And I still believe Ethereum will be the foundation for it. I plan to keep staking my ETH and staying the course.
