One long memo

The author, Peter (a Geth team member), writes that Ethereum has failed for him, citing three reasons: a gap between how the Ethereum Foundation publicly describes his leadership role and how it treats him in private, unfair pay that he says pushed Foundation staff toward outside compensation, and a small group of well-connected figures around Vitalik Buterin who he says control which projects succeed. He says he does not see the ecosystem as fixable and feels stuck between staying and leaving. He cites his own total compensation for six years at the Foundation as $625K before taxes.
