Personally quite struck by the wild visual aesthetics, weird fantasy milady vibes, combined with texts like:

Dreams are streaming into you “accept”

Divinely guided and protected

Plentitude achieved : we are all one in love

lol

But afraid I’m a bit in the cyberpunk camp. Ethereum needs to be an agnostic platform, like the soil onto which stuff can grow. (Oh no another garden metaphor ;) … unintentional. Seems I’m already brainwashed by the cult haha.

In my opinion Ethereum doesn’t need PMF, we don’t need another Google or corpo chain. But who’s providing the fertilizer? It has to be actually usable.

Anyway it’s good people are not aligned. It means the ecosystem is alive and healthy. We need to keep discussing why and for what or who is Ethereum. Ethereum is a journey not an end.

cypherpunk that is ;) .. autocorrect

To me, the EF and Ethereum is like the German government. They booth suffer from a severe lack of reflection. They both were once important institutions people looked to for advice and leadership. But their times passed and very gradually their traction for saying things slipped away. Now they‘re still not getting it, but at the same time they still speak with hubris, although their time has passed. They will make great announcements and speak about turning the ship around. But nothing will ever affect me and you. Because fundamentally, nothing happens.

So literally whatever! Release the pdf. Don‘t do it. I have stopped to believe that this will have any impact on myself. Because also the last pdf-releasing moments didn‘t do anything. We are probably in a great moment of stagnation or decentralization.

real as fuck
