CoinVoice has learned that Vitalik said in an AMA event: "Many people in the blockchain community would have said 10 years ago that the goal of the blockchain is to create a globally neutral system to protect individual freedom. Now, if a president launches a memecoin, they would say, 'Wow, this is Real World Adoption, great! But why not on-chain? If we could be a bit friendlier to those politicians, next time it will happen on our on-chain!' Personally, I think these people have gone astray. Of course, they would say that I am too idealistic, not realistic, and so on. Each side has its own story.
Some people also say that the Ethereum ecosystem is too OG-controlled and there is not enough space for newcomers. However, this criticism comes from a different direction, with different groups making these arguments. I think there is only one right way for us to get out of this predicament: we need some updated storytelling to explain why Ethereum is, what ETH is for, what L1 and L2 are for, and so on. It's no longer the era of Infra, but the era of Applications, which requires clear answers at the Application Layer. We need to re-support this direction, which can also provide more opportunities for newcomers here.
