No blobs will change the Ethereum ecosystem, not Ethereum. It's a change for the better of L2 efficiency, but really won't do much to impact speed, efficiency, or overall cost of main-net.

“The Ethereum L1 is the World Ledger.” vitalik.eth explains why ledgers—not computers—better describe the foundational purpose of Ethereum. “The nice thing about ledgers... is they encompass the subset of a computer that’s really highly economically valuable.” Ethereum as a World Ledger = narrower scope, but much greater clarity.

If you go back to 1990, Yahoo was running circles on Google in terms of revenue. But then Google came on the scene and ate their lunch, building a much more credibly neutral search engine. The same applies in the current state of crypto. While alternative L1s compete for revenue, Ethereum is playing the game at a higher dimension. This is why Ethereum will win:

The ethereum:native thesis starts with Ethereum itself. ansgar.eth says it plainly: “Ethereum and ETH can only win together.” “ETH is the asset that sits at the very core of Ethereum.” But the key point is what comes next: “The effects on ETH is a little bit of an afterthought.” “You really need to codevelop Ethereum and ETH.”

“I have a lot of conviction that Ethereum will become the settlement layer of the whole internet.” Marek explains why debates around L1s vs L2s miss the bigger picture. Payments demand fast finality today but Ethereum is already working to shorten block times and improve finality. “Network effects are powerful. And it’s going to happen.” – Marek Olszewski ( marek.gwei )
