"Ethereum has a million contributors and a million validators. Solana has less than 800 validators and 92% running on one client" Joseph Chalom pushes back on the idea that Ethereum has a culture problem "There's this view that Ethereum has something around the narrative that's missing. Just look at the scoreboard again. It passed a million contributors to the code and the ecosystem. I'm not sure there's any open source blockchain project that's even close" "It has over a million validators when Solana has less than 800. It has five or six credible diversified software clients, whereas 92% of Solana is running on one client software system the last time I checked" "All the elements that matter, uptime, liquidity, developer community, composability, Ethereum is leading by miles"

$ETH is the Microsoft of crypto. Raoul Pal's Ethereum framework: If you pulled the plug on $ETH tomorrow, how much economic value gets destroyed? L2s. DeFi. RWAs. NFTs. Stablecoin rails. AI agents. That alone makes ETH undervalued. Bitcoin is global savings. Ethereum is global infrastructure. And infrastructure can scale far beyond what most people are pricing in. Micron and Intel showed what happens when years of boredom meet one explosive cycle. That’s the setup for Ethereum.

Ethereum is officially transitioning to a monopoly L2s are finished, $ETH monopolizes smart contract rails In my mental framework, $ETH is a value index of smart contracts. It has network effect (most wallets), economies of scale (60% stablecoins are tokenized on ethereum) and proprietary technology (100% uptime). It's early days to talk about value capture because no token has really pumped because of utility the past 10 years, it's mostly the social value that creates fomo which created the pumps. Ethereum is the symbol the OG crypto anarchist social value, and vitalik.eth and the Ethereum community keep pushing for that. This community can't be replaced with Solana or BNB's community, which is a real moat that Ethereum has. One can argue Bitcoin has similar or more hardcore anarchist community, yes, this is why $BTC is number one and $ETH is number two. But over time I believe Ethereum's upside is far better because smart contracts enable it to scale its community via use cases/Apps like stablecoin and DAOs. Despite Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com buying 5% of $ETH that OG ethos of Ethereum is not going to change to the "enterprise chain" ethos because of the $ETH community and vitalik.eth. $ETH $BMNR

#Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin explains why Ethereum is an unregistered security and therefore illegal in the United States. SEC and Gary Gensler, are you paying attention? Vitalik explains here on March 3, 2014, at a #Bitcoin conference in Texas that he will be headquartering Ethereum in Zug, Switzerland in order to evade securities law of the United States. Approximately 70% of Ethereum's supply was given or sold to Ethereum's founders and a few insider investors before Ethereum was made available to the public in an Initial Coin Offering. Vitalik explains here that Ethereum is a business. He is making an investment pitch to the audience. This is the definition of a security. #Bitcoin is the only crypto asset that has been deemed a true commodity by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). #BTC

"In my opinion the Ethereum network is much more secure in the long term. There's no obvious way to do a Bitcoin-like attack on it" Duke Professor Campbell Harvey on why you can't pull off the Bitcoin attack on Ethereum "This is important because most tokenized assets reside on either the Ethereum blockchain or Ethereum compatible blockchains. But Ethereum has a different method, there's no mining anymore, it's proof of stake. You'd need to take over at least a third of the existing Ethereum, and that turns out to be really hard to do" "Much of the Ethereum is staked, there's a huge queue to go into staking and not much to actually come out. About 65% of the supply is available to unstake, so to get a third you have to buy over half of the existing supply. That's going to be very expensive and would drive the price of Ether up dramatically" "The same trade we talked about for Bitcoin, where you buy the equipment and short the Bitcoin, doesn't work for Ethereum. Because you're buying the Ether, and then if you're selling, it's a wash. So there's no obvious way to do a Bitcoin-like attack on the network"
