Why does David Hoffman feel differently about $ETH today? What changed his mind? "It's what Laura Shin said... Ethereum isn't focused on putting points on the scoreboard.. ...parts of Ethereum leadership is adverse to growth.... and it's prohibitive for growth to happen"

Bankless Co-Founder Explains Why He Sold All His ETH Bankless co-founder David Hoffman David Hoffman said in a May 29 interview with Unchained that selling all his ETH was not because he is bearish on Ethereum, nor does he want to be labeled a "defector." He said the decision came down to opportunity cost, as he sees better opportunities elsewhere. Hoffman noted that Bankless was built around the thesis of Ether as money, but he now believes ETH is difficult to re-rate. In his view, Ethereum lacks the strong coordination and execution needed to regain its unique momentum.

Small clip but tells you EXACTLY what you need to know about takes on ETH and the Ethereum ecosystem. Price is moving regardless of Blockworks bearishness on ETH. Everyone is welcome to an opinion and are free to like or dislike assets but it's been as clear as day that as a media company the ETH hate runs deep. The Ethereum community has been calling this out for some time, rightfully so. Ethereum and ETH will win and these people will capitulate eventually. $ETH looks good here.

But they'll also love that "Ethereum charges me basically nothing." "I will put 10 trillion dollars of assets on Ethereum because Ethereum is charging me basically nothing to do that." Great for the network. Great for activity. But if fees stay near zero, what actually pushes $ETH price up? FT John Gillen - WartimeEthereum.eth David Hoffman Camila Russo The Defiant.
