@evan_van_ness It was one of the first red flags for me that the argument was being made in bad faith when people started talking about "the introduction" of MVI with any of the proposed curve adjustments.
Like.. where have you been?
there is really only one good way to fix Ethereum marketing, and it is to ruthlessly focus on the fact that it is the best chain to do whatever you want on without fear of any authority stopping you
all tech development should also be geared this way--things like inclusion lists etc to further limit even 'soft censorship'
the tech should be bolstered by a demonstrable, broad, ironclad social consensus against censorship and in favor of punishing those who censor (even through social slashing etc.)--and this muscle should be flexed from time to time, to show we really mean it -- the OFAC moment was a lost opportunity
this is the 'ethereum social alignment' people should have been focused on, instead of silly FUD about Lido...
I can't really imagine Ethereum 'winning' on any other basis...all of its decisions have been geared toward maximization of decentralization and autonomy...if you don't harness that and advertise it and stay true to it, you've wasted the entire development philosophy, when you could've accepted more centralization & dependencies to get better UX, performance, etc.
I wanted to make a joke here, but I just can't. Super sad to see.
I applaud the transparency, but he was probably the biggest / most well known voice in the fight agains LST's and restaking. I know he say's he'll stay critical, but money corrupts the subconscious in ways that you'd never believe. There's a reason companies spend so much money on lobbying: it works.
Restaking promotes LST usage, increases systemic risks for Ethereum, and centralizes the validator set through increased hardware requirements. Justin helped teach me this. With the issuance curve debate, coordinated actor penalties, and gas limit discussions all currently being discussed, it's hard to see how a vision with restaking in mind won't affect one's thoughts on these issues.
A movement like Ethereum or crypto doesn't end with a bang, it's bought and sold for years until it no longer resembles itself.
I can't judge, because I've never been offered those kinds of deals, but I'll hold out hope he'll do what he can. Wish him nothing but the best and congratulate him on the upcoming financial freedom.

Because fiat monetary systems are “leaky,” people better preserve wealth by spending money on assets than by saving money. Saved money acts as a honeypot for theft from the central bank to pay political promises, so people are forced to spend to avoid theft via debasement.
