Today marks the beginning of a dramatic shift in US crypto policy.
The goal is good regulation that lets a thousand flowers bloom.
The approach of the last four years was to kill the entire meadow.
The risk now is that a thousand scams bloom: the weeds choke out the flowers.

this prompted me to share my take:
- eric has done more for ethereum than 99.9% of people on CT
- the “inner circle” comment came off as arrogant, ethereum is for everyone
- the level of debating and self-criticism in ethereum is higher than any other blockchain community
- when you criticize ethereum, the way you do it matters, do you provoke, trash people, fearmonger, engagement farm or do you engage constructively and try to get shit done
- with some people lately it often felt like it was the former
- the same way that in a company you don’t want to keep the guy that riles everyone up and is not on-board with any of the stuff the company is working on, these people are not helpful to ethereum either - not because they think critically but because they’re not easy to work with
- jon is mostly alright, i liked the bankless episode but it’s clear he has some very heavy alt-l1 bags and that’s fine but his comments should be taken with a grain of salt
- its funny to see people from other L1’s froth on this stuff and chime in all the time on internal discussions, it tells you everything you need to know about their motivation

Nobody is saying you need to do purity tests and be 100% in ethereum, but it's just pure cope to pretend that people -- with competing interests -- will not exploit the ethos of every idea is valid, let's just discuss them all, and give them all equal spotlight and credibility.
I don't know what sol podcasts people listen to, but I cannot imagine mert lining up like 7 of the next 10 guests just constantly shitting on toxic mev, local fee markets, how sui and hyperliquid are eating their lunch and they're in the middle of the barbell, should they be concerned!? so on and so forth.
In general eth tolerates way more of this shit than anyone else. The list of "concerns" people have had over the past 5 years is too many to count, and almost all of them have been unfounded.

Yes we’ve lowered gas costs to .0001c
But aren’t we overlooking those people who can only afford .00001c per transaction ?

Ethereum: We’re going to scale by building a rollup-centric Ethereum.
Alts: OK. We’re going to scale at the base layer.
Ethereum: OK
<3 years later>
Alts: Ethereum still hasn’t scaled 🤭
Ethereum: We scaled with L2s exactly like we said we would.
Alts: L2s don’t count
