Buterin: Ethereum is Linux, not Google

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated on X that Ethereum is Linux, not Google. He explained that Ethereum is not meant to be the world itself, but rather a platform embodying a specific set of subjective views for those who want or need it. Buterin emphasized that the community must adhere to its principles and be willing to pay the price, even if it means being seen as unreasonable and standing against the mainstream. He warned that if Ethereum strays from this path, it will become only slightly more decentralized than a large corporation and ultimately lose in a competition it cannot win, as such corporations have 100 times more funding.
