Episode notes
Evangelize and Meme ETH Asset
- Evangelize ETH as a digital gold with yield; promote holding, staking, and restaking ETH in the community.
- Use memes, communication, and social pressure to build belief and maximalism around the ETH asset.
Prioritize Scale of Ethereum Layer One
- The Ethereum roadmap prioritized Layer 2s before fully expanding Layer 1, which broke the economic feedback loop.
- Scaling and reinforcing Layer 1 as the internet's economic hub is essential to restoring ETH's product-money feedback loop.
Scale L1 and Strengthen Rollups
- Scale Ethereum Layer 1 throughput 100x while preserving censorship resistance and decentralization.
- Focus on getting Layer 2s to become tightly integrated "base and native rollups" that share network effects with Layer 1.
