on Ethereum alignment. It’s a loaded term. alignment for the sake of alignment does not make sense, incentives inevitably become perverse. And creating culture where people focus on alignment politics actually kills the larger habitat as a whole. I think eth dealt with this last bear market and didn’t fully resolve everything. So when it comes to MEGA, and my obvious incentives with it, the relationship with Ethereum is clear: I need it to succeed for MegaETH to make sense. What that means is Ethereum being this ultra decentralized settlement layer which can justify megaeth block production being more centralized. I am not worried about eth scale “competing” with MEGA but I am worried that if the Overton window for shifts towards centralising L1s, the trade off which justified building MegaETH make less sense (why force exit to a centralized L1) How that manifests into Ethereum politics is that I believe Ethereum should focus on remaining decentralized as opposed to giving up those properties in an attempt to go compete with fast centralized L1s in their games. I also believe that for MegaETH to become truly successful, it needs to find some new design space for usecases that dont exist on eth l1. This is net positive for both parties yes, but it’s more so because it justifies the architectural trade offs. Anyways, I got into crypto through Ethereum, I am a bit of a tribalist and I hold the same core value set as the eth community- incorruptibility for global settlement.
