One thing that has always fascinated me at startups is how the devs incessantly whine about the marketing people If the product isn't doing well, it's marketing's fault.  If the product does well, then marketing is overhyped and the devs are "too cool for that cringe" What the devs miss is that if Eth isn't money, then Eth is going to approximately zero. If we value ETH without a monetary premium on DCF, then ETH is going to continue to be down only, not only against fiat but against other crypto. Years of Vitalik's Stark overspending means that if Eth doesn't have a monetary premium, then EF will run out of money and Geth will lose their jobs.  Ethereum won't be adopted; all client dev work will be in vain. Number go up is a leading indicator of adoption, and without it, there will not be adoption. Frankly the centralized chains winning would be an even worse outcome than our current web2 overlords If Eth isn't money, then Ethereum the tech platform dies. ETH is money
