No more love..Ethereum core developer: Foundation is out of touch with the community, has lost passion for ETH
Ethereum early developer Eric Conner released a long article today, lamenting the increasing opacity and disconnect between the Ethereum Foundation and the community as Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin gradually recedes into the background. He criticized the Ethereum Foundation's current display of "anti-victory and competitive mentality," which has led many community members to question whether they should continue to stay. In this round of the Bull Market, the Ethereum community continues to be dissatisfied with ETH's market performance and the Ethereum Foundation's fund management, and Ethereum has been unable to return to the historical high of $4,891 set in the last Bull Market, which has left investors feeling disheartened. In order to save Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, announced on the 18th that he will make significant reforms to the Ethereum Foundation's leadership structure, be more supportive of application developers, provide more transparency to the community, and establish a new 3/5 Multisignature Wallet and invest 50,000 ETH to support the Decentralized Finance ecosystem. Early developers criticize the Ethereum Foundation for lacking competitiveness. Eric Conner pointed out that after a few years, Ethereum has lost to some competitors, and now sees the Ethereum Foundation embracing the so-called "anti-victory and competitive mentality," and he has received countless private messages asking why they should continue to stay here. Eric Conner said that hearing excuses like "don't be so harsh" to ignore the community's demands is really exhausting. People are in Ethereum to change the world, not to create a safe space. Ultimately, I lost my passion for something I was once so passionate about because instead of understanding the importance of the community and listening to their demands for change, those in power followed our request for "friendliness" and who was hurt, ignoring a huge community as the last line of defense and hoping to see the fact of change. Ethereum can certainly succeed without me. I really hope Ethereum wins, but I can no longer scream in this void every day.
