Nifty Thought:
The digitally released film chronicling Vitalik Buterin’s journey to Ethereum (VITALIK: AN ETHEREUM JOURNEY) has been published at time when $ETH sentiment is the lowest it’s been post-pandemic. The feature documentary is positioned positively around Vitalik’s “innovative vision for a decentralized internet [that] can bring order and hope to a world in crisis”. It is now available on Apple TV, Prime Video, and Vimeo on demand. While Vitalik’s ambitions and philosophical thinkings are commendable, the Ethereum empire upon which his platform is built on top of has been collapsing. Not only has Ethereum’s underperformance persisted for years (with the ETH/BTC pair seemingly making new local lows every month), but major opinion leaders have also begun abandoning support of the chain. Bankless, once known as “maximalists” blindly supporting Ethereum and positioning it as “ultra sound money” have finally publicly capitulated noting their shift away from $ETH media coverage. It is clear that Ethereum is truly at an inflection point. Is $ETH finished? Likely not. Will $ETH ever outperform the crypto market again? Given the current trajectory of both price and product development, the answer currently seems to be no. Something foundational needs to change to reverse the current overwhelming negative narrative surrounding the token. This documentary, sadly, likely does more harm than good as the film pontificates on philosophies that mean little to most regular crypto users.
