As you might have noticed, I have been a bit more tempered in my stance on $ETH lately. The decline of ETH’s relative valuation has caused it to lose investor confidence, and when ETH aspires to be internet money, confidence is key. 

The reasons behind ETH’s lagging performance have been the subject of debate for years now. Many of these issues plaguing ETH's relative valuation have been outside of its control – Gary Gensler, Michael Saylor, etc. (Gensler is gone, and ETH treasury companies have finally arrived; some external problems will just fix themselves.)

But today, I want to shine a light on the challenges that are firmly under the Ethereum community’s control, because Ethereum has plenty of agency over many of the reasons why it has lagged the market for 3+ years. These are the problems we should focus our energies upon to reinvigorate potential ETH buyers.
