Did you know Peter Drucker had a parable about Ethereum way back in the 1950s? Guy walks past 3 block builders busy building ethereum blocks. “What are you doing?” he inquires. “Building blocks for a fair return,” says the first block builder. “Building the fastest, cheapest, most efficiently knapsacked blocks in the mempool!” says the second block builder. “Building a cypherpunk-cathedral!” says the third, with starry eyes. Peter Drucker’s commentary: The first block builder is not a problem, he’s just looking to make a living. The third block builder is not a problem either. He’s a mission-centered guy driving the whole effort with inspirational leadership from the front. The problem is the second guy.
