- Circle's IPO was a huge success (Coinbase has a big stake in Circle) and

part of a broader critique of l2s, but more relevant now with base leading the pack. the recent silence at SOC just highlighted it

in general, not giving credits where it’s due isn’t a good look

I encourage you to read @sassal.eth's tweet if you need a few reasons to mention ethereum.

not sure how it looks from the inside, but to many it feels like you only bring up ethereum when it’s convenient. people speak up because coinbase has a strong voice yet ethereum doesn't even get the bare minimum acknowledgment, while bitcoin is all over the place.

might be worth paying more attention to words and actions

Hmm not mentioning != “acting like isn’t built on”

Base is also built on the OP Stack. How many times was that mentioned?

There’s often not a good reason to discuss these aspect. Not always relevant.

To me, it looks insecure to demand that “Ethereum” is said with some frequency.
