Decentralization is Key to Mass Adoption

The recent question posed by Vitalik Buterin has sparked heated discussion in the industry. Why have BitTorrent and Linux been widely adopted worldwide despite rejecting centralized systems? Buterin’s answer is clear: it’s the power of decentralization.

Ethereum is following the same path. Just as BitTorrent downloads operate without central servers, Buterin’s core argument is that Ethereum can provide financial and infrastructure services without intermediaries.

Open Systems Drive the World

The success story of Linux is even more compelling. Why did governments and companies choose Linux? Because of its openness and transparency. Similarly, Ethereum Layer 1( aims to provide an open and decentralized foundation, serving as a trusted infrastructure for organizations around the world.

The True Role of L1 is Freedom

The goal of Ethereum Layer 1 is simple but profound: to provide a financial and infrastructure foundation for individuals and organizations seeking high autonomy. This approach maximizes the network’s potential without relying on intermediaries.

At the same time, Buterin emphasizes the importance of balance. It means achieving both large-scale usability and enterprise-level trustworthiness. A system as easy as BitTorrent downloads and as robust as Linux is Ethereum’s true vision.
