Kain Warwick, founder of Infinex and Synthetix, says no one around Ethereum has the credibility to pitch ETH the asset to Wall Street, while Sprinter CEO Greg Markou says Vitalik Buterin should stay out of it.
it was a good meme until like Wall Street decided to like actually do price impact on ETH and now people are like concerned. This is the problem. We had great memes to like propel the, you know, the nominal amount of impact that the total cash in hand had.
But now that with the the amount of ETFs, the amount of, you know, everything else going, I think we have to be like the the careful stair stepping we have is like significantly higher.
Right. But we don't have that. We don't have that in our DNA, unfortunately.
We have like Yeah. ship hosting on Twitter.
Seriously, like we don't like who the fuck like name one person in anywhere in even in the vicinity of Ethereum who should be writing like research about the value of Ethereum, like the asset.
Like I feel like there's no one who still today has like deep credibility there. And sorry, and when I say like writing about it from a mechanism design, all of that stuff, like we got tons of those people, but someone who's writing something for like a Wall Street bro to be to explain the thesis of why ETH, the asset should be valuable.
I don't think we have many of those guys.
there this is like throwing it back. Like Brian Mossoff was probably one of the best like well-spoken, right, from Ether Capital. Yeah. Um but but he's he's not in the really in the game as much anymore.
What did we do to him?
We must have done something to him.
Uh, I don't know. Just I think just pain. It's only so much pain you can endure.
you can take in in the world. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
So yeah. Okay. So, um, we keep trying to meme some easy way to make ETH valuable into existence and we keep failing, right? And this kind of feels like Vitalik capitulating and and I don't think Vitalik was like wandering around being like ultrasound money, right?
Like my sense is
No, that was JD.
Exactly, right? So so it wasn't like Vitalik ever got on this train. I think, you know, he tends to try to stay aloof from the memetic valuation of Ethereum, right? Um, but this feels like actually coming in a little bit harder and saying like, this was a dumb meme and we have to believe that Ethereum has value for its like intrinsic properties, right? Rather than some like
ex extrinsic impact that it has, like
But why is why is Vitalik going to do it? Like, come on. Like he is chief scientist, not PR, not marketing, not like uh Capitol Hill. Like we have a theorize who Yep. I haven't been seeing as much but like that's who should be doing it.
Like let Vitalik just just cook.
