🚀 VITALIK: ETHEREUM IS THE “LINUX + BITTORRENT” OF CRYPTO
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says Ethereum should be viewed like BitTorrent and Linux — not just a blockchain, but core public infrastructure for the digital economy.
🧠 What this means:
• BitTorrent → decentralization that scales globally
• Linux → open-source, trusted, and universally adopted
• Ethereum L1 → foundation for finance, identity, and governance without intermediaries
⚙️ Ethereum’s framework embodies decentralization and scalability, paving the way for greater user autonomy and rising enterprise demand for open, censorship-resistant systems.
🔐 Vitalik emphasized trust minimization as the key value proposition — enabling individuals, DAOs, and institutions to coordinate and transact without relying on centralized gatekeepers.
🌐 Why it matters:
As rollups and Layer 2s expand, Ethereum L1 is positioning itself as the neutral settlement and coordination layer — similar to how Linux became the backbone of the internet.
Ethereum isn’t just building apps — it’s building the public infrastructure of Web3.
