๐ VITALIK: ETHEREUM IS THE โLINUX + BITTORRENTโ OF CRYPTO
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says Ethereum should be viewed like BitTorrent and Linux โ not just a blockchain, but core public infrastructure for the digital economy.
๐ง What this means:
โข BitTorrent โ decentralization that scales globally
โข Linux โ open-source, trusted, and universally adopted
โข Ethereum L1 โ foundation for finance, identity, and governance without intermediaries
โ๏ธ Ethereumโs framework embodies decentralization and scalability, paving the way for greater user autonomy and rising enterprise demand for open, censorship-resistant systems.
๐ Vitalik emphasized trust minimization as the key value proposition โ enabling individuals, DAOs, and institutions to coordinate and transact without relying on centralized gatekeepers.
๐ Why it matters:
As rollups and Layer 2s expand, Ethereum L1 is positioning itself as the neutral settlement and coordination layer โ similar to how Linux became the backbone of the internet.
Ethereum isnโt just building apps โ itโs building the public infrastructure of Web3.
