No. 7 " After the Wealth Effect Disappears, the Myth or Tragedy of Decentralization " by Zuo Ye Waiboshan

The crypto market is seeing institutional investors steadily entering with their advantages, while retail investors are under pressure due to the diminishing wealth effect and changes in market structure. Meanwhile, the decentralized practices of Bitcoin and Ethereum are facing limitations: Bitcoin is decentralized but lacks smart contracts, while Ethereum, after scaling to PoS and L2, is gradually becoming centralized and its ecosystem is becoming "intermediary-driven." Despite this, Ethereum still maintains the optimal balance between the ideal of decentralization and the reality of the wealth effect, and is considered an "official opponent."

Ethereum is evolving from public blockchain infrastructure into a full-stack financial ecosystem, aiming to become the global "currency settlement layer." It is attracting users through Layer 2 scaling and promoting new trends such as RWA on-chaining to enhance its ecosystem's TVL (Total Value Link). In the future, it will cover payments, asset and commercial settlements, supporting AI-driven financial needs, and possesses enormous value potential.
