To this day, the market has not fully realized the significance of Ethereum's 'narrow path'.
In the crypto space, it is difficult to balance decentralization, performance, and security. Therefore, in pursuit of two of these aspects, most will sacrifice the other. Apart from the narrative of Bitcoin as digital gold, only Ethereum has adhered to the most important direction of decentralization. Taking the narrow path means it will be slower, the process will be more painful, and it will face countless mockery and ridicule, but the path will become wider and wider.
Taking the broad path means sacrificing decentralization in pursuit of high performance. In the early stages, it was indeed very satisfying, with pleasing prices, lively activity, and exhilarating experiences.
