3. **Hyperfragmented Future** – 100+ L2s with incompatible bridges = $1B+ honeypot for exploiters

4. **KYC DeFi** – Regulators may force identity checks, killing permissionless innovation

5. **Scalability Trilemma 2.0** – Even after danksharding, TPS may not keep up with global demand

**Ultimate Irony**: Ethereum succeeds but becomes PayPal 2.0 – fast digital payments with extra bureaucracy
