have seen several early base supporters becoming jaded. coinbase pushing the coinbase agenda has always been at play and will continue to be. that said coinbase has done more good for the industry than many.

for base to survive long term it must be able to exist independently of coinbase or its agenda. i believe the team is moving in this direction. i would hope the opinions of those early builders speaking out will be taken seriously for the good of the network.

a centralized team is always a threat to a decentralized protocol. decentralized systems exist to protect us from ourselves.

that said you are free to deploy on base or any other network. i like base. low fees, based builders, institutional backing, building cool tools, push towards decentralization.

base team has been very supportive. regardless of this i would continue to build. it was always the case that @bankrbot be multi-chain, but i started with base because of the massive early support for builders—something other L2s just weren't doing.

i remain ethereum aligned.
