Vitalik's Fury Over 'Selling ETH'? Ethereum's Split Upgrade Concept Sparks Community Rift
Vitalik once again mentioned on WarpCast that 'everyone should run their own node,' emphasizing that L1 needs to be decentralized and that everyone should be able to run a node locally. This technological idealism has pushed him back into the spotlight.
As a result, he was directly confronted by Dan Romero, co-founder of Farcaster, who said, 'This idea is outdated and harmful.' He believes that promoting local node running will only deter new users, slow down Ethereum adoption, and even mocked it as a 'half-decentralized, half-idealistic' hybrid system.
Even more explosive was Vitalik's retort: 'Then you might consider selling ETH.'
Yes, the internal split within Ethereum is now on the table: on one side is Vitalik representing the 'decentralization purism,' while the pragmatists want to create a 'user-friendly + centralized assistance' approach.
The questions arise:
🔹Is L1 no longer suitable for adding too many burdens?
🔹Are nodes the ideal guardians or a technical nightmare in the eyes of retail investors?
🔹Do we really need 'every ordinary person to run a full node'?
This is a battle of paths, but also a game between faith and reality. Which side do you choose?
