* When I first read Vitalik's tweet, I even felt some sympathy and empathy, reflecting on whether my perspective was too narrow. But immediately, I woke up and told myself, no, this is not right! Don't be fooled by him! Because all I saw was a closed-minded, arrogant, self-important, stubborn Vitalik.
1. **Hypocritical Victim Posture**
Vitalik responds to criticism with a combination of "self-pity + paternalistic lecturing":
- First, he plays the victim ("You don't love Ethereum anymore")
- Then, he elevates the topic to avoid the issue ("Have a broader perspective and don't sweat the details")
- Throughout, he refuses to respond directly to community concerns (similar to PUA tactics in emotional manipulation)
2. **Selective Blindness**
- Ignores rational suggestions from leading projects (AAVE/Lido founders) and the community
- Deliberately amplifies extreme rhetoric to create opposition ("Opponents = casino gamblers")
- Uses the guise of "decentralization" to evade accountability (actual decision-making is highly centralized)
3. **Foundation Negligence**
- Fails to take on ecological coordination responsibilities (compared to the Solana Foundation's execution capability)
- Communication mechanisms are virtually non-existent (feedback channels are worse than a "mayor's hotline")
- Attributes conflicts to coin prices (masking the fundamental issues of governance failure)
**Essential Contradiction:**
Ethereum is facing the "elite governance dilemma"—when a technically idealistic team encounters large-scale ecological conflicts of interest, it exposes arrogance disconnected from reality, using the dogma of "decentralization" to cover up the lack of decision-making transparency, ultimately evolving into a power struggle between "technical aristocrats vs ecological citizens."
