#以太坊的未来 Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently made headlines with a bold prediction: Ethereum may collapse in the next 15 years. The reasons? Fragmentation, outdated technology, and over-reliance on Layer 2 networks.
🔹 "Ethereum will ultimately end up like BlackBerry or MySpace," Hoskinson stated.
Having co-founded Ethereum, he believes the platform is on the path to structural failure.
According to him, Ethereum is becoming overly reliant on Layer 2 scaling solutions like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base, which are slowly "extracting value" instead of helping the main chain grow.
🗣️ "Layer 2 will continue to absorb all the alpha — then people will start to fight," Hoskinson warned.
He also cautioned that Ethereum faces the risk of fracturing into a mosaic of semi-autonomous networks, which could undermine its network effects and long-term sustainability.
