According to Foresight News, Vitalik Buterin recently shared his thoughts on the concept of the 'one-sided competence trap' in a post on X. In his commentary on the article 'Bitcoin Block Size War,' Buterin elaborated on this idea, which he believes is prevalent in various environments. He emphasized the need for a better understanding of how to escape this trap.

The 'one-sided competence trap' describes a scenario where one party monopolizes all capable individuals and uses them to promote a narrow and biased perspective. Meanwhile, the opposing party, although correctly identifying the issue, becomes overly focused on resisting the status quo without developing their own technical capabilities to realize their viewpoint.
