Vitalik Buterin, one of the creators of Ethereum, argues that Ethereum Layers-2 is not just about scaling, but also about supporting “subcultures” that extend the Ethereum ecosystem beyond a single chain. These subcultures include "cyberpunks", "regens" and "degens". Buterin warns that developers' decisions may attract certain audiences but also exclude others. He is optimistic about the future, arguing that all subcultures can be balanced by the concept of "cultural pluralism." 🌐
