According to Odaily, Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy has stated that if Ethereum were to fail in the future, it would not be due to technical shortcomings compared to competitors like Solana. Instead, the core issue lies in the contradictions within Ethereum's leadership. Gaevoy suggests that Ethereum's leaders are attempting to create a capitalist blockchain system while simultaneously addressing social issues, a task he believes to be inherently contradictory. He argues that one can either build capitalism or plan socialism, but the two cannot coexist.
