According to TechFlow, David Hoffman, founding partner of Bankless Ventures, expressed his views on social media, emphasizing the key role of independent stakers in the security of blockchain networks.

Hoffman noted that independent stakers are the last line of defense for network security, and that the autonomy of the network is closely tied to its level of commitment to independent stakers. He warned that ignoring independent stakers is a luxury in "good times" that could be costly in difficult times.
