According to ChainCatcher, Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy said at X: “If Ethereum fails in the future, it will not be because ‘Solana is faster’, but because Ethereum’s ‘elites’ are caught in a huge contradiction.”
Gaevoy said that Vitalik, Hayden, and many others are trying to “solve capitalism” by arguing that what they build will only be respected “if the purpose is valuable (health care, open source software, art, etc.)” or “the best builders in the field are motivated by positive social change.” Add to this the endless attempts to “solve” MEV. Either you are building capitalism or you are building planned socialism, but you can’t have it both ways.
