Ethereum (ETH) founder Vitalik Buterin once again emphasized the decentralization philosophy regarding Ethereum's identity and direction.
On the 5th (local time), Vitalik Buterin stated on X (formerly Twitter), "Ethereum is Linux, not Google," clarifying that Ethereum is an open, principle-centered system rather than a large corporate platform.
He said, "Ethereum is not the world itself. Ethereum is our subjective view so that people who want or need it can use it," and added, "We must uphold our principles and be willing to pay the price for them."
He continued, "Sometimes we must accept being the unreasonable person who opposes the way of the world," and pointed out, "We are Linux, not Google. Otherwise, we will end up caught in endless competition in a state only slightly more decentralized than large corporations and be defeated."
Finally, he said, "Large corporations have 100 times more funds than us," emphasizing that the difference in philosophy and structure, not capital competition, is Ethereum's core competitiveness.
