ironically this resonates a lot with what I have been thinking this year, since the mandate drama. Here's how I think about this now: Ethereum is here to help anyone protect themselves from evil. Who's evil? That would change based on context and time. In the web2 era, individuals have very little power against corporations; that's why it's easy for evil to succeed package as big corporations and screw people over. Therefore, as crypto natives, we tend to believe big companies are evil because of this asymmetry. As we move to web3, we quickly realize "individuals" can be evil here too: hackers and scammers steal real money too. You can see how it's not just fighting against companies; instead, it's about fighting against evil all the time. If a company can pass the transparency test on-chain, with reasonable control over the service and reasonable fees, I don't see anything wrong with it. It's just how economy works. Ethereum allows individuals to choose exactly whom they want to trust. It's not only useful for individuals, it's also helpful for businesses to break their exisiting trust stack, that has historically centralized power and fueled evil. If corporations all on-chain, we reduce their absolute control, and reduce switching cost for their users, further disincentivize them from going evil. I'd personally love to see more "good companies" onchain, where they can stand the competition. I personally think this a more proactive (and healthy) mentality toward the real tech world, which I'm happy to see @decentrek and ETHLabs going with.
