Vitalik just dropped a nuclear take: Stop obsessing over $ETH fee burns.
His argument? Chasing burn rates kills decentralization. The real flex isn't how much $ETH gets torched—it's whether you can self-custody and resist censorship when shit hits the fan.
"To survive is the most important metric."
He's pushing $ETH as a Store of Value play, not a deflationary gas token. This is a massive reframe for a community that's been glued to ultrasound money narratives.
Question is: Will $ETH maxis pivot, or will they keep farming hopium from burn charts?
Macro shift incoming or just another philosophical flex that gets ignored?
