The first time I actually used Ethereum—not traded it, not watched the price—I knew something was different.
Not smoother.
Not cheaper.
But permissionless in a way that sticks.
Ethereum stopped feeling like a ticker and started feeling like a system.
No approvals. No middlemen. No identity checks.
Just code executing exactly as written—for better or worse.
Ethereum isn’t a “world computer.”
It feels more like an open construction zone:
Anyone can build
Some things last
Some collapse fast
Smart contracts are simple and brutal:
“If X happens, Y executes. No excuses.”
That’s the power—and the danger.
Ethereum doesn’t protect bad ideas.
It executes them perfectly.
Builders love it because it removes excuses.
They fear it because shortcuts get punished immediately.
Yes, gas fees hurt.
That’s the cost of decentralization and security.
Layer 2s help—but add complexity. Anyone claiming otherwise hasn’t used Ethereum during peak hours.
Ethereum is loud. Messy. Chaotic.
But that chaos signals life.
What made me trust it more?
Failure is public.
Bugs are dissected, not buried.
Ethereum isn’t polished.
It isn’t easy.
It isn’t guaranteed.
But it’s trying to solve hard problems instead of hiding them.
I’m not certain about Ethereum.
And that’s exactly why I’m still watching.
Ethereum doesn’t offer comfort or certainty.
It offers possibility through execution.
