The current Web3 industry is陷入 a collective confusion and chaos. The track that once embodied the ideal of "technology driving social progress" is now被投机 and浮躁, with new explosive points迟迟未现. Looking around, it is full of homogeneous altcoins, meaningless air projects, and speculative gambling houses disguised as "decentralization"—exchanges earn transaction fees effortlessly, the so-called "masters" have become "stackers" that induce trading, and most projects have no real value. Listing has become a means to cash out, with retail investors becoming the last ones to take over. The entire industry is gradually陷入 a negative-sum game of mutual exploitation, with many practitioners and investors exhausting their enthusiasm amid the chaos, even starting to doubt the future and original intention of Web3. Just as this confusion and anxiety spreads, and everyone is searching for direction, Ethereum founder V God’s latest interpretation arrives as scheduled, like a shot of adrenaline piercing through the chaotic fog of the industry. It not only harshly criticizes the current speculative chaos but also clearly points out the true way out for Web3, injecting much-needed confidence and strength to move forward for the industry and practitioners who are stagnating.

This world is becoming increasingly unsettling.

government surveillance, war conflicts, the power expansion of large companies, social media becoming a battlefield of information, AI being abused and manipulated... we witness chaos, division, and increasing distrust every day.

Everyone is worried, yet few truly answer: what can ordinary people rely on to maintain freedom, privacy, and a sense of security?

Many people have placed their hopes on decentralized technologies like Ethereum.

We expect it to bring freedom, privacy, digital security, community self-organization, and we hope it can resist monopolies, fight censorship, and protect individuals from being controlled by power.

but the harsh reality is: in the past few years, Ethereum has not truly improved the lives of most people.

Its role outside the financial sector—truly concerning individual dignity and security—remains very limited.

V God speaks very frankly:

Meme coins on Solana, zero-sum games on various fast chains, have never been real threats.

What is truly unsettling is that in a world that is increasingly out of control, blockchain has still not become a protective umbrella for ordinary people.

but to reflect on those technologies that truly protect people:

Starlink provides communication freedom during network outages,

Locally running open-source large models do not rely on giants,

Signal achieves truly private chatting,

Community notes are against lies and manipulation.

They are the real shelter technologies—providing people with a sense of security and resilience in chaotic times.

Some say: Ethereum is enough to focus on finance.

But financial freedom does not solve surveillance, does not solve information manipulation, does not solve power oppression.

Talking only about money is too shallow and too powerless.

More importantly:

Ethereum has never been a tool for 'conquering the world.'

It is neither a government nor a company, and is not suitable for projecting power, competing for dominance, or reshaping the world.

Forcing it to 'change the world' will only lead to misuse.

So what is the true mission of Ethereum?

The answer is clear: to create a sanctuary in the digital world.

Not pursuing to overturn everything, not pursuing for everyone to be on-chain,

not pursuing to replace all organizations with DAOs, not pursuing to reconstruct society with blockchain.

What we truly need is depolarization, is reducing the risk of confrontation,

it is to prevent any party from gaining absolute control and to prevent ordinary people from falling into complete helplessness.

The value of Ethereum is to provide a non-owned, shared, neutral digital space:

a place where secure collaboration, secure transactions, secure asset ownership, and secure consensus can occur.

It does not stand on the side of any power, but only on the side of individuals.

So the future direction should not be to imitate Apple or Google,

We should not turn crypto into another flashy, profit-driven, competitive tech track.

but truly focusing on building a complete set of shelter technology ecology:

From wallets, applications, to AI interaction interfaces,

At the level of underlying protocols, operating systems, hardware, and physical security,

Building a stable, censorship-resistant, anti-monopoly, weaponizable digital island.

Technology has no stance, but users do.

We aim to serve those who truly need security, freedom, and are not controlled.

In this increasingly chaotic, monitored, and polarized world, provide ordinary people with a digital home where they can stand securely without being swallowed.

This is not a fantasy.

This is the most fundamental and greatest meaning of blockchain!
