Ethereum is scaling.
Rollups, L2s, proto-danksharding.
The roadmap is alive, the tech is real.

But here’s the question nobody really answers:
As we scale, who are we leaving behind?

A $3 transaction on a rollup is better than $30 on mainnet.
But it’s still $3 too much for most of the world.

And behind every new efficiency upgrade,
there’s another layer of complexity added—
another reason for the average user to give up
and leave it to the pros, the whales, the insiders.

We solved congestion.
We reduced gas.
We improved throughput.

But in the process,
Ethereum is quietly becoming a chain for the few—
not the many.

This isn’t criticism.
It’s a reminder:

Scaling isn’t just technical.
It’s also social.
