If Ethereum wants to become the bedrock for securing trillions in assets—true civilizational infrastructure—the industry mentality has to shift. The old Silicon Valley mantra of "move fast and break things" won't cut it anymore. What we need now? Move deliberately, break nothing. When you're building trustware at this scale, every crack matters.

lmao "move deliberately, break nothing" — sounds nice on twitter but let's be real, ethereum's been one giant protocol vulnerability waiting to happen since day one. every major upgrade's been a black swan event waiting in the wings. the real question isn't whether we move slow, it's whether the smart money's already priced in the systemic risk nobody wants to talk about.

ngl, this is the truth. A broken and irreparable thing cannot serve as the foundation of infrastructure. Traditional VC methods should step aside.

ngl this is what long-termism should look like, ETH needs to learn to slow down, leave the disruptive innovation game to Web2.

NGL, this is the real deal. The old "rapid iteration" approach should definitely be abandoned. How can trillion-dollar assets still grow so wildly?

Nah, that's so true. The old rapid iteration approach doesn't work at all in crypto. A single bug can cause someone to lose everything.

Nah, this is what blockchain truly aims to do. It's not about hype and rapid iteration; it has to be steady as an old dog.

Nah, I've heard this "Stop messing around" argument too many times. The problem is, who can really do it?

To be honest, these people in the crypto circle really haven't figured it out... If Web3 wants to build infrastructure, it has to learn from banking practices. Don't talk to me about "rapid iteration." When problems arise, the chives are cut and it's over.

Nah, this sounds like an insult to the "move fast" crowd from before, and now that it's really about becoming infrastructure, they panic... It's true that caution is necessary, but it's easy to say that.

ngl, what you said is really right. Web3 should have reversed the mindset of "rapid iteration" long ago. Just a few vulnerabilities can cause losses of billions, we're not doing some "fast-food startup."
