tldr; Vitalik Buterin warns that Ethereum’s increasing complexity threatens its long-term sustainability, including its security, decentralization, and trustlessness. He advocates for prioritizing simplicity in protocol development, discouraging excessive feature additions that lead to ‘bloat.’ Buterin proposes a ‘garbage collection’ approach to streamline Ethereum, reduce code complexity, and ensure backward compatibility, aiming to create a decentralized system capable of lasting 100 years.

What I love about the statement is… When people said similar stuff years ago, they got assaulted with insults, but now that Vitalik says it, it’s now SO obvious and people agree. Crypto is such a joke at this point.

Rather than read the one single sentence that ‘CryptoPotato’ decided to quote and then create a clickbait article around, you could always read the entire piece that Vitalik posted to Reddit…
But why look at the actual thing that someone wrote when you can just skim a 3rd hand opinion of a small part of it I suppose…?

This is the biggest WELL DUUHHHHH moment ever…. dude ofcourse the space being the opposite of user friendly is gna get in the way of it staying relevant and keep on existing.
Hasn’t this been the “age old problem” the crypto space has in general?
For me its Polkadot, i’m heavily invested in the ecosystem and think the tech is ahead of the rest (my oppinion ofcourse), but jesus christ is it dogshit to use, no wonder all it does is fall to the floor, it’s time crypto becomes user friendly, like actually user friendly for the average joe.

That’s true, simplicity will always prevail…
