Ethereum's development path has been somewhat bumpy. Vitalik recently reflected on his original intentions in 2014, admitting that over the past few years, the initial vision of decentralization has indeed been diluted—various narrative hotspots and conceptual themes have taken turns, overshadowing focus on core issues. From DeFi to NFTs and now to AI narratives, projects and capital are chasing the trends, but fundamentally, it still comes down to whether blockchain can truly achieve decentralization. He seems to be saying that this wave of decentralization revival is about to arrive.

Well said, chasing the hot trend until you forget your original intention, and then suddenly waking up? This routine has been played over and over again in the crypto circle. --- V God is probably giving everyone a warning, but it feels a bit late. --- Decentralization revival? I feel like it's still just a concept being sold... --- DeFi, NFT, AI, coming one after another to cut a wave, but where is the true decentralization? --- It's a good awakening, but the question is how to solve it and what’s the next step? --- This is called "we always stick to our original intention," right? Haha. --- Getting back to the fundamental issue is correct, but can it really be achieved? Don’t fall into another new narrative. --- The inherent pursuit of profit in capital cannot be changed; don’t expect a revival. --- Actually, it’s just saying that the technology itself is fine, but human greed has overshadowed faith. --- Wait, this wave of decentralization revival might not be the next hot trend again?

Chasing the hot trend until dizzy, but still not fully doing what should be done
