@Crypto_Alchemy Strong take. I respect the vision but let’s separate narrative from execution.
$ETH Ethereum absolutely has the ideological edge when it comes to decentralised AI. The idea of local AI models + zk proofs + on-chain verification is powerful. If AI agents are going to transact autonomously, they need a neutral settlement layer. Ethereum is still the most credible candidate for that role. Security, developer depth, and battle-tested infrastructure matter long term.
But here’s the uncomfortable part.
Vision doesn’t automatically win markets.
Right now liquidity is fragmenting. Users chase speed and low fees. Solana doubling Ethereum’s DEX trades in January isn’t just a stat it reflects where attention flows. Builders follow activity. Activity follows UX. UX follows cost and speed.
Ethereum’s roadmap is long-term optimal. Rollups, modularity, data availability layers it’s intellectually strong. But retail doesn’t care about intellectual purity. They care about smooth experience.
So the real question isn’t “Can Ethereum survive?”
It’s: Can Ethereum scale economically fast enough while keeping its decentralisation promise ?
Because if AI agents need micro-transactions at massive scale, even small friction becomes a bottleneck.
My view ? Ethereum doesn’t need to “win everything.” It just needs to remain the trust layer. Just like TCP/IP isn’t flashy but runs the internet, Ethereum could become the base settlement for AI economies while faster chains handle execution.
But that only works if ETH retains strong economic gravity staking demand, meaningful fee capture, real usage. Without that, the AI narrative becomes philosophical instead of financial.
Big respect to the long-term thesis.
But markets reward execution, not intention.
Curious - do you think Ethereum’s modular approach is its biggest strength… or its biggest weakness right now ?
