Ethereum Contributor Warns ETH Funding Could Hit a Crisis in 3–9 Months Ethereum is trying to scale, decentralize and prepare for the next cycle, while BTC$BTC keeps dominating the macro narrative. But now Ethereum has a different problem to watch: who actually funds the people building it?

So the question now is pretty clear: is this just a temporary funding gap, or the moment Ethereum has to build a new system for supporting its own core developers? #ETH #ETHBlockchain #Macro Insights#
