For years, the consensus was: "Ethereum is secure but slow, so it's destined to be niche 'Digital Gold'."
We were wrong.
We were analyzing it as a Computer (bandwidth constraints). We should have been analyzing it as a Market (economic dynamics).
Here is the thesis for the next decade of Ethereum. 🧵
1. The End of the Command Economy
Web2 infrastructure (AWS, Azure) is a Command Economy. One central planner decides the hardware, the roadmap, and the pricing.
Ethereum is a Free Market.
It issues a global "Request for Proposal" (RFP) for every digital resource: Data, Proofs, Storage, Execution.
No central planner. Just pure, ruthless competition.
2. The Industrial Revolution of Compute
Because the market is permissionless, we get hyper-specialization (The Hayekian Shift).
Celestia/EigenDA racing to maximize throughput.
Prover Networks racing to drive ZK costs to zero.
L2s optimizing execution.
Just as Bitcoin incentives turned CPUs into ASICs (100M x efficiency), Ethereum is turning generic server farms into a specialized, hyper-efficient supply chain.
3. The "World Computer" is the Market
The legacy view: We pay for Trust with Scalability. The new reality: Trust is the prerequisite for Infinite Scalability.
By removing the "Silo Tax," we aren't building a better bank. We are building a marketplace for physics — compute and bandwidth — that will out-scale any centralized giant.
The World Computer isn't a server. It's the market.
And the market always wins.
