BlockBeats News, January 8 — Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin wrote an article comparing Ethereum’s vision and positioning. Ethereum is similar to BitTorrent (a peer-to-peer network), combining decentralization with large-scale applications. Ethereum’s goal is to do the same but with the addition of a consensus mechanism. Ethereum is also akin to the Linux operating system. Linux is free, open-source software that never compromises, relied upon silently by billions of people and enterprises worldwide, and even frequently used by governments. Many Linux-based operating systems pursue large-scale adoption, as well as highly pure, minimalist, and technically elegant distributions (like Arch), focusing on empowering users rather than comfort.
We must ensure that Ethereum L1 serves as a home for finance (ultimately including identity, social, governance, etc.), providing those seeking higher autonomy—individuals and organizations—with direct access to the full power of the network, without relying on intermediaries. At the same time, the Linux example proves that providing value to large populations is compatible, and can even be loved and trusted by global enterprises.
