We have failed Ethereum as a community. Make Ethereum great again. Make Ethereum unite again. Some thoughts after token2049, ethglobal and breakpoint: I'm kinda disappointed in us as a community on how the level and quality of events have degraded over the years. This train of thoughts was ignited by Solana's Breakpoint. Last 2 days, while i was attending and rushing to multiple events and talking to same people or maybe some new, solana community was in one single building enjoying one of the most immersive experience of events. No one, literally no one who attended Breakpoint had anything bad to say. Everything was so organized, so interactive, and so vibe-y. Every single speaking session had 80% seats filled while ethereum side events had empty chairs. idc what u say about solana, but they have succeeded into building one of the best community and events and it's because it doesnt have 100s of companies fighting each other for attention. One chain. One community. One event. You know the issues with token/ethcc/ethdenver? If any of these events are from 9am-6pm, you all mfers had to organise events during same dates at the same time. If im at altlayer's rollup day, i also will be going to xyz event in 2 hours. There was NOTHING like this for solana. If Breakpoint is from 9am-5pm, there are NOO fkn side events on the same date and same time. (A few parties later in the night tho) I think this is where we have lost to Solana. All companies are fighting so much against each other that we are not able to efficiently capture the attention and bring our own community together. What's the solution? Be it Devcon or a new event, please understand the fact that you do not have to host your own side event just for brand building and brand awareness. Come together and host one big conference for 3 days. All things in there. Make it vibes. Make it fun. Make it interactive. Do whatever, but if the Eth community and orgs keep going on like this in terms of events, there will be a real exhaustion mentally and financially on the teams. You dont need to host multiple parties or side events, you just need to do some things very very efficiently. Im happy to help and work with teams and projects if someone thinks it's a great idea, but ik y'all mfers wont learn and host 400+ side events at Devcon (3-4 popup city, 7 hackerhouses already confirmed lmao) So yea, guess we'll never learn no matter how many events.
