Ethereum is retracing the same path as the Internet and Linux: everyone refuses to yield to anyone else, and in the end, the neutral party takes it all.<\/a><\/p>\n

Introduction:<\/strong> Stripe wants everyone to use Tempo, JPMorgan wants to push its own chain, Circle wants to launch Arc – giants will never build on each other’s turf. This is Ethereum’s opportunity: when everyone refuses to submit to a single company’s infrastructure, the only option is a neutral layer that no one controls.<\/p>\n

Ethereum is replaying the history of the internet and Linux.<\/p>\n

“Stripe wants everything to happen on Tempo, but JPMorgan wants everything to happen on the JPMorgan chain, Circle wants everything to happen on Arc, and so on. They will never agree. The big players will never agree to build on another big player’s infrastructure. That’s why Ethereum is the only option. It is the only way forward \u2013 as neutral infrastructure that everyone can accept.”<\/p>\n

In 1995, most of the tech elite were convinced the internet would lose to proprietary corporate networks. They were wrong, and today’s critics of Ethereum are likely making a similar mistake for analogous reasons. The most famous example is Bill Gates, who predicted in his book *The Road Ahead* that the future of digital commerce would run not on the open internet, but on proprietary networks owned by companies like Microsoft and Oracle. This was the consensus. As a16z co-founder Ben Horowitz wrote, “Almost no one thought the internet would have a major impact outside of the scientific community \u2013 least of all the most important tech industry leaders who were busy building proprietary alternatives.” The same thing happened to Linux. Throughout the late 1990s, Sun Microsystems dominated the high-end Unix server market, but by the early 2000s, it had lost most of that business to open-source Linux running on cheap commodity hardware.<\/p>\n

\n

The same pattern is playing out today in financial infrastructure. Perceiving both opportunity and threat, enterprises are racing to build proprietary blockchains within their own controlled walled gardens. For a while,…<\/p>\n
