Vitalik deeply disrespects uncompetitive markets (clearing prices established by firms/buyers/sellers making voluntary transactions). At its core, ETH is a protest of the software market. It is designed to compete away corporate rents by commoditizing code, data and infra by open sourcing the whole stack. While I often disagree with his disrespect of market pricing and affinity for unproven social engineering schemes, I deeply respect what he's built and regret to inform fellow market enjoyors that: while you may not like it, this is what peak performance looks like. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
