CoinVoice has learned that Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform stating that the original intention of Ethereum’s creation was not to improve financial efficiency or application convenience, but to liberate users.

Vitalik Buterin (vitalik.eth) pointed out that while efficiency and convenience are valuable, Ethereum’s core competitiveness lies in resilience. Resilience is not about pursuing higher returns, but about minimizing the risk of 100% asset loss, ensuring the network remains stable in extreme situations such as developer disappearance, platform bans, or network wars.

Vitalik Buterin emphasized that resilience equals sovereignty, aiming to reduce vulnerability to external dependencies, making users equal participants rather than corporate dependents. The genes of Web2 technology are not suitable for building resilient systems, and the resilience of the financial industry is too one-sided. Ethereum’s primary goal is to provide a decentralized, permissionless, and resilient blockchain space, and to achieve spatial sufficiency on this basis.
