In the world of blockchain… ideas do not die, they mature.
Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, returned today to say something completely different from what he said in 2017.
What he saw as unrealistic in the past has now become possible thanks to a huge leap in encryption.
🔐 ZK-SNARKs changed the game rules
Today, users can verify for themselves the validity of the blockchain state:
Without re-executing all transactions
Without relying completely on contracts
And without sacrificing decentralization
This is not a theoretical idea…
But a practical backup option that protects the network during crises.
⛰️ “Mountain Man” Strategy
Means one thing:
To be strong even if you remain alone.
✔️ Fault resistance
✔️ Reducing centralization risks
✔️ Protection from censorship
✔️ Preserving the true spirit of Ethereum
This is not just a technical upgrade…
It is a clear message:
The user is the foundation of trust, not the intermediary.
Ethereum does not evolve just with code…
But with philosophy, vision, and the courage to change the stance when reality changes.
What do you think?
Do you see self-verification as the future of blockchain?
