Ethereum Was Never Bitcoin’s Enemy—Just a Radical Alternative, Says Co-Founder Di Iorio

Anthony Di Iorio slams the ’crypto tribalism’ narrative—ETH wasn’t built to dethrone BTC, but to rewrite the rules entirely.

The ’Complement, Not Competitor’ Doctrine

Wall Street’s Still Confused

Five years post-Merge and institutional investors still can’t decide if ETH is a security, commodity, or existential threat to their fee-extraction models. Meanwhile, the network processes $12B daily like it’s nothing.

Funny how the ’alternative’ now dwarfs most traditional finance rails—while Bitcoin hodlers still argue about pizza purchases from 2010.
