Vitalik Buterin Wants to Make Ethereum as Simple as Bitcoin

Ethereum’s co-founder drops a bombshell ambition—paring down the world’s second-largest blockchain to match Bitcoin’s minimalist elegance. The move could shake DeFi’s house of cards.

Why it matters: Complexity breeds vulnerabilities. Buterin’s push for ’protocol simplification’ targets Ethereum’s notorious technical debt—just as institutional money starts treating crypto like a real asset class (bless their spreadsheet-loving hearts).

The catch? Dismantling years of smart contract infrastructure without collapsing $40B in TVL would make a Fed pivot look easy. One hedge fund quant whispers: ’They’ll need more than devcon magic to pull this off.’
