Written by: Oliver, Mars Finance Data can sometimes be misleading, especially when the base number is extremely small. But the trends behind the data never lie. On December 4, within 24 hours after the Ethereum Fusaka upgrade officially went live, a signal appeared on-chain that was enough to panic outsiders and provoke deep thought among insiders: the Blob Base Fee soared from the original 1 wei straight up to around 15 million wei, with the peak once approaching 20 million wei. A surge of 15 million times. In traditional financial markets, such a dramatic increase in costs would typically signal hyperinflation or system collapse.

Currently, every on-chain user interaction, asset allocation, payroll flow, and even social relationship is exposed in a permanent, immutable public panopticon. This "glass house" mode of existence not only infringes on individual sovereignty but also excludes the vast majority of institutional capital due to the lack of protection for trade secrets. The year 2025 marks a decisive turning point in industry consensus. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has explicitly stated that "privacy is not a feature, but a hygiene factor," defining it as the foundation of freedom and a necessary condition for social order. Just as the internet evolved from plaintext transmis

Inversion founder Santiago Santos and Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi engaged in a heated debate over L1 valuations. Santiago claimed that L1s are overvalued, noting that Ethereum's market cap of $380 billion is far less impressive than Amazon's during the dotcom bubble of the 1990s. Haseeb countered that Ethereum is not a company, but rather a nation-level infrastructure.
