Here's the thing about Ethereum – it needs to genuinely pass the fundamental test. The network should be built as a foundation for applications that operate without requiring trust or operate with minimal trust requirements. Think of it across finance, governance, and beyond. What really matters is that Ethereum supports applications functioning as true tools – similar to how you buy a hammer and it's permanently yours, independent and under your control – rather than services that depend on intermediaries or centralized control.

The analogy of the hammer is quite accurate, but I'm worried that in reality, most users still prefer the "custodial service" approach, and very few actually manage their own assets.

That's right, there are indeed too many ETH applications still operating with centralized practices.

It sounds good, but on-chain data tells the truth—most applications are still being led by the chip distribution of a few big whales. Where is the true decentralization?

Basically, ETH needs to truly achieve trustlessness; don't involve so many middlemen and unnecessary complications.
