It seems like he is decrying decentralised versions of existing products in one closing paragraph, and then celebrates this (re data centres) right at the end. He makes this out to be his core point, but I’m not sure it’s coherent. He is saying that decentralised versions of existing products are bad except for data centres. Why?
He also says ‘blockchain is financial, and can enable new financial opportunities’. If he stuck to this, it would be coherent and agreeable. But he said that decentralised compute is good — so why not decentralised everything else? And thus you end up at Vitalik’s point of view, which is coherent and compelling, but leaving us no closer to considering whether it’s time has passed.

It’s time for an honest conversation about how GPT 5.1 is worse than 4o. Very clear that OpenAI has been fumbling around since then, and now is losing in enterprise, and is losing consumer, and is losing talent.
There are some people who thinking making things with AI is cheaper, tacky, and less. There are also people who resent others for their success and their agency.
I have recently realised these are the same people.
