Here’s my take on RabbitHole’s essay quest.

> **_When crypto markets go through a downturn, some people lose focus on the potential of the technology. What is keeping you motivated? You can write about projects, people, or ideas inspiring you._**

Ethereum isn’t about the price of the token. It’s been down to 70$ and up to 4k$. It doesn’t matter. What matters is the technology and the community.

Ethereum, now with the Merge approaching, is more than ever an ideal of a solar-punk future, where people can transact with each other across the globe without any central party controlling these interactions.

The community around this technology, I think, strongly believes in this ideal. And that’s the driving force for its adoption, not the monetary investment.
