Breaking ETH News – According to Evgeny Gaevoy, CEO of Wintermute, Ethereum leaders are forced to choose between promoting a socialist or capitalist economic system.

Gaevoy Says Leaders Contradict Themselves
According to Gaevoy, Vitalik Buterin, Hayden Adams, and “many others” in the Ethereum community are contradicting their desire to achieve maximum extractable value (MEV) while also claiming to want to create products that improve society and are ultimately “worthy.” Blockchain technology itself, according to Gaevoy, is “conductive to creating purely capitalist incentive-based systems.”

Moreover, he maintained that financialization is only acceptable when it benefits society, as in the cases of advancing art and innovation, bolstering open-source software, and enhancing healthcare.
