In defense of Ethereum and its fatness: a discussion of ETH's value capture potential

but rather about how the blockchain trilemma (decentralization, security, and scalability) can be well resolved to achieve the desired value capture.

Same opinion here The trilemma is the most priority issue in blockchain.

@MaverickChow

If there is really such a case possible whereby I do not need ETH for anything both directly and indirectly, then I would like to know what is the rationale for allowing such state to be possible. And what outcome is expected from this.

Our team is making EVM-compatible Gas-Delegated model which is called stamina. The problem you mentioned could be solved at least to end users and this model would lead more usages.

@MaverickChow

The price of ETH cannot be limited to the cost of paying for gas alone.

This is correct. There are some implecations in ETH prices such as network value, security, or the level of economic incentive / disincentive, etc. But many people don’t try to understand the meant of ETH in Ethereum deeply, and they actually don’t need to
