PANews reported on January 8th that Vitalik Buterin published an article on the X platform stating that Ethereum can be compared to BitTorrent or Linux: the former represents both decentralization and scalability, while the latter is a model of open source, public trust, and widespread application. He emphasized that Ethereum L1 should become the financial, identity, and governance foundation for individuals and organizations seeking autonomy, unleashing the network's full potential without relying on intermediaries, and pointed out that enterprises' need for open, censorship-resistant systems is highly consistent with "trust minimization."
