and now those same good samaritans that are funding developers start pushing a campaign to engineer a rollback of the blockchain Vitalik style.
There is one big difference here. Nobody thinks Ethereum is decentralized to begin with. Sure, when they hardforked, Ethereum Classic was born, but who gives a damn about Ethereum Classic?
Ethereum is a premined, centrally controlled cryptocurrency, which is now even worse with their Proof-of-Stake model, operated by Vitalik and his rich friends. Apples and oranges with bitcoin.
