Ethereum should be free $ETH is not a technological innovation; ETH is a cafeteria meal ticket. All technological innovations by humanity are aimed at reducing prices. The belief that technological innovation will increase prices is a misunderstanding of the concept. All technological innovations come with price reductions. If Ethereum is a technological innovation, then it must also come with price reductions. How could ETH increase in price? The current increase in ETH has only one reason: the consensus of fools is still a consensus. The consensus of fools will break apart due to repeated incidents. Some people might say that ETH can be understood as a stock. If ETH were the stock of the Ethereum company, then indeed, due to the technological innovations of Ethereum, as more and more people use it, the profits of the Ethereum company would increase, and its stock would rise. However, ETH is not the stock of the Ethereum company. It is a meal ticket for using Ethereum technology. ETH is not a stock; it is a meal ticket. It is impossible for a cafeteria to have meal tickets that become more expensive while more and more people go to eat. This is a paradox. If it is expected that ETH will increase in price, then no one would consume ETH to use Ethereum. People would keep ETH to appreciate its value. If no one uses the Ethereum network, then how could the number of users of the Ethereum network increase? Such a simple and obvious contradiction is surprisingly overlooked by people, so ETH is bound to encounter problems. After a few more incidents, the consensus of fools will break apart.
