The Ethereum Foundation contributor, Josh Stark, has emphasized Ethereum's "hardness" as its defining quality in the digital economy, highlighting its predictability and immutability for decentralized applications. While Ethereum's value against Bitcoin has hit its lowest point in 1,285 days, Stark argues that Ethereum's "hardness" sets it apart from other blockchains and traditional institutions. He explains that this quality makes Ethereum a resilient foundation, offering stability and immutability that few other blockchains or institutions can match. Ethereum's borderless accessibility enables individuals and businesses to interact with its network, providing an alternative to traditional systems that are often constrained by regional limitations or political shifts. Stark envisions a "market for hardness" where users can choose between decentralized systems and traditional institutions depending on their needs. He believes that the development of layer-2 blockchains on Ethereum will make this "hardness" more accessible and support a wider range of applications.
