 So I've known intellectually for quite a while that Ethereum is all about coordination I felt it in my bones that we have this programmable substrate for the ability to create with our ability to create our shared needs and I invited Justin to do this song with me because I want you to feel it Not just to think it Ethereum is all about coordination We are the ones that we've been waiting for and I'm so thrilled to be here with you today building this new world When we give each other lifts moving situation is our most important gift So this is gonna sound a little weird, but lately I've been falling asleep to the sounds of air traffic control I have the privilege of being a native English speaker and most air traffic control is is English And I don't know if you've ever listened to air traffic control. It's a strange thing But it's really quite an impressive feat of coordination around an extremely deadly possibility and It dawned on me the other day that there are two obvious questions that arise from this one assuming we on a medium timescale deprecate the monopolistic violent coordination inherent in State imperialism, how are we gonna do air traffic control literally air traffic control? Is anyone working on air traffic control on Ethereum and the other perhaps more obvious is What are the lessons from those existing highly coordinated activities? Obviously, ATC is just one example that can inform us We don't perhaps normally think of those as inspiration, but maybe we're kind of at a point where We're strong enough that it would be helpful maybe Oh, it's called Coordination when we give each other lift our improving situation is our most important gift All right, let's bring it down a little bit I want to talk about someone who's been really inspirational for me and has been foundational in their contributions to the Ethereum community They started ETH research and they created a blog post called Ethereum is a game-changing technology Way before I even discovered green-pilling or coordination technology and their name is Virgil Griffith Virgil has been an inspiration to many of us in the protocol research side He's been an inspiration to the Ethereum community and he's now in jail For coordinating with the wrong people and regardless of what you think of what he did and why he's in jail I think that we can all agree that Virgil is an inspiration to all of us And so Virgil if you're listening to this we miss you brother Thank you for seeding this vision of Ethereum as a game-changing technology and I hope that we realize that vision together Well, it's called Coordination when we give each other lift our improving situation is our most important gift I spend most of my days working on threshold crypto and occasionally zero knowledge proofs and I have for like four years now and during that time the solar punk movement and particularly an emphasis on coordination as a part of the gravity well of economic impact and Computational impact of Ethereum has arisen and it occurs to me that this is a good time to remind us that the cryptographic primitives that come from the ground come from the mathematics the inherent physics of the universe are our birthright as information age beings and They represent both a tool kit for coordination and also a reasoning for coordination It's called Coordination when we give each other lift Our improving situation is our most enduring gift I guess what we're saying the TLDR is that Ethereum is what we make of it. So let's coordinate it to make it something good Thank you
