Ethereum was supposed to be built as a layer 2 on TOP of Bitcoin. The only reason Vitalik started his own chain is because those fucking banker shill scum at Blockstream cut the OP_RETURN field size in half and refused to increase the blocksize. You are right, they deliberately forced the "altcoin" industry by crippling Bitcoin. They knew about Meltcalfe's Law, that the value of network goes up exponentially based on the number of nodes connected. By fragmenting crypto into thousands of siloed networks, they destroyed crypto's network effect. I saw this happen first hand from very early. It was extremely well planned and deliberate, including infiltration and take-over of the code repository on github, mass censorship and Project Mockingbird level psyops on the general public. Truly impressive if it wasn't so fucking evil. It was the Rothschilds and banking cartel pulling the strings of intelligence agencies to make it happen. Even Epstein and Maxwell were involved through their donations to the MIT digital currency initiative. Insidious.
