In 2026, can Ethereum maintain its position as the "world computer"?

Vitalik Buterin's recent insights have sparked industry reflection. He pointed out that the challenges Ethereum currently faces are far more complex than imagined — balancing decentralization principles with technological scalability is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain.

The key question is in front of us: as the ecosystem continues to grow, can $ETH continue to uphold its original decentralization promise? This is not only a technical issue but also a matter of ideology.

Vitalik emphasizes that the coming year is crucial for Ethereum. Scalability bottlenecks, privacy protection, on-chain governance mechanisms — these core issues must be addressed one by one. Otherwise, Ethereum may lose its opportunity to become the foundational infrastructure of global blockchain.

Investors are watching, developers are contemplating, and the community is waiting. Whether 2026 will be a turning point or a watershed for Ethereum largely depends on whether these technical issues can be truly resolved. Missing this window could lead to even greater competitive pressure in the future.

Now it feels like everyone is betting on V's next move. Can it really be solved? --- Scalability, privacy, governance—none can be missing... How much pressure does that put on us? --- Honestly, if we can really turn things around in 2026, I might believe in Ethereum one more time. --- Why does it feel like these problems should have been solved long ago, and now we're just starting to worry? --- Decentralization vs. performance—this dilemma will never be resolved, right? --- I've heard too much about the window period, but in the end, there’s not much movement. --- V has spoken out, and the community is probably going to have a crazy discussion again. --- Don’t make it sound so dramatic; it’s just about whether the technology can keep up. It’s not that mysterious. --- It seems like competitors aren’t just sitting around either. Worrying alone is useless.

Talking about decentralization again, but in reality... Layer 2 has emerged, greatly improving scalability. I don't see any major issues.

Haha, Vitalik is again making empty promises. The debate between decentralization and scalability has been a mess for a long time. By the way, can they really crack it in a year? I doubt it. Actually, Sol has already secretly won. Decentralization is an ideal, but practicality is what matters. Why are these people so anxious? Anyway, I'll just watch passively for now. 2026 is still a long way off, and ETH definitely won't die soon. There are too many pitfalls, and the next "key year" is still unknown. I think the problem isn't technology, but that they think too much. They keep saying "must crack it," but when will it actually happen? I understand Vitalik's concerns, but the market may not agree. But on the other hand, if ETH really crashes, that would be truly dramatic. This kind of grand narrative is mostly for listening; money still flows with liquidity.

Listen up, Vitalik is trash-talking his own... I've heard this rhetoric for three years now. Is it really gambling or is he just getting anxious?

ngl vitalik's been reading too much into the philosophical stuff when what really matters is just... can eth actually scale without becoming solana 2.0? that's the real divergence nobody wants to admit
