some of you won't want to read this, but what keeps Ethereum and Bitcoin relevant
is that they have highly ideologically-motivated roots, with intelligent and capable adherents, who come off to many as "cult members" because they have such faith in a stringent philosophy around the core principles which power the chain
they are not tourists. they are consistent, over years and decades
if your chain doesn't have ideological adherents, then it's not important. it will never be important
you're participating in a database which will eventually be replaced by a faster database
public blockchains are meant to have core principles and ultimately derive relevance from the social consensus they create based on those principles. they're meant to stand forever
