In this video, I discuss how Ethereum continues to betray cypherpunk ideals around freedom and privacy, including the latest ConsenSys policy change that now allows Infura nodes to log users' IP addresses and connect them with Ethereum addresses whenever they make a transaction using Metamask.

In addition, Ethereum validators continue to actively enforce US government OFAC censorship with 75-80% of blocks.

This is what happens when running your own node is not part of your crypto's culture-- you end up outsourcing all privacy to large corporations like ConsenSys.

The dumpster fire that is Ethereum continues to burn brighter and brighter.
