In this video, I discuss a thought experiment in which Ethereum undergoes a contentious hard fork in the context of attempted OFAC censorship.

I demonstrate that large regulated entities like Circle, Coinbase, Kraken, etc would probably all side with the OFAC-compliant side of the fork, thus eviscerating the more cypherpunky side of the fork.

What this suggests is that DeFi and its main collateral USDC (combined with Ethereum's move to proof of stake) make it highly likely that Ethereum eventually succumbs to government capture and censorship.
