Highlight Clip Vitalik: High Fees Stifled the First Wave of Crypto Payment Adoption Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin recalled his trip to Argentina, noting that locals widely relied on free and instant internal Binance transfers. He argued that high fees killed the early exploration of decentralized payments. However, with Ethereum L2 fees dropping below one cent and Optimism and Arbitrum reaching the Stage 1 security milestone, scaling solutions are finally affordable. He also pointed out that the original rollup‑centric scaling approach is being revised. As L1 itself accelerates its scaling, the future lies in the synergistic development of L1 and L2, meaning L2s will need to provide differentiated value such as privacy or application‑specific features.
