PANews reported on May 3 that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published an article titled "Simplifying the L1", in which he pointed out that one of the biggest advantages of Bitcoin is that its protocol is very simple. Historically, Ethereum has often failed to do this (sometimes due to personal considerations), resulting in excessive development spending, various security risks, and an isolated R&D culture.
