Bitcoin.com News reports that Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, suggests the network should be viewed primarily as a Store of Value (SoV). He argues that its current configuration supports this narrative better than functioning as a fee-burning token. Buterin warns that to maintain the latter, Ethereum would need to adopt corporate-like behaviors, which could compromise its decentralized nature.
