CROPS is „the spirit of Ethereum in an acronym“ (Nick Almond), its a „freedom framework“ (Binji Pande).
Hätte ich nicht gedacht, dass 5G in der Berliner Innenstadt so schwankt:
Im Gebäude: Vodafone: 5,6 Mbps vs. o2: 160 Mbps (30x!) im Downstream. 2x besserer Upstream und 2-3x bessere Latenz.
Vom Balkon schafft o2 sogar 390 Mbps (und 2x mit Vodafones 160 Mbps).

CROPS is Ethereum‘s agenda to ossifying its moral ambition into infrastructure because it shall serve everyone, not just those who can capture it. We can learn from allies who also fight for privacy, the open internet and other protocols supplying digital rights to people.
While the Ethereum community fights against capture and for CROPS, we should know who are our allies, advocating for openness, plurality, interoperability and decentralisation, for open knowledge, for privacy for the weak and transparency for the powerful. For digital rights.
Net neutrality activists fighting for an open Internet got this painfully defeating the Facebook-only internet „Free Basics“ in the Global South, and the cypherpunks who built PGP and Tor when governments tried to outlaw encryption.
CROPS, too, is a fight for digital rights.
In crypto, Binance, Coinbase and others gate access, extract rents and vertically integrate, while DAO whales assert power through plutocracy. The protocol layer may be credibly neutral, but the whole socio-technical system needs to provide the end user with CROPS properties E2E.
