I still stand behind everything I said regardless of the technology that ends up accomplishing it. I chose to mention Ethereum because I think it has the best shot. If Ethereum fails, I'll be looking for the next best viable option for a decentralized internet.

I thought about adding the disclaimer and chose against it. Maybe I chose wrong. I sort of see your point about conflict of interest, but that line of thinking also disqualifies almost all of the people who are most intimately familiar with the technology.

If you're skeptical, lets have a conversation about it. I regularly describe my position as skeptically optimistic about Ethereum's future success.
