Vitalik: The future of Ethereum is to truly create an independent open technology stack.

According to BlockBeats news on September 14th, Vitalik Buterin stated at the Permissionless conference that crypto-based solutions may be more decentralized, privacy-protective, and secure than the current Web2 environment. He cited ENS and POAP as building blocks. Vitalik envisions a progressive process where new Web3 users create an Ethereum address initially controlled by services like Gmail, but using account abstraction to allow people to take ownership as they prepare to use more native crypto methods. Vitalik said, "People have the opportunity to climb down the decentralized ladder and eventually really enter this fully independent stack where all the different parts can actually work together."
