The Ethereum community disagrees with Vitalik Buterin on such topics as Dogecoin, immortality and politics
In a recent tweetEthereum founder Vitalik Buterin asked the community to name some of his opinions that they disagree with.
Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko fears that it may not be possible to ship a good solution for privacy in a timely fashion.
Hudson Jameson, a software engineer who joined the Ethereum Foundation in 2016, believes that Buterin’s avoidance of political topics was a mistake since everything becomes politicized.
Angel investor Mariano Conti disagrees with Buterin’s idea of extending the human lifespan. Conti says people should make peace with the fact that they only live on this planet for “a little while.”
Anthony Sassano, co-founder of Ethhub.io and prominent co-founder of Ethereum, believes it was a mistake to legitimize Dogecoin. While Sassano doesn’t believe cryptocurrency meme is a scam per se, it still sees Dogecoin as just a tool to separate retail investors from their money. As reported by U.Today, the Ethereum co-founder joined the board of the re-established Dogecoin Foundation last August.
In January, Buterin also shared some of the nastiest personal attacks directed at him.
Despite being at the forefront of the cryptocurrency revolution having co-founded the second-largest blockchain, Buterin regularly comes under fire. Most of its opponents dispute Ethereum’s scalability issues as well as frequent lags.
As reported by U.Today, Ethereum could finally transition to the proof-of-stake consensus algorithm as early as this August.
The cryptocurrency has performed very poorly in 2022 so far, but the long-awaited upgrade could serve as a much-needed bullish catalyst.
