Ambitious crypto enthusiast expects that in future Elon Musk and Vitalik Buterin will work together to improve Dogecoin
Crypto podcaster and Gokshtein Media founder David Gokshtein has shared with his followers that he hopes Ethereum co-founder and Twitter boss Elon Musk will join forces and start working together to upgrade Dogecoin.
He is sure that these two crypto space behemoths will not be working on Bitcoin together.
“I think we will all see Vitalik and Elon working together on DOGE”
Gokhshtein expects Musk and Buterin to join forces on Dogecoin. He was probably led to believe this because the co-founder of Ethereum was already making comments about the original Meme token, suggesting that it should switch to a proof-of-stake consensus algorithm.
As reported by U.Today, he suggested this a year ago, in September 2021, saying that the Ethereum code can easily be used for that transition. In September of this year, Vitalik again mentioned this at cryptocurrency summit Mainnet 2022, where he appeared not in person but using an Internet connection.
The switch to PoS is also mentioned on Dogecoin’s trailmap. In fact, Vitalik has the legal authority to make such suggestions not only as an observer and co-creator of Ethereum, but also as a member of the Dogecoin Foundation, which he joined in the summer of 2021. The transition to proof of stake is expected in mid-September this year.
Back then, his father Dmitry Buterin tweeted that Vitalik joining the foundation is certainly a good thing as it may help make DOGE “a better coin.”
In addition, Vitalik Buterin has donated large amounts of DOGE to the Dogecoin Foundation several times. The last time he did so was in November, when he sent him 20 million of these Mem coins.
As for Musk, he has already been making attempts to improve DOGE – or so he tweeted last year in May. Now that he has acquired Twitter, he is expected to integrate Dogecoin for micropayments on this social media platform by the DOGE army.
This Is Why Vitalik and Musk Won’t Work on Bitcoin, Per Gochstein
In a comment on his own tweet, David Gochstein confidently stated that Elon Musk would have no interest in working with Vitalik Buterin or anyone else on the flagship cryptocurrency bitcoin.
The reason for that, Gokhshtein believes, is that Musk wants to turn DOGE, which was created as a joke, into “something serious.”
