in a recent askme anything session on
0:03
February 20th vitalik butterin didn't
0:06
hold back when asked about his
0:08
frustrations with the crypto industry he
0:10
shared a candid perspective that many
0:12
insiders are too afraid to voice vitalik
0:15
expressed disappointment over the
0:16
criticism that ethereum is bad and
0:18
intolerant simply because it doesn't
0:21
Embrace blockchain-based casinos he
0:23
argued that while other chains claimed
0:25
to be more open by accepting every
0:27
application even gambling there approach
0:30
might compromise the ethical framework
0:32
that ethereum has long championed this
0:34
isn't just about technology it's about
0:36
the core values that Define a community
0:39
imagine a world where every new
0:41
application is accepted without a second
0:43
thought where commercial interests blur
0:45
the line between Innovation and
0:47
exploitation vitalik fears that if this
0:50
trend continues the entire Spirit of
0:52
decentralization could be overshadowed
0:54
by profit-driven models perhaps the most
0:57
disappointing thing for me recently was
0:59
when someone said that ethereum is bad
1:01
and intolerant because we don't respect
1:03
the casinos on the blockchain enough
1:06
butterin words cut straight to the heart
1:08
of the matter his comment reveals a
1:10
deeper concern that the crypto industry
1:12
might be trading its high-minded ideals
1:14
for quick wins and superficial
1:16
inclusivity he warns that if we continue
1:19
down this path valuing every application
1:21
regardless of its ethical implications
1:24
we risk losing what made the blockchain
1:26
revolution so promising in the first
1:28
place vitalic challenges us to question
1:31
are we sacrificing our principles for
1:33
the sake of Rapid adoption and Market
1:35
competition for vitalic it's not simply
1:38
a matter of accepting or rejecting a
1:40
particular type of application it's
1:42
about preserving the Integrity of the
1:44
technology and the community that stands
1:46
behind it his stance calls for a
1:48
critical reassessment of what values we
1:51
want to uphold in this rapidly evolving
1:53
digital Frontier despite the online
1:55
noise butan finds solace in personal
1:58
interactions he Rec calls that
2:00
face-to-face meetings and genuine
2:02
conversations with fellow crypto
2:03
enthusiasts have reaffirmed his belief
2:06
in ethereum's core values in these
2:08
interactions he sees a community that
2:10
isn't driven by sensationalism or profit
2:13
at any cost instead ethereum supporters
2:16
are passionate about creating a
2:18
decentralized future that serves broader
2:20
more altruistic purposes beran's
2:23
commitment to his community is
2:25
unwavering he emphasizes that abandoning
2:27
these principles isn't an option rather
2:30
he calls on every member of the ethereum
2:32
ecosystem to collaborate debate and help
2:35
shape the future of the blockchain space
2:37
one that doesn't compromise on its
2:39
ethics in addition to his critique of
2:41
blockchain gambling beran's recent
2:43
comments come at a time of significant
2:45
change within the ethereum foundation
2:47
itself the foundation which once relied
2:50
on selling ether to fund its operations
2:53
faced heavy criticism from community
2:55
members on January 20th questions were
2:58
raised about the ethics of liquid ating
3:00
Assets in a volatile Market an action
3:02
some argued undermined the very
3:04
decentralized principles ethereum was
3:06
built upon in response the foundation
3:09
made a bold move on February 13th they
3:12
allocated 45,000 eth worth roughly $120
3:16
million into leading defy platforms like
3:19
a spark and compound this strategic
3:22
pivot was met with widespread Applause
3:24
from the community seen as a positive
3:26
step towards sustainable and ethical
3:28
Financial practices
3:30
this isn't just about numbers or Market

strategies it's about reinvesting in a

future where decentralized Finance can
3:36
flourish without compromising on core
3:39
values the foundation is even exploring
3:41
staking options and actively seeking

Community input to chart its next steps
3:46
this Evolution signals a move towards a
3:48
more value-driven ecosystem where each
3:51
decision is weighed not only on economic
3:53
grounds but also on its ethical
3:55
implications as we look to the Future
3:58
the debate that vitalic but has sparked
4:00
is more than just about casinos or
4:02
funding mechanisms it's a conversation
4:04
about what we want the crypto space to
4:06
represent do we want a world driven
4:08
solely by profit and fleeting Trends or
4:11
can we build an ecosystem that values
4:13
transparency responsibility and
4:16
Community beran's call to action is
4:18
clear the blockchain community must come
4:20
together debate these tough questions
4:23
and steer the technology towards a more
4:25
ethical Horizon his concerns remind us
4:27
that Innovation should not come at the
4:29
cost of our values every new application
4:32
every funding decision should be guided
4:34
by a commitment to a better more
4:36
inclusive future vitalic butterin stance
