Vitalik: It was no coincidence that Luna was not built on Ethereum On November 20, 2022, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin said in an interview that crypto communities should refuse to foster environments that enable harmful behavior. He criticized the Bitcoin community for appearing to unconditionally support powerful figures who back Bitcoin, citing El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele and the country's top-down, coercive push for Bitcoin adoption as an example. Vitalik also noted that Luna not being built on Ethereum was not accidental. While acknowledging that open systems cannot fully prevent malicious activity, he urged communities to actively support what is right and oppose what is wrong. Source：

Vitalik on What Cypherpunk Is On January 27, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated at the ETH ChiangMai togETHer Tuesday event that the cypherpunk movement emerged as early as the 1980s and 1990s, initially focusing on privacy-preserving technologies such as digital cash and encrypted communications, with the goal of building an internet that better protects individual privacy and freedom while resisting censorship. Entering the 2000s, the emergence of Bitcoin was seen as an important milestone in this long-term exploration, helping to shape the cryptocurrency sector; subsequently, Ethereum further expanded blockchain application scenarios on the foundation laid by Bitcoin, accelerating the development of the broader blockchain ecosystem.

Vitalik Buterin: The crypto ecosystem must not go down the path of OpenAI（ARCHIVE FOOTAGE ） On July 3, 2025, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated in an EthCC speech video that the crypto industry must not repeat the mistakes of OpenAI, which first gave up openness for safety, and then sacrificed safety for rapid growth. He believes that many projects in Web1, Web2, and the crypto space eventually move towards corporatization because they become driven by financial incentives and social connections once they form entities. Vitalik Buterin stated that the ecosystem should establish more diverse funding and reward models, ensuring that core principles like open source, privacy, and censorship resistance are strictly taken into account alongside commercial success.

Vitalik: Trump Becoming the "Coin King" Is a Complete Failure Case failure On February 3, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin said in a conversation with P2P Foundation founder Michel Bauwens at the 2026 Ethereum Chiang Mai Future Summit that 2025 was a very difficult year. Vitalik noted that the Trump meme coin, which was theoretically the "King of Coins," ultimately crashed 95%, becoming a complete failure. This has led the industry to rethink what role cryptocurrency plays in the world. Facing the rise of AI, SpaceX's Starship, and biotechnology, Vitalik believes that if crypto relies only on being cool high tech, it will face strong competition and must instead represent social and even political issues. He emphasized that the industry should explore a model of modernity that does not concentrate power in a few tech hubs amid growing distrust. Source：ETHChiangmai

Vitalik Buterin: FTX is a counterexample opposed to Ethereum's principles. On November 17 at Devconnect ARG, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin used FTX as an example to illustrate the core difference between centralized "companies" and decentralized "communities." FTX relied on blind trust and collapsed; Ethereum replaces such trust with a system where anyone can verify. It shifts the model from "I build for you" to "we build together," serving no single entity but acting as a credibly neutral global network that protects freedom and creativity for all. Source：

Former progressive Xaviaer DuRousseau said his shift to conservatism began after he questioned the finances of Black Lives Matter — and grew frustrated with what he viewed as a lack of transparency and support for victims' families.

Vitalik: The Blockchain Trilemma Is Being Solved On January 27, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated at the ETH ChiangMai togETHer Tuesday event that the long-held "blockchain trilemma" of scalability, consensus, and decentralization is not a mathematical theorem, but rather an engineering, stage-dependent challenge. With the advancement of technologies such as zk-SNARKs and PeerDAS at both the computation and data layers, Ethereum is attempting to achieve higher system capacity while maintaining strong consensus. These approaches are gradually being implemented on Ethereum, though further time is needed to validate their security and maturity. Source:

This piece of history will interest you. Not many people know this but 419 scams started in Nigeria as far back as 1920. Yes. As far back as 100years ago. It was more and more popular with time that in the 70s-90s there was a lot of 419 scams and as osuofia said in this song, people sold airports and stadiums 😂 of course it was scams. Infact a nigerian scammer once even sold an imaginary airport to a Brazilian bank for 242million DOLLARS yes. 😂 it’s a true life story. You can Google it. His name is Emmanuel Nwude. Long before yahoo yahoo became a thing in the early 2,000s; the 419 scam was a far more elaborate fraud. Infact the name 419 came from the section 419 of the constitution that deals with fraud 😂 this is also a true historical fact. Just enjoy this song from osuofia the legendary king of all benefit boys 😂 If you remember this song, pls retweet.

#Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin explains why Ethereum is an unregistered security and therefore illegal in the United States. SEC and Gary Gensler, are you paying attention? Vitalik explains here on March 3, 2014, at a #Bitcoin conference in Texas that he will be headquartering Ethereum in Zug, Switzerland in order to evade securities law of the United States. Approximately 70% of Ethereum's supply was given or sold to Ethereum's founders and a few insider investors before Ethereum was made available to the public in an Initial Coin Offering. Vitalik explains here that Ethereum is a business. He is making an investment pitch to the audience. This is the definition of a security. #Bitcoin is the only crypto asset that has been deemed a true commodity by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). #BTC

Vitalik Buterin: Why Consortium Blockchains Have Almost Completely Failed Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin vitalik.eth declared the original vision of consortium blockchains a failure in a July 20, 2024 Arbitrum video. He noted that these private chains inherit the drawbacks of both centralized and decentralized systems, resulting in cartel-like structures devoid of real openness or privacy. As a viable alternative, Buterin proposed retrofitting existing centralized servers with cryptographic scaffolding—anchoring proofs and Merkle roots on-chain to enhance security without overhauling current infrastructure.

This gotta be the funniest shit I've seen in a while. This dude works at a bank. He thinks crypto is a scam and no one can make money in it. Yesterday, he launched a PF coin called 'failcoin' to prove to everyone crypto is a scam and the coin would fail. After a couple minutes of it not doing anything, he sold, saying "I told you so." Today, degens found it and are sending it, just to prove him wrong. Hilarious. The trenches never disappoint.
