Ethereum has been criticized by the outside world, Vitalik counterattacks: please give some respect

Vitalik enters combat mode

Recently, Ethereum has been widely criticized by the community due to its low price. As a result, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has frequently posted articles on the X platform, causing his "KOL mindshare" index to soar to the top of the list. This data aims to measure the attention and discussion that a key opinion leader (KOL) receives on social media or specific communities during a specific period of time.

According to Kaito AI's data, Vitalik Buterin, who is in a "combat state," has ranked first with a market share of 1.69% in the past seven days, followed closely by Helius Labs CEO Mert Mumtaz with a market share of 1.18%.

Vitalik Buterin recently wrote a long article on the X platform defending the Ethereum Foundation's frequent sale of Ethereum. Vitalik Buterin stated that the proceeds from the sale of these Ethereum coins are intended to be used to pay developers and researchers to ensure the stable operation of the Ethereum network. He emphasized that Ethereum's PoS mechanism enables transactions to be confirmed in less than 30 seconds, with low transaction fees, and the network has remained uninterrupted since 2016. It also supports the privacy function of zero knowledge proofs. He also counterattacked his critics, demanding that they "give some respect".

The foundation does not pledge Ether to avoid 'official choice'

Some people suggest that the Ethereum Foundation pledges all of its Ethereum to generate revenue to pay for operating costs, rather than selling it. However, Vitalik Buterin explained that the Ethereum Foundation hopes to avoid being forced to make an "official choice" in the event of a controversial hard fork in the future.

However, Vitalik Buterin stated that the foundation is considering exploring other staking methods, such as issuing subsidies with staked Ethereum, allowing recipients to control withdrawal times and retain staking rewards. Meanwhile, Buterin also discussed the possibility of entrusting the pledge responsibility of the foundation to other institutions.
