The founder of Ethereum follows the tradition of Cryptochamomile
The Ethereum founder, who has been more and more comfortable with tweetstorms lately, has decided to make a statement about some groups after a Twitter year-end tradition started by another user of the social network.. Vitalik Buterin comments on the matter:
I want to follow the tradition of Cryptochamomile and end the year with praise for groups inside and outside the crypto space that I either consider as outgroups or those I normally don’t praise.
