Vitalik Buterin Wants to Hear ‘Unhinged Critisism,’ Asks ETH Community Which Other Coin/Fiat They Favor
The ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin has been having some fun on Twitter – asking his followers to share the most outlandish criticism they have ever seen of him, and asking which other coin or fiat they would like to see succeed if ETH does not attain mainstream acceptance in the future.
