Vitalik: Ethereum and FTX Have Completely Opposite Philosophies

Jinse Finance reported that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin pointed out that the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX (founded by Sam Bankman-Fried) stands in complete opposition to the values represented by the Ethereum blockchain network: Ethereum is decentralized, "cannot do evil," and is a community. The billionaire in the crypto space took the main stage at the Ethereum Devconnect conference held in Argentina on Monday, wearing a pair of sunglasses inspired by Willy Wonka and a crumpled Moo Deng T-shirt, and fiercely criticized the former FTX CEO. After a brief greeting, Buterin moved to the first slide of his presentation, which featured a photo of Bankman-Fried and an earlier quote from the now-imprisoned crypto tycoon: "I got into crypto because I wanted to have the greatest positive impact on the world."
