Vitalik Buterin

It's dangerous to encourage people to believe false things (or quietly fail to correct false beliefs) if they lead to correct conclusions though. Such strategies may work in the short term, but the world is chaotic, and generally a wrong-but-helpful belief today will become a wrong-and-harmful belief tomorrow. We learned this with the whole 2020-era attempt to try to convince people that covid is not airborne so that people would not hoard masks and leave them for emergency staff. It ended up leading to really harmful misconceptions that are still persisting.

Socialism is always embraced by those who have achieved their massive success through capitalism, & wish to hold their status through pretend compassion. I will always applaud Ethereum & your contributions, it’s been clear you were a hypocritical, forever awkward beta male socialist wishing weirdness on all of us
