Today, a netizen posted on a social media platform that their life has encountered setbacks, which have caused them to lose the motivation to continue moving forward. Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, warmly shared his experience and encouraged the netizen not to give up on himself. However, Vitalik's post content has once again drawn criticism from the Ethereum community.

Vitalik posts a complaint about his own experiences

Vitalik In the article, it is criticized that the current cryptocurrency market is too speculative. Many investment institutions and members of the cryptocurrency community view the "PvP KOL degen casino" (referring to a high-risk, highly speculative market ecosystem) as the best product market fit (PMF) for the cryptocurrency market. Even though this model leads to losses for over 99% of users, it is still considered successful by some. But when he expressed his hope that blockchain applications in memory could have something "better" than PVP casinos, it was instead seen as a form of elitist superiority.

In addition, he also expressed dissatisfaction with the misunderstanding of the internal operations of the Ethereum Foundation by the outside world. He mentioned that many people who knew nothing about the internal affairs of the foundation attempted to provide him with personnel suggestions and even hoped to complete major organizational changes within just two weeks. Vitalik frankly stated that such expectations are unrealistic and have caused him to have thoughts of giving up at one point.

However, even in the face of these challenges, Vitalik Whenever he falls into a low tide, he can always see a "signal" from somewhere in the world, reminding him that the value of continuing to strive still exists and is worth continuing to work hard.

The community has once again stirred up criticism

Although Vitalik's article seems to have nothing inappropriate, in the eyes of many Ethereum community members, it once again confirms Vitalik's stubborn personality and unwillingness to accept others' opinions.

Evan Van Ness, founder of Week in Ethereum, which has ceased operations, left a message under Vitalik's article stating:

The problem is that over the past few months, you have chosen not to listen to those who know more about the internal situation of the foundation than you do. The people who tell you 'what you don't want to hear' are actually the ones who truly care about you and Ethereum. Moreover, they often do so against their own interests

On the other hand, cryptocurrency researcher Chen Jian also stated that everyone's attacks on the Ethereum Foundation from beginning to end are not unfounded accusations, Vitalik There was originally ample time to explain the reasons behind these accusations to the community, or to consider whether these accusations were truly reasonable, and even to make slight changes to compromise with the community. But in the end, Vitalik chose to ignore all voices and treated reasonable suggestions and rude insults as "noise", even the suggestions made by the top founders of the Ethereum ecosystem such as Lido and Aave were not adopted or positively responded to.

Chen Jian criticized:

Has Vitalik really reflected on where the problem lies with himself and the foundation? From various manifestations, no, has the Ethereum Foundation taken on the responsibility of uniting the community and leading the ecosystem? At present, there is no such thing
