Vitalik Buterin Says Crypto Is Becoming Right-Leaning Thing
While speaking with TIME Magazine, Buterin expressed his concern over the future of the fast-growing crypto industry.
According to Ethereum co-founder, the crypto ecosystem will have to lose some of its potentials before the asset class could be considered a right-leaning thing. He said failure to become a right-leaning thing will turn it to prey in the hands of dictatorial governments.
Vitalik Buterin noted:
“There are definitely signs that are making it seem like crypto is on the verge of becoming a right-leaning thing. If it does happen, we’ll sacrifice a lot of the potential it has to offer.”
