The scathing criticisms have done little to dampen the morale of the Russian-Canadian computer programmer.<\/p>\n<h2>The Scathing Criticisms<\/h2>\n<p>On March 18th, TIME published a piece called \u201c The Man Behind Ethereum Is Worried About Crypto\u2019s Future\u201d in which Buterin expressed his concerns on the future of the network. Since the publication, a cross-section of Twitter users have shared the piece while taking swipes at Buterin\u2019s appearance.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI have never seen a face more deserving of being shoved into a locker in my entire life,\u201d read one tweet while another read, \u201chow is it possible to be this rich and still ugly omg get a hair transplant or botox a new wardrobe SOMETHING\u201d.<\/em> Others compared him to being Tom Brady on dog food as the conversation steered away from cryptocurrency\u2019s challenges to physical appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Vitalik Buterin played it cool by saying, <em>\u201cThe quote tweets on the new time article about me are truly amazing. These are barely cherry-picked, it\u2019s pretty much one piece of awesome after another. Highly recommend scrolling.&#8221; <\/em>He added that he did not know who Tom Brady was but guessed that he was the actor from Mission Impossible.<\/p>\n<p>Charles Hoskinson, Cardano\u2019s founder, and Ethereum\u2019s co-founder was quick to offer a measure of advice to Buterin.<em> \u201cDon\u2019t worry, it gets easier every day dealing with the critics.\u201d<\/em> Hoskinson has come under his fair share of criticisms, notably over the uncertainty over his Ph.D. and Cardano\u2019s slow developmental pace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Other users were quick to offer support to Buterin while referring to the bullies as being \u201cinsecure trolls\u201d and questioning their contributions to humanity. Buterin founded the Ethereum network and co-founded Bitcoin Magazine. The 27-year-old donated over $1 billion worth of Shiba Inu to India\u2019s Covid Relief Fund and other charities. Featured in both Forbes 30 under 30 and Forbes 40 under 40, Buterin has become one of the most influential voices in the crypto ecosystem.<\/p>\n<h2>Buterin\u2019s Concerns&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>In the Time piece, Buterin expressed concerns that crypto has a lot of \u201cdystopian potential if implemented wrongly\u201d. He stated his worry over skyrocketing gas fees, overeager displays, and the ostentatious show of wealth that has become synonymous with cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>He took a swipe at NFTs like Bored Ape Yacht Club saying that <em>\u201cthe peril if you have these $3 million monkeys and it becomes a different kind of gambling.&#8221;<\/em> These NFT collections have earned the reputation of being the ultimate status symbol with celebrities splurging millions of dollars to add them to their holdings.<\/p>\n<p>Buterin\u2019s dream was for Ethereum to stand as the shining light for positive experimentation and to end Silicon Valley\u2019s dominance over the digital space. The decentralized nature of the platform was to be the polar opposite to the authoritarian tendencies of governments and he warns that greed could overshadow the positives for Ethereum.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/zycrypto.com\/vitalik-buterin-brushes-off-comments-from-critics-over-his-looks-and-charles-hoskinson-gives-him-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum\u2019s founder has been trolled over his<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":155003,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
