Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) co-founder and one of the biggest voices in the cryptocurrency space, Vitalik Buterin, praised the ecosystem’s free speech ideals. However, the assertion faced backlash from a group of people on social media.
What Happened: The man behind one of the biggest blockchain projects took to social platform X to take pride in Ethereum’s culture of welcoming criticism and not silencing voices with negative feedback on its work.
Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko endorsed Buterin’s view and deemed it an industry-wide phenomenon.
“The whole industry is awesome. You don’t see Microsoft and Google and Apple engineers all in one chat room constantly challenging each others design decisions,” Yakavenko wrote while responding to Buterin’s post.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Ethereum was exchanging hands at $3,089.07, down 1.43% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
