In a recent introspective blog post, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin candidly described the complexities of his journey in the cryptocurrency world and its intersection with global politics.

Buterin’s revelations, especially regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ‘unintentional’ legalization and his observations on the volatility of the cryptocurrency industry, provide a rare glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential figures in the cryptocurrency world. provides.

Buterin spoke about his experience meeting President Vladimir Putin in 2017. At first, he did not perceive the meeting as support for the Putin regime. But on reflection, he now sees this as an unwitting legitimization of a controversial politician. This admission marks a significant shift in Buterin’s perception of his own actions and highlights the ethical complexities his tech leaders face as they interact with global politics.

“Now, five years later, I realize that (i) I was complicit in legitimizing a genocidal dictator, and (ii) I could no longer afford to stand back and allow the mysterious “others” to exist, even in the cryptocurrency world. We run the show.”

– Vitalik Buterin

The Ethereum founder also looked into Sam Bankman-Fried and how his perception changed during the downfall of FTX. This incident was a stark reminder of the impermanent and often unpredictable nature of leadership within the cryptocurrency community. Buterin observed that many individuals who were once considered beacons of the industry either no longer exist or have lost their status. This realization highlights the transient nature and rapid development of influence within the cryptocurrency sector.

Buterin’s reflections on the FTX collapse highlight the importance of ethical stewardship and vigilant leadership for cryptocurrencies. It serves as a warning about the dangers of rapid growth and the need for transparency and accountability in the industry. This event, combined with his personal experiences, points to a mature perspective on Buterin’s part, acknowledging the significant responsibility and potential impact his actions have on the broader technological and political environment.

Buterin shared a list of ‘current and former crypto figures of note’ ​​on this blog.

These reflections are a broader part of Buterin’s lengthy seven-chapter blog, in which he revisits his experiences, learnings, successes, and failures in the cryptocurrency industry. Through these reflections, Buterin again emphasized that he no longer wants to be the face of cryptocurrency, but rather believes that “people 10 years younger” are better qualified to take on that role today.
