Anyone has met Antony (the founder of Ether) knows hes shaddy as fck. The guy doesnt really understand bitcoin and generally talks baseless crap just like Roger Ver.
Someone should do a background check on Antony and you will be shocked.

Everything's shady. You forgot about the Goldman Sach's connection. There's only so many people in this world that have worked for them (out of 7 billion people) and yet Ethereum has them.
Then there's Vitalik - always doing these hour long interviews and flying around the world to promote Ethereum. When does he have time to do any development? Why is he passed off as some sort of prodigy developer? How is that kid more well known than Charlie Lee or actual Bitcoin developers like Gavin Andresen? I swear that Vitalik is a mascot, some Goldmansachs executive at some table probably said: "We need someone 'hip and kewl', like Justin Bieber, to promote our scam coin to the skateboarding millenials".. "umm how about Vitalik sir, all he does is edit some magazine read by a few dozen people and he's also from Toronto just like Bieber", "Good job Samuels, keep up the good work and you'll get that raise".
Having met both Vitalik and Anthony, this is basically how it comes across. Anthony is some Oliver Twist-esque Fagin character and Vitalik is an anointed coding genius that is utilized to play the role of lead dev. Bitcoin decentral is like an ethereum cult where "utopia" is used every other word and questioning the credentials of people like Anothony or Vitalik absurd...
Vitalik seems to play the part well but far from running a magazine I just don't see what software he has created or contributed to that is that "earth-shattering".
Once again people only ask this question because he is being billed as some savant and I just don't see it.
