They are not becoming the new shitcoin, they are the new shitcoins, and to sincere, my love for vitalik grew more after what he did, not saying I don't feel sorry for those who must have lost a lot of money on this new set of shitcoins, but they should have known better that putting money in a shitcoin is a gamble with big risk.
And to see how dumb this developers are, they wanna burn coins and choose the address of vitalik to burn the coins, if I was vitalik, that would be an insult to my person and would have done the same thing vitalik did, vitalik already knew that this tokens aren't gonna last long and they will all return to zero, so he's probably protecting he's wallet from hodling trillions of shitcoins with absolutely no value in the future, so he did the right thing by sending those funds out of his wallet and using them to help humanity while they still have some value, this will serve as a lesson to this developers and also to those who think investing in meme coins is the best way to make money.
If nothing else, make those tokens valuable to humanity. Not only to fatten the pockets of those developers. So yes, I also agree with Vitalik's move. Instead of letting those tokens sit in his wallet, at least make it valuable to others in need, especially during this pandemic. And it is not his fault if it will go down hard, if there is solid foundation, they can always go up again. But if not, it means, it is indeed a shitcoin.
