Topic: Vitalik Buterin Claims He Isn't Leaving Ethereum, Rejecting Reports (Read 95 times)

Why did Vitalik wait so much to deny the information?

This to me was like someone, was trying to make swing the ethereum market.
Im my opinion, ethereum is one of the cryptos constantly more polarized from end to end.
You can go through several weeks where meens only publish good news.
A day, all this changes suddenly, and durying following weeks, you only see bad news everywhere.

It would have been easy for Vitalik to deny the information instantly. But he didn't.

I don't like ethereum anymore. It coud go to the moon. Maybe. But it will do that without me.

Recently, MIT Technology Review published a popular article titled: “Vitalik Buterin says his creation can’t succeed unless he takes a step back.” Inside the article, there’s an interview MIT conducted with Vitalik Buterin at the Ethereum Devcon4 conference, held in Prague last week.

While the article’s title seems to imply Vitalik is planning on leaving Ethereum, this is seemingly not the case. In a Twitter conversation, Bitcoin price analyst Tone Vays accuses Buterin of “getting ready to pull a Dan Larimer.” For reference, Dan Larimer is the creator of BitShares, Steemit, and EOS, who has been criticized for leaving projects behind and moving onto different ventures.
Therefore, it seems that MIT’s article is reaching a bit, and that Buterin will not be “stepping back” from Ethereum.

Exiting Ethereum
Despite this controversial article, Vitalik Buterin’s involvement in Ethereum has been an ongoing point of contention for the cryptocurrency community. Although Ethereum is a decentralized network, composed of thousands of nodes, developers, users, and advocates, some have described Buterin as a “benevolent dictator” who leads the way.

Although Buterin is responsible for Ethereum’s creation, and is heavily involved in ETH’s research team, many argue that his role has been shrinking. Hudson Jameson, member of the Ethereum Foundation, has been quoted as saying that Buterin is “out of the decision-making in a lot of ways," and that “that’s something that I think is really really important for the ecosystem to thrive and become more decentralized.”

Why is there so much concern about Buterin’s involvement in Ethereum? The reason is no cryptocurrency wants to be centralized around one person. Having a leader creates a single point of failure, and in the case of Ethereum, Buterin’s disappearance could be a threat to the community. Some believe Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of bitcoin, disappeared to make sure the cryptocurrency didn’t depend on him.
