Vitalik’s Divine Right to Rule Ethereum

Vitalik Buterin

My dear readers, it would seem that our beloved Ethereum co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, has declared himself the sole monarch of the Ethereum Foundation. In a recent X post, our infallible leader dismissed all calls for a leadership shakeup, leaving us to wonder, “Is this a democracy or a Vitalik-ocracy?” 😜

Buterin insists that the fate of the foundation remains in his hands until some “proper board” is introduced. He also takes a swipe at the “actively toxic” members of the crypto community, who he claims are driving away top talent. Oh, the irony! 🙄

Danny Ryan’s Royal Ambitions

Buterin’s X post comes after a surge of community pressure to promote Danny Ryan, a mere researcher and developer, to a leadership role. Ryan’s supporters argue that he deserves the throne based on his contributions to Ethereum and his leadership in the consensus layer upgrade. But Buterin has made it clear that his reign is not up for grabs. 👑

Alas, the leadership debate has exposed a darker side of the Ethereum community. Buterin has condemned the harassment and death threats directed at Aya Miyaguchi, the foundation’s executive director. Some community members have even demanded her execution. 🤬

Buterin has warned that such behavior risks alienating Ethereum’s finest minds and creating a hostile environment. He has also dismissed social media pressures, saying, “YOU ARE MAKING MY JOB HARDER. And you are decreasing the chance I have any interest whatsoever in doing ‘what you want.'” 😤

Buterin’s Leadership Transformations

In a surprising turn of events, Buterin recently announced significant changes to the foundation’s leadership to improve communication between the foundation and builders. He outlined goals such as supporting DApp developers, censorship resistance, and promoting decentralization. 🤔

However, in a bewildering contradiction just two days later, Buterin asserted his sole authority over the foundation. My dear readers, I am left wondering, “Which Vitalik are we dealing with today?” 🎭

In conclusion, it seems that Ethereum’s governance is a tale of power struggles, toxicity, and the whims of our enigmatic leader. One thing is for sure: Vitalik Buterin has cemented his place as the absolute monarch of the Ethereum kingdom for now. Long live the king! Or should I say, emperor? 👑
