Crypto controversy
Ethereum’s co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, calls out the anti-BTC communities’ efforts to slander BTC developers.
Ashamed to see anti-BTC people trying so hard (also https://t.co/Yapd63U27Q) to focus on this third degree connection (JEâžœJoiâžœDGâžœBS and JEâžœJoiâžœDCIâžœcore devs) to argue BTC dev is horribly corrupt.
Let’s stop abusing tragedies to push agendas and focus on substance please. https://t.co/JVjXKr3ZCw
