Vitalik Buterin Is Acting As A Type Of Fraudster, Says Calvin Ayre

Yesterday, co-founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin declared his disapproval of Bitcoin Cash ‘Satoshi’s Version’ (BSV). In a series of tweets, Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, called the new hard fork of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) a pure dumpster fire. Ethereum’s co-founder made these comments in an online Twitter debate. The debate was held with cryptocurrency commentator and businessman Tuur Demeester on Christmas Day.

Buterin’s View On PoW And Pos

During the discussion, Buterin spoke on the positives and negatives of Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS). These two algorithms are normally used by cryptocurrency developers in building their assets. When asked about his opinion on Bitcoin SV, Buterin declared his disagreement. He said, he has his disagreements with the Bitcoin roadmap, PoW, etc.But, they’re all trying to create a genuinely cool tech. Then, he called BSV a pure dumpster fire.

Buterin also made his disdain for PoW known during the discussion. At some point, he declared that he no longer believes in the algorithm. But, he remains optimistic about the kind of technology that is being developed. Unfortunately, he does not share the same perspective for Bitcoin SV. He claims Bitcoin SV have been in a similar way to the original vision set by Bitcoin’s main developers.

Although, the hard fork that created BSV has caused some conflicts between crypto investors. But, both BSV and Bitcoin Cash ABC continue to have strong support behind them. Buterin has also previously called Craig S. Wright a fraud at an event.

I believe Vitalik is acting as a type of fraudster and has no business commenting on things he clearly is not competent to be commenting on such as Craigs abilities (outshine his) or what crypto actually scales and is sound money (not Ethereum):https://t.co/nqrPwSjRHP

His subsequent tweets elaborated on his point. Another tweet read:

Definition of fraud is intentionally misrepresenting others for your perceived benefit…which is what Vitalik is constantly doing publicly. If he does not know the things he is saying are not true he is also incompetent. https://t.co/FhwTIIVsGW

Vitalik On Ethereum Skepticism

As regards Vitalik Buterin criticisms of Ethereum skepticism from Tuur Demeester. Calvin replied with his tweet that read:

two guys fighting and both backing technology that does not work. Like two guys fighting over where the chairs go on the deck of a sinking ships. #Bitcoin BSV already scales and has tokens and smart contracts guys…a ship that floats good. https://t.co/3Ld6LnAScN
