The crypto community is looking for someone to blame for Ethereum’s recent underperformance, and they appear to have found their scapegoat. On August 1, someone posted a photo of Vitalik Buterin and an attractive woman wearing matching plush hats, naming her his ‘girlfriend.’ She would, the poster claimed, allow the brilliant co-founder to focus on Ethereum development and spark a rally to $10,000 per coin. Unfortunately, this hasn’t turned out to be the case. Indeed, over the past week, Solana has outperformed ether by 9% , and over the past year, ether is up just 29% compared to Solana’s 400%. Ether is even underperforming Tron and meme coins like Pepe over the last 12 months. It wasn’t the first time the Ethereum community has tried to ‘ship‘ Vitalik with female influencers or selfie-posing fans. Other ‘girlfriends’ seen with Vitalik derive from a restaurant photo, conference selfie, and phallic memes. This morning, the same ...

Blockchain data shows that the value of the assets held by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is down by about $20 million over the last seven days. According to information available on blockchain data platform Arkham Intelligence, the value of the assets held on publicly-known Buterin’s addresses went from $412 million on Oct. 3 to $392 million as of press time on Oct. 10. This translates to a loss of about $20 million, or 4.85% of the total portfolio value. While at first $20 million seems like a staggering amount to lose in a week, looking at the percentage loss of under 5% makes it more reasonable — and examining the contents of this portfolio such a loss seems unexpectedly low. Buterin’s portfolio is almost completely comprised of Ethereum, which makes up over $391 million of his assets, with the rest being minor quantities of various tokens.

"Good user experience is not about the average case, it is about the worst case," wrote the Ethereum co-founder. In a new blog post published on Feb. 28, Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin documented the continued need to improve the namesake network to better facilitate ETH as a means of payment. In one instance, Buterin shared how he tried to pay for tea for himself and friends at a coffee shop in Argentina in 2021, but had to pay 0.01 ETH (around $40 at the time) as that was the minimum deposit for the owner's exchange account. "I did not mind the 3x overpayment and treated it as a tip," the co-founder wrote.  In another instance, Buterin explained how how he tried to pay for tea at another location in 2022, but two separate transactions failed due to requiring "extra gas to process the transfer" and a UI glitch in his mobile wallet. Furthermore, Buterin also raised the issue of unpredictable transaction times, writing: "Many times, t...
