Vitalik Buterin: Don't hate apes

03/24 00:04

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin was interviewed by TIME in a cover story. In the interview, Buterin said there are increasing dangers with cryptocurrencies, including overeager investors and soaring transaction fees. The Ethereum co-founder went on to take an apparent shot at Bored Ape Yacht Club, an NFT collection that was minted on the Ethereum blockchain in April 2021. He said: “The peril is you have these $3 million monkeys, and it becomes a different kind of gambling.” The comment made many participants think that Vitalik Buterin hates or despises some NFT projects. Vitalik Buterin responded on twitter: “I don't hate apes, I just want them to fund public goods!”
