Vitalik Buterin: Crypto prices are the "ultimate double-edged sword." On December 5, 2025, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin @VitalikButerin discussed the original spirit of the crypto space in a Green Pill podcast interview. He believes the industry has had three key directions from the beginning: censorship resistance, providing an alternative path for those excluded from traditional systems; the "number go up" side, which he describes as an ultimate double-edged sword that pays for a lot of things but risks compromising the space's core values; and institution design, ensuring these new systems can maintain themselves without eventually becoming the same as the old boss.
