Vitalik Buterin: Cryptocurrency originated from crazy things On July 3, 2025, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin @VitalikButerin stated in an EthCC speech video published by Cointelegraph that just as the early internet grew because of porn, crypto's early expansion through crazy events was acceptable. However, he believes that since the crypto ecosystem is now widely recognized, blind expansion is no longer an automatic good. The industry needs a philosophical shift: instead of merely pursuing technologies like blockchains, builders should focus on achieving specific properties to build the right things.
