😱🔥Vitalik Buterin clarifies controversial Shiba Inu donation: SHIB exceeded my expectations

Ethereum founder #VitalikButerin answered a question about a donation he made 2.5 years ago. Buterin stated that his #SHIB donation to an artificial intelligence institute reached the level of $ 660 million with a sharp increase in the token. "SHIB has seriously exceeded my expectations," Buterin said.

Politico, known for its news about political developments in the United States and Europe, has put an institution to which Vitalik Buterin made a donation in 2021 under the spotlight. Politico, which uses the words “small artificial intelligence group that received $ 660 million in donations” in its headline, also questioned Buterin's donation.

Politico, which questioned the donations received to the field of artificial intelligence together with the Future of Life Institute (FLI) institution, which has about 20 employees in the United States and Europe and is known for its artificial intelligence studies, stated that this institution had only $ 2.5 million in hand that year.

“This is what happened when SHIB exceeded my expectations”

One reader, via X, said, ”This donation may not be exactly 660 million, but according to Politico, it is...". Buterin, on the other hand, did not leave unanswered this tweet he saw. Buterin, who stated that the Shiba Inu donation he made was valued more than he expected, said::

“In fact, this was the same as the CryptoRelief donation. After the decision to make a donation, I immediately sent a part of the SHIB token. I thought it could fall up to 100 times in a few days. That's why I wanted to send it right away and make sure that the organization cashed it in right away. I thought they could get at least a sum in the range of $ 10-25 million December. But SHIB exceeded my expectations and was valued”

That is why the figure mentioned by Politico may actually be due to the tremendous rise in the #ShibaInu

On the other hand, Shytoshi Kusama, one of the anonymous developers of Shiba Inu, also RT Buterin's tweet.
