According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on December 3, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated in an interview with Wu said Blockchain that after the Ethereum main chain was launched in 2015, the foundation was nearly out of funds. Wanxiang purchased 410,000 Ether at a price of $1.20 each, totaling a $500,000 investment to support the foundation's development, which this investment might have 'saved the foundation's life'. In addition, Vitalik believes that the concept of larger blocks is more correct, but insufficient execution capability is the main reason for its failure. He pointed out that the Bitcoin community is currently too focused on price, and the outlook for technological development is not optimistic.
Speaking about the Russia-Ukraine war, Vitalik expressed that this conflict has completely changed him. After openly supporting Ukraine, he realized that he might never be able to return to Russia, and he could even face a prison sentence of 10-15 years.
Regarding the positioning of Ethereum, Vitalik prefers the concept of a 'world computer', believing that it is not just a chain, but an ecosystem that can support various applications.
