According to TechFlow, on December 3, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said in an interview that the foundation was almost out of funds after the launch of the Ethereum main chain in 2015. Wanxiang purchased 410,000 ethers at a price of $1.2 each, investing a total of $500,000 to support the development of the foundation. This investment may have "saved the foundation's life."
Vitalik believes that the concept of large blocks is correct, but the lack of execution leads to failure. He pointed out that the Bitcoin community is too focused on prices and the prospects for technological development are not optimistic.
Talking about the Russian-Ukrainian war, Vitalik said that the conflict has completely changed him. After publicly supporting Ukraine, he may not be able to return to Russia and may even face a 10-15 year prison sentence.
Regarding the positioning of Ethereum, Vitalik prefers the concept of "world computer", believing that it is not only a chain, but also an ecosystem that supports various applications.
