Vitalik: FTX is a cautionary tale that completely reverses Ethereum's principles
ChainCatcher news, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated at the Devconnect conference in Argentina that the now-defunct crypto exchange FTX is the "antithesis" of Ethereum's philosophy. He pointed out that FTX relied on a centralized structure, requiring users to "trust the platform not to do evil," whereas the core of Ethereum is decentralization, transparent collaboration, and a technical design that is "incapable of doing evil."
In his speech, Vitalik opened with old remarks from Sam Bankman-Fried and emphasized that the centralized architecture was the root cause of FTX's collapse; in contrast, all Ethereum upgrades are reviewed and advanced by the community in a public environment. He stated that FTX is a "company," while Ethereum is a "community," and the two are fundamentally different in structure and values.
