Vitalik: Blockchain Cannot Have No Lower Bounds on Moral Issues, Foundation Will Make Changes to Drive Progress

BlockBeats News, February 20th, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik, in a text-based Ask Me Anything (AMA) hosted on the Tako platform, responded to the question "Have you had a time in the last year when you've felt frustrated and disappointed with the EF, the community, or the industry?":

Of course, I have. Perhaps the most disappointing moment for me recently was when someone said that Ethereum is not good, not tolerant, because we don't show enough respect for the "casino" on the blockchain, while other chains are willing to accept any application, so they are better.

If the blockchain community has this kind of "inverted moral compass" issue, then I have no interest in being part of the blockchain space. However, I have found something interesting: on the Internet, many people will say those things, but when I personally chat with the community, everyone's values ​​are still the same as before. So I feel I have a responsibility to this community. I can't abandon them. Ethereum needs us to work together to create the world we want to see.

This will require some changes, such as the Foundation may not be too neutral at the application layer and may need to deliberately support certain things, but this project must be worth our efforts to do so.
