    The quote tweets on the new time article about me are truly amazing. These are barely even cherry picked, it's pretty much one piece of awesome after another. Highly recommend scrolling. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

    Ethereum has changed the world—but not necessarily in ways that its creator, @VitalikButerin, agrees with. My TIME cover story on one of the most fascinating — and arguably important — people on earth: https://time.com/... https://twitter.com/...

    amazing piece. https://time.com/... https://twitter.com/...

    I didn't even know who Tom Brady is, had to ask people around me. My best guess was that he was the actor from Mission Impossible. https://twitter.com/...

    Great article. @VitalikButerin is really is a hero of mine. He might me be the first example of a guy who is pomo - post money. Think about that. https://twitter.com/...
  • @sriramk Sriram Krishnan on x
    I'm a big @VitalikButerin fan though not a fan of the piece ( or some of the reactions on Twitter). Think he might be regarded as one of the great intellectuals of our age. https://twitter.com/...

    @Novogratz you need your own show.. https://twitter.com/...
  • @marietjeschaake @marietjeschaake on x
    I see a pattern: the woman behind Facebook's election policy is worried about democracy. The man behind Ethereum is worried about crypto's future, the man behind AI is worried about AI, the guy behind VC is worried not enough gets built in America... ↘️ https://time.com/...

    “Buterin swiped the name from a Wikipedia list of elements from science fiction.” https://twitter.com/...

    I'm so glad that #Bitcoin has no leader. All Bitcoiners are Satoshi. https://twitter.com/...
  • @glenweyl @glenweyl on x
    Thank god for @andrewrchow, @time and most of all @VitalikButerin. This is a story that the public and public authorities need to hear. @VitalikButerin has seen better than anyone who has made this kind of money the limits of purely private logics. https://twitter.com/...

    Such a fun & fascinating cover profile of crypto founder @VitalikButerin by @andrewrchow https://time.com/...

    “Ethereum has made a handful of white men unfathomably rich, pumped pollutants into the air, and emerged as a vehicle for tax evasion, money laundering, and mind-boggling scams.” https://time.com/...

    He looks like one of those young inbred Elizabethan era princes with brittle bones who won't make it past his 14th birthday https://twitter.com/...

    I'm grateful to be included in @TIME's new cover-story profile of @VitalikButerin: https://time.com/... I've also had the opportunity to edit a book of his writings, coming out this fall. You can preorder now: https://proofofstake.gitcoin.co/ order https://twitter.com/...

    As crypto has soared in value and volume, Vitalik Buterin has watched the world he created evolve with a mixture of pride and dread, writes @andrewrchow. “Crypto itself has a lot of dystopian potential if implemented wrong,” @VitalikButerin tells TIME https://time.com/...
