Buterin: Values are More Important than Technology
Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin reminded that it is the goals and beliefs of the developers that determine the usefulness of decentralized applications for society.
He highlighted Farcaster, Polymarket, and Signal as examples of useful projects. Pump.fun, FTX, and Terra were mentioned as examples of harmful philosophy.
> "Programs depend 80% on goals. The values of their creators decide everything," — Vitalik.
He also reminded that user privacy is a priority in the future "roadmap" of Ethereum.
