Vitalik Buterin Responds to Criticism: "If You Don’t Like It, Sell Your ETH!"

$ETH Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin has sparked new debate with a recent post on WarpCast, where he emphasized making Ethereum Layer 1 scaling more accessible—especially for users running local nodes for personal use.

His comments drew a strong response from Dan Romero, co-founder of the Web3 social platform Farcaster. Romero criticized Buterin’s approach, calling it outdated and detrimental to the network’s evolution. He argued that Ethereum should focus on supporting larger, more efficient node operators over promoting local setups.

In a sharp rebuttal to Romero’s stance, Buterin didn’t hold back, telling him, “Consider selling your $ETH .”

The exchange has stirred discussions across the crypto community, highlighting the ongoing tension between decentralization ideals and practical scalability.
