© Reuters.  Bitcoin leader: Turning into "failed project"
  • "The seeds of its destruction among the debris of a community blinded by numerical price increases, and imminent divine reclamation," tweeted Amir Taaki a day ago. "One day you will all understand my words but it will be too late, the ship would have sailed."
  • He was seconded this morning by Ethereum co-creator Vitalik Buterin, who called on all crypto communities - Ethereum included - to pay heed to Taaki's words. "Need to differentiate between getting hundreds of billions of dollars of digital paper wealth sloshing around and actually achieving something meaningful for society."
  • "If all that we accomplish is lambo memes and immature puns about 'sharting', then I WILL leave."
  • Bitcoin, meanwhile, began closing back in on $17K earlier today, but has retraced down to $15.3K. Ethereum is also modestly lower to $739.
