Ethereum Foundation infighting spreads as Vitalik Buterin moves to cut influence
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin (비탈릭 부테린) has responded to sharp criticism over the Ethereum Foundation\'s role and operations. He rejected demands that the foundation defend token prices or step up marketing, saying priorities are censorship resistance, open source code, long-term research, cybersecurity and decentralisation.
