I feel that vitalik created blockchain 2.0, which should be regarded as a milestone in the currency circle. In the world of blockchain, his contribution is second after Satoshi Nakamoto.
OP,I don't understand the point of your forum thread.
Is anybody denying the contribution of Vitalik Buretin to blockchain technology?
I'm not denying his contribution,but I think that he kinda opened "Pandora's box" with all the ICO tokens,DeFi,NFTs and all the scam shit that was created on top of the Ethereum blockchain.
After 6 years of existence,Ethereum had proven that it simply isn't better than Bitcoin Core and it will never replace Bitcoin Core as the biggest and best cryptocurrency in the world.
