Elon Musk, the tech giant behind SpaceX and Tesla, is curious about why Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, has stepped back from X, the platform Musk bought in 2022.
Why Is Buterin Avoiding X?
A crypto influencer, Autism Capital, sparked the conversation by saying that Buterin’s lack of involvement on X is hurting Ethereum’s presence. They believe he should engage more on X to increase its impact.
Musk simply asked, “Why did he leave?”
Bot Activity on X
One reason for Buterin’s absence could be the rampant bot activity on X. Users pointed out that Buterin often adds “srry 4 ratio-ing” to his replies because of the flood of bots that follow his posts.
Buterin has said that this is why he prefers to tweet on Farcaster, a more decentralized platform.
Buterin’s Focus on Ethereum
Despite his limited presence on X, Buterin remains committed to Ethereum. He recently promoted the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) on X, highlighting its potential to improve security.
Buterin’s Preference for Farcaster
Buterin has also praised Farcaster for its decentralized nature and features like channels. He believes it offers a better social media experience than X.
Ethereum Price Update
At the time of writing, Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $3,490. The weekly chart shows that ETH is holding above a key support level, indicating potential for further growth.
