Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Ethereum Title Service (ENS) advocate Brantley Millegan had been having a dialog concerning the Ethereum community and decentralization, which rapidly escalated right into a broader dialogue concerning the path of Ethereum.

ENS is a decentralized naming system on the Ethereum blockchain that simplifies transactions by giving readable names to crypto addresses. As a substitute of sending tokens to complicated and lengthy addresses, customers can register an easy-to-remember title, akin to “vitalik.eth,” to facilitate easy crypto asset transfers.

ENS: Extra than simply “good”

Millegan started the dialog by expressing the “unpopular opinion” that ENS is “good.” Buterin countered, saying there was “nothing unpopular” about this view, emphasizing that ENS is “nice” and will get even higher.

Millegan jokingly warned of the chance of Buterin's constructive views on ENS being “cancelled” because of the skepticism he has acquired from some critics. Buterin, recognized for his light-hearted strategy, responded that he’s already used to being “cancelled” by varied teams, together with those that disagree together with his stance on Proof of Stake (PoS) and Proof of Work (PoW) and different controversial matters. Buterin joked by itemizing different teams which have criticized him:

“Think about what would occur if individuals who declare that solely PoW is actually decentralized, individuals who don’t agree with my place on synthetic wombs, anti-vaxxers… all of them tried to cancel me on the similar time.”

In the meantime, one other X consumer, MeanHash, responded to Buterin’s tweet with a GIF to voice his opposition. Undaunted, Buterin fired again with a playful picture of a cartoon duck holding an indication that learn, “PoS is extra decentralized than PoW.”

Buterin’s light-hearted feedback mirrored the various and typically contentious debates throughout the cryptocurrency group.
