PANews reported on February 17 that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on the X platform that users are free to use Ethereum without needing to agree with his views on application models, DeFi, privacy payments, AI, etc. As a decentralized protocol, Ethereum should maintain its permissionless and censorship-resistant attributes, but this does not mean that individuals cannot make value judgments and publicly criticize applications. Neutrality should belong to the protocol layer, and individuals and communities need to clearly express their own principles and build an ecosystem consistent with their values ​​on this basis, while accepting that Ethereum will be used in different ways by different philosophies.
