PANews reported on January 21 that Vitalik Buterin responded to the controversy about the Ethereum Foundation (EF) in a tweet, emphasizing that EF is only part of the "world computer". He pointed out that perhaps some people do not want to reform and improve EF, but organizations like Consensys. He believes that EF should focus on the core areas of Ethereum that it can effectively represent, while creating space for other organizations to develop other parts of the Ethereum ecosystem in a more suitable form (including profit models).
