PANews reported on November 25 that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin wrote on Warpcast: “The idea of developing applications just because we need them is fundamentally soulless. It completely abandons the idea that cryptocurrency is meant to bring about concrete changes in the world, making it freer, more open and more cooperative. At the same time, ignoring applications and focusing on versatility is also a short-term escape strategy.

What’s needed are specific categories of applications that truly make the world a more free, open, and collaborative place, and that gain organic adoption. Polymarket is a great example of this, and anoncast is a great opportunity to let the best of free speech surface while avoiding the quagmire of spam and low-quality content.”
