Ethereum Creator Vitalik Buterin Gives Into Community Demands On 'Bullposting:' Here's What Happened Next

Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s ETH/USD co-founder, recently shared a so-called “bullpost” promoting the cryptocurrency project. Within minutes, it surpassed his “philosophical” blog piece on plurality in engagement.

What Happened: On Wednesday, Buterin responded to grievances from the community that he doesn’t do much “Ethereum bullposting,” a jargon that appeared to refer to posts that praise a cryptocurrency project.

To shake things up, Buterin posted a literal image of a bull standing on top of a rock, with a banner that read, “Ethereum is good.”

While Buterin may have heeded the community’s demands casually, little did he know what was about to happen. In barely three minutes, the comments and reposts on the aforementioned “bullpost” crossed that of a 11700-word blog piece that Buterin posted two hours ago.

This post comes in the wake of Buterin’s recent proposal of “Plurality” as a potential solution to the ongoing tension between the cryptocurrency space and traditional governance structures. The concept emphasizes the importance of integrating diverse perspectives and connections between individuals to create more effective governance and social systems.

Why It Matters: Buterin has been known for sharing long and extensive commentary on emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and blockchain. While these blog posts carry immense value to tech enthusiasts, they can be a bit complicated for a layperson to grasp.

As far as the concept of "Plurality" was concerned, Buterin viewed it as a potential solution to the ongoing tension between the cryptocurrency space and traditional governance structures.

The Ethereum co-founder also made headlines recently when he revealed donating over $500,000 worth of memecoins, which he received from several project creators to a charity that looks after the welfare of animals
