Vitalik Buterin calls Ethereum On Steroids in tweet

Vitalik Buterin praised EOS, calling itEthereum On Steroids in a recent tweet. He said that the naming was a reflection of the lessons the core team learned from Ethereum's amateurish naivety and idealism to deliver a platform with superior scalability and speed.

The internet is divided on whether Buterin was being sarcastic, given the odd nature of the tweet, particularly the criticism of how ETH devs have gone about their business.

Some say that EOS was a victim of its success. Expectations were high, but there were also a series of disasters, including claims of falsely overstated speed, the Delegated Proof-of-Stake DPoS mechanism being highly centralized, and the resignation of CTO Dan Larimer.

EOS is currently down 96% from its all-time high of $22.71, achieved in April 2018. EOS was the top 5 token to compete with the likes of Cardano andEthereum.

The emergence of The New EOS was a way to turn this around by referring to a comeback and the emergence of a comeback. EOS has several projects in development, including the Recovery initiative, which refers to a formalized hacking response process for a safer, more reliable network, the launch of Pomelo Season 3 NFTs, and the roll out of Co 2 Zero carbon trading DEX.

It remains to be seen if La Rose and the EOS devs can re-ignite interest in the project.

In response to Buterin's tweet about Ethereum On Speed, Input Output CEO Charles Hoskinson replied by asking if he was okay.

Jungle Inc chimed in by saying Buterin's behavior has been odd lately, before ending the message by expressing confusion over the tweet.

In a post dated June 24, songadayman commented on Buterin's utopian goals for society and said his criticisms of what eth has become are lost on most people.

Buterin had previously commented on a desire to make the world more like Yudkowskian dathilan, a fictional parallel earth in which the wealthy give money in support of public goods rather than spend it on frivolous zero sum crap. According to songadaymann Buterin gave insight into his thinking by saying that his criticisms of criptocurrencies come about as he expects more from the industry.

He believes that there is more to Ethereum.
