Vitalik Buterin warns: Growing the crypto space is not a clear good

Vitalik Buterin emphasized that decentralization should not just be a branding slogan but a core value. He called for a philosophical shift in the crypto space to focus on building the right infrastructure.

Buterin raised alarms about Layer 2 solutions and governance issues that could undermine the ecosystem. He argued for privacy to be treated as a fundamental aspect rather than a surface feature and stressed the importance of user control over assets.
