Who Knew? A Perfect Bribery Vehicle, According to Ethereum Creator

January 30, 2025

dino orange_thumb_thumb_thumb_thumb_thumbA blog post from an authentic dinobaby. He’s old; he’s in the sticks; and he is deeply skeptical.

I read “Ethereum Creator Vitalik Buterin: Politician Issued Coins Perfect Bribery Vehicle.” Isn’t Mr. Buterin a Russian Canadian? People with these cultural influences can spot a plastic moose quickly in experience.

The write up reports:

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has criticized cryptocurrencies issued by politicians as “a perfect bribery vehicle.” “If a politician issues a coin, you do not even need to send them any coins to give them money,” Buterin explained in a tweet. “Instead, you just buy and hold the coin, and this increases the value of their holdings passively.” He added that one of the reasons these “politician coins” are potentially excellent tools for bribery is the element of “deniability.”

Mr. Buterin is quoted in the write up as saying:

“I recommend politicians do not go down this path.”

Who knew that a plastic moose would become animated and frighten the insightful Russian Canadian? What sound does a plastic moose make? Hee haw hee haw.

Nope, that’s a jackass.  Easy mistake.
