Jimmy Song i Samson Mow vs. Vitalik Buterin, Battle Royale na LABITCONF-u
The fact that Jimmy Song and Samson Mow were in the same bill as Vitalik Buterin was interesting enough, but the actual panel was the equivalent of an atomic bomb blowing the stage up. What started as a discussion about the FTX collapse and saga, turned into a heated debate about bitcoin Vs. Ethereum pretty quickly. It was a spectacle. And Song and Mow ensembled into some kind of bitcoin killing machine right before our eyes.
Ipak, počnimo od početka.
Besides the already mentioned characters, Ripio’s Juan Llanos and Kraken’s Alejandro Palantzas completed the panel. The moderators were Rodolfo Andragnes and Diego Gutiérrez Zaldívar, Co-founder of the Bitcoin Argentina NGO. At first, Llanos tried to explain the FTX saga in a polite way. It was a stressful situation and mistakes were made, he said. However, Samson Mow wasn’t having it. “The main problem is that they built their business on a sh*tcoin,” he said. Vitalik laughed. Everything was fine.

Prema Mowu, „ovo nije imalo nikakve veze sa regulatorima. FTX je bio duboko u krevetu sa regulatorima,” što je fenomenalno. Sam Bankman-Fried je bio lice koje je upijalo vladu kako bi cijelu kripto industriju učinila prihvatljivijom za regulatore. Gdje je sada taj pokret? Nakon toga, Jimmy Song je otišao još više i rekao da da, sve se to dogodilo, ali pravi problem je korištenje centraliziranih servisa kao čuvara. Kao što stara poslovica kaže: Ne vaši ključevi, ne vaši novčići.
Zasada je dobro. Ali napetost je već bila u vazduhu...
Jimmy Song i Samson Mow vs. Vitalik Buterin
Finally, it was Vitalik’s turn. He criticized Bankman-Fried’s megalomania and compared the FTX billboards and the stadium naming to the behavior of dictators from the last century. Vitalik explained how the FTT racket worked, and Samson Mow dropped the bomb. Mow said that a lot of what Vitalik was saying also applies to Ethereum and all hell broke loose.
Moderator, Diego Gutiérrez Zaldívar, pokušao je da zadrži fokus na FTX-u, ali nije uspio. Mačka je izašla iz torbe. Gutiérrez Zaldívar je pitao Samsona Mowa za definiciju "sh*tcoina", a bivši Blockstream je upravo opisao Ethereum i njegovo funkcioniranje dok je Vitalik gledao u nevjerici. “Problem sa sh*tcoinima je što se pretvaraju da su decentralizirani dok rade na Amazonu, uglavnom, i niko ne može pokrenuti čvor.”

Prema Jimmyju Songu, prava lekcija o kolapsu FTX-a bila je da ljudi moraju sami da se staraju i verificiraju svoje transakcije, tačka. Song je kritizirao Altcoin kulturu povjerenja i ne provjere. “Morate naučiti kako da provjerite svoje stvari, a ako ne naučite tu lekciju, svi ćete biti uništeni. Samo je pitanje vremena.”
Since it was two against one, Gutiérrez Zaldívar took it upon himself to protect Vitalik and Ethereum. He didn’t do a very good job. He gave Alejandro Palantzas the word and Palantzas said there’s a reason companies like Kraken and Coinbase are still in business 10 years later. They have resisted the temptation to print their own token or “sh*tcoin,” and “they didn’t do it because it’s morally wrong.” According to Palantzas, all the scammers in the space don’t understand what bitcoin stvarno je. Bitcoin “is freedom, it’s liberty.”

When Samson Mow defined “sh*tcoins,” he said that they advertised themself as decentralized when they had an obvious issuer. Vitalik challenged him asking if Satoshi was bitcoin’s issuer. Mow responded that what Satoshi did was set up a number of rules that a lot of people followed, which is not the same as being a central issuer. Neither Mow nor Song stated the obvious, that Satoshi is not among us while Vitalik and other altcoin CEOs are. And their influence over the protocols they preside over is immense.
Vitalik je imao svoj najveći hit večeri dok je pričao o tome da li će samozaštita biti zgodna za obične ljude. Išao je putem koji će zadovoljiti publiku i rekao da bi cijela industrija trebala raditi zajedno kako bi se to dogodilo, a javnost je eksplodirala. Mow je rekao da je, suprotno uvriježenom mišljenju, samozdržavanje bilo lako. Ljudi samo moraju slijediti upute hardverskog novčanika. Jimmy Song je otišao dalje i rekao da ako ljudi nisu voljni da ulože trud i nauče nekoliko stvari, ne zaslužuju "samostalni novac".
Takođe, Song je krenuo u grlo kreatora Ethereuma rekavši „Znam da ne želiš ovo da čuješ, znam da želiš da daš svoj novac Vitaliku“. Na to je Vitalik odgovorio da Vitaliku čak i ne vjeruje svoj novac, i objasnio nam je postavljanje svog novčanika 4/6 sa više znakova. Što je bilo smiješno, ali je izbjeglo pravo pitanje. Je li on u centru Ethereuma ili ne?
Kako bi završio nezgodnu, ali izuzetno zabavnu ploču, Gutiérrez Zaldívar je završio svojim najvećim hitom večeri. On je rekao da ostaju otvorena pitanja o kojima svi razmišljaju, “jer nemamo istinu, mi samo dijelimo svoj način razmišljanja”.
Pa šta misliš?
