Jimmy Song e Samson Mow Vs. Vitalik Buterin, Battle Royale en LABITCONF

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. 

Empecemos polo principio, porén. 

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.

Segundo Mow, “isto non tiña nada que ver cos reguladores. FTX estaba profundamente relacionado cos reguladores", o que é un punto fenomenal. Sam Bankman-Fried foi a cara de aspirar ao goberno para facer que toda a industria criptográfica fose máis amigable para os reguladores. Onde está agora ese movemento? Despois diso, Jimmy Song foi aínda máis alto e dixo que si, todo iso pasou, pero o verdadeiro problema é o uso de servizos centralizados como custodios. Como di o vello refrán: nin as túas chaves, nin as túas moedas. 

Ata aquí, moi ben. Pero xa había tensión no aire...

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.

O moderador, Diego Gutiérrez Zaldívar, intentou manter as cousas centradas no FTX pero non o conseguiu. O gato estaba fóra da bolsa. Gutiérrez Zaldívar pediu a Samson Mow a definición de "sh * tcoin" e o antigo Blockstream acaba de describir Ethereum e o seu funcionamento mentres Vitalik observaba con incredulidade. "O problema cos sh * tcoins é que finxen estar descentralizados mentres se executan en Amazon, principalmente, e ninguén pode executar un nodo".

Segundo Jimmy Song, a verdadeira lección do colapso do FTX foi que as persoas teñen que auto-custodia e verificar as súas propias transaccións, punto. Song criticou a cultura Altcoin de confiar e non verificar. "Tes que aprender a verificar as túas propias cousas e, se non aprendes esa lección, estarás todos destrozados. É só cuestión de tempo".

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 realmente é. 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 tivo o seu maior éxito da noite mentres falaba de que a autocustodia fose conveniente para a xente normal. El pasou pola vía do público e dixo que toda a industria debería traballar unida para que iso suceda, e o público explotou. Mow dixo que, contrariamente á crenza popular, a autocustodia era fácil. A xente só ten que seguir as instrucións da carteira de hardware. Jimmy Song foi máis aló e dixo que se a xente non está disposta a esforzarse e aprender algunhas cousas, non merece "diñeiro autosoberano". 

Ademais, Song foi pola gorxa do creador de Ethereum dicindo "Sei que non queres escoitar isto, sei que queres darlle o teu diñeiro a Vitalik". A iso, Vitalik respondeu que nin sequera confía en Vitalik co seu diñeiro e explicou a configuración da súa carteira multisig 4/6. O que foi divertido, pero evadía a verdadeira pregunta. Está no centro de Ethereum ou non?

Para rematar o incómodo pero sumamente divertido panel, Gutiérrez Zaldívar pechou co seu maior éxito da noite. Dixo que as preguntas abertas quedan para que todos pensen, "porque non temos a verdade, só compartimos a nosa forma de pensar".

Entón, que pensas?
