Jimmy Song in Samson Mow vs. Vitalik Buterin, Battle Royale na 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. 

Pa začnimo na začetku. 

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.

Po mnenju Mowa "to ni imelo nobene zveze z regulatorji. FTX je bil globoko v stiku z regulatorji,« kar je fenomenalna točka. Sam Bankman-Fried je bil obraz, ki se je ugajal vladi, da bi celotno kripto industrijo naredila regulatorju prijaznejšo. Kje je zdaj to gibanje? Po tem je šel Jimmy Song še višje in rekel, da ja, vse to se je zgodilo, vendar je resnična težava uporaba centraliziranih storitev kot skrbnikov. Kot pravi stari pregovor: Ne tvoji ključi, ne tvoji kovanci. 

Zaenkrat je vse v redu. A v zraku je bilo že čutiti napetost ...

Jimmy Song in 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, se je poskušal osredotočiti na FTX, vendar mu ni uspelo. Maček je bil iz vreče. Gutiérrez Zaldívar je prosil Samsona Mowa za definicijo "sh*tcoin" in nekdanji Blockstream je pravkar opisal Ethereum in njegovo delovanje, medtem ko je Vitalik nejeverno opazoval. "Težava s sh*tcoini je, da se pretvarjajo, da so decentralizirani, medtem ko večinoma delujejo na Amazonu, in nihče ne more zagnati vozlišča."

Po mnenju Jimmyja Songa je bila resnična lekcija propada FTX ta, da morajo ljudje sami skrbeti in preverjati svoje transakcije, pika. Song je kritiziral kulturo Altcoina, ki zaupa in ne preverja. »Naučiti se morate, kako preveriti svoje lastne stvari, in če se te lekcije ne naučite, boste vsi poraženi. Samo vprašanje časa je.”

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 v resnici je. Bitcoin “is freedom, it’s liberty.”

Mow primerja svet altkoinov z igralnico

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 dosegel največji udarec večera, ko je govoril o tem, da bi samopridržanje postalo priročno za običajne ljudi. Šel je po poti razveseljevanja množice in dejal, da bi morala celotna industrija sodelovati, da bi se to zgodilo, in javnost je eksplodirala. Mow je dejal, da je v nasprotju s splošnim prepričanjem skrbništvo nad samim seboj enostavno. Ljudje morajo le slediti navodilom strojne denarnice. Jimmy Song je šel še dlje in rekel, da si ljudje, če niso pripravljeni vložiti truda in se naučiti nekaj stvari, ne zaslužijo »samostojnega denarja«. 

Prav tako je Song krenil v grlo ustvarjalca Ethereuma z besedami: "Vem, da tega nočeš slišati, vem, da želiš svoj denar dati Vitaliku." Na to je Vitalik odgovoril, da Vitaliku sploh ne zaupa svojega denarja, in razložil nastavitev svoje denarnice z več znaki 4/6. Kar je bilo smešno, a se je izognilo pravemu vprašanju. Ali je v središču Ethereuma ali ne?

Za konec nerodne, a izjemno zabavne plošče je Gutiérrez Zaldívar zaključil s svojo največjo uspešnico večera. Dejal je, da ostajajo odprta vprašanja, o katerih mora vsak razmišljati, "ker nimamo resnice, delimo samo svoje razmišljanje."

Torej, kaj mislite?
