Highlights:

• Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin voiced his discontent with some members of the Ethereum community for their excessive tolerance towards “casinos.”
• In an ask-me-anything (AMA) on Tako, Buterin responded to a question about his feelings towards the Ethereum Foundation and its community.

Buterin mentioned that he found it troubling how open the ecosystem has become to applications involving gambling, suggesting it negatively impacts Ethereum’s reputation. He emphasized that, although he felt responsible for the community, he might withdraw from active participation if this moral shift continues.

Buterin stated: “But I found an interesting point: on the internet, many people will say those things, but when I chat with the community in person, everyone’s values are the same as before, so I feel like I have a responsibility to this community and can’t abandon them.”
