Mother Iggy

Australian rapper Iggy Azalea has escalated her clash with Vitalik Buterin, questioning what the Ethereum co-founder does with gas fees users pay to transact on the network.
This comes after Buterin last week criticized celebrity tokens like Azalea’s newly-launched <a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/crypto-trader-turns-2300-into-9-million-after-iggy-azaleas-mother-coin-soars-1200-in-a-week" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MOTHER</a> token for their lack of utility and absence of a greater-good purpose.
“I’m not mad at this man’s opinion,” she said in a recent <a href="https://x.com/0xSydney/status/1799279142955049086" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">interview</a>. “Whatever. I question what you are doing with gas money. It’s so rich of you to have an opinion on charities and hospitals, whatever, but let’s talk about the gas fees.”

Azalea’s remarks were ridiculed by the crypto community after a post of the interview went viral on X. The majority of the <a href="https://x.com/ahitposter/status/1799279791226724716" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">backlash</a> came from Ethereum enthusiasts who seemed to be stunned by the rapper’s misunderstanding of the role gas fees play in securing the <a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/ethereum-could-soar-to-22k-by-2030-on-revenue-generating-power-vaneck-says" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a>&nbsp;blockchain.
On the other hand, some saw her knowledge gap as an indication of a broader marketing challenge for the crypto space.
 “Iggy thinking Vitalik takes the fees represents the marketing challenge all of crypto has,“ Cinneamhain Ventures partner Adam Cochran said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 Iggy thinking Vitalik takes the fees, represents the marketing challenge all of crypto has.
 It’s also why I think L2s are the only way it reaches mass consumer adoption.
 Just like most consumers don’t understand the internet, and rely on their ISP managing connectivity.
 L2s…

Despite the criticism from Buterin and the backlash from many in the crypto community, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/mother-iggy/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MOTHER</a> continues to print gains, soaring 24% in the past day.
