An interesting discussion about the underutilization of the crypto market and space emerged recently when Georgios Konstantopoulos of Paradigm suggested that even developers in the crypto space are not fully leveraging the potential of blockchain, and suggested that self-service onboarding, user-signed requests and stablecoins could democratize authentication through decentralized platforms.
Vitalik Buterin, the founder of<a href="https://u.today/ethereum-future-vitalik-buterin-breaks-silence-on-the-purge" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum (ETH)</a>, entered the discussion by emphasizing Ethereum's founding philosophy. He likened the Ethereum address to the principle of "text as a universal interface," positioning the ETH address as a universal tool for authorization across the blockchain ecosystem and calling it the philosophy behind the main alternative blockchain.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
 Unix philosophy: text as universal interfaceEthereum philosophy: eth address as universal interfaceThanks to zkemail, tlsnotary, anon aadhaar, etc, any form of auth can be converted into an eth address, and then plugged into other tools (eg. multisig, DAO authorizations...)— vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) <a href="https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1850419732039762142?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">October 27, 2024</a>
</blockquote>
In another interaction, Vitalik Buterin also addressed the growing concerns regarding the sale of the altcoin on behalf of the Ethereum Foundation, as the price of ETH lost another 13% this week, wiping out all of the gains made in the previous week.

The altcoin's year-to-date gains total only 8.5%, while its biggest counterparts,<a href="https://u.today/coinbase-bitcoin-premium-hits-2-years-low-what-does-it-mean" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin (BTC)</a> and Solana (SOL), have returned 59.42% and 72.64%, respectively, prompting critics to question the foundation's approach of regularly selling ETH instead of betting on it.
Comparing<a href="https://u.today/vitalik-buterin-unveils-true-goal-of-ethereum-foundations-recent-eth-sales" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> to the Nobel Prize Foundation, observers urged the Foundation to use staking revenue for operational costs. <img src="https://u.today/sites/default/files/inline-images/ethereum_4.png" data-entity-uuid="f8011da9-987d-4940-bc85-f35e92ad509a" data-entity-type="file" alt="&quot;&quot;" data-caption="ETH to USD by <a href=&quot;https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/&quot;>CoinMarketCap</a>">
Buterin addressed these concerns by explaining that avoiding an official stance during potential hard forks is a key reason for not staking all holdings. However, he noted that<a href="https://u.today/solana-dwarfs-ethereum-with-record-breaking-rev-details" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> is exploring alternatives, including grants that allow recipients to stake ETH independently.
Another approach being considered is to distribute authority and resources across multiple organizations to credibly represent Ethereum, thereby reducing the need for centralized decisions. <a href="https://u.today/vitalik-buterin-reveals-true-ethereum-eth-philosophy" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read original article on U.Today</a>
