A strange thing is happening in the cryptosphere these days apparently. Two of the most interesting personalities (Vitalik Buterin of Ethereum and Charles Hoskinson of Cardano) who know how to talk all things crypto and the technicalities behind it, are apparently trying to attract a wider user net as of late. Perhaps they are jealous of Justin Sun’s reach of course. The Tron CEO boasts over a million followers, so you never know that might be the reason for their change in habits.

Advertentie.

Vitalik and Belarus

Vitalik Buterin, founder and CEO of Ethereum, has often been accused of being too technical and too nerdy for the cryptosphere, but as of late he seems to want to change all that. With recent polls and now a retweet calling for freedom and honest elections in Belarus (which is seeing a revolution funded in part by crypto), Vitalik is tapping into growing political trends.

Last week, he already set the tone when he highlighted a story by Portuguese writer Bruno Maçaes about the possibility of a crypto state.

We are eager to see whether Vitalik is scoring points with the wider public for this.

Hoskinson and fasting

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, is normally quite keen on touting Cardano’s platform and the advancement of it’s technology, but as of late he switches to political commentary as well.

Hoskinson is seen as a Trump supporter and is touting possible Covid-19 outcomes in the US. You may think that this would cost him popularity in the cryptosphere, but many of his supporters seem keen on hearing his viewpoints on politics as well.

Over the weekend, he surprised many though, when announcing that he was at a salad place to break a six-day fast. Intermittent fasting is of course a major trend at this moment (see the popularity of Fast, Feast, Repeat), but we never figured Hoskinson to be a follower of this fad. Good on him.
