Eric Wall, a Crypto-darwinist says:
“The problem when you give millions of $ETH to $ETH competitors is that they can unload the $ETH on the spot market and short $ETH on the futures market before that, so they’re not only securing the funding but also manipulating the underlying spot market in favor of their shorts.”
Kevin Pham, a Bitcoin Maximalist says:
“It’s now or never @VitalikButerin. You can swallow your pride & walk away from ETH and make amends with Bitcoiners or you can go down in infamy as the Elizabeth Holmes of crypto and be the poster child of crypto excess. Your handlers used you for their own ends, save yourself.”
Mr. Kiss, a Twitterati says:
“The last time #ETH tanked this hard was when @VitalikButerin was supposedly dead… Where’s the FUD this time?”
