Elon Musk complained that he could not install Microsoft's Windows operating system on his new laptop without using a Microsoft account. In response, Vitalik Buterin recommended that Musk join the desktop Linux community. It is reported that Linux, like Windows, iOS, and macOS, is an operating system. However, unlike most other operating systems, Linux is an open-source operating system. The Linux operating system was first released in September 1991 and has been popular among specific user groups for many years. Today, the popular mobile operating system Android is supported by the Linux operating system. The source code of open-source software is available for anyone to view, modify, and improve. When the source code of a computer program is available for programmers to view, they can enhance its functionality by adding new features or correcting faulty parts. Some users of the X platform praised Vitalik for promoting open-source software. However, others pointed out that Linux also has its own problems. Some people pointed out that Linux may not be Musk's best choice because he uses his PC primarily for gaming. <br>

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin emphasized when responding to netizens' concerns about the joint curve (Bonding Curve) of Friend.tech that he has repeatedly pointed out that bad GameFi replaces fun with financial speculation and blockchain games need to have entertainment value in themselves. Vitalik believes that this concept also applies to the encrypted social field, and predicts that Farcaster and Lens will not be abandoned in the next four months or a year, but will have lasting appeal.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik published a blog post exploring the prospects and challenges of combining encryption with artificial intelligence. Vitalik stated that allowing individual players to become artificial intelligence, while keeping the underlying mechanisms of blockchain unchanged, would be the most promising and easiest-to-implement use case, enabling the mechanism to operate effectively on a more microscopic scale. In addition, the most challenging aspect currently is attempting to use blockchain and encryption technologies to create "singleton" applications: decentralized and trustworthy artificial intelligence that certain applications rely on for a specific purpose. These applications have the potential to improve functionality and enhance the security of artificial intelligence, while avoiding the centralized risks associated with more mainstream approaches to solving this problem. However, the underlying assumptions may also fail in many ways.

On January 16th, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed agreement with Taiko CEO Daniel Wang's opinion that "using other data chains' Rollup can be considered as Ethereum's Validium" on his social platform. At the same time, Vitalik pointed out that the core of Rollup is unconditional security. If DA depends on systems outside of Ethereum, this cannot be achieved. However, becoming Validium is a more appropriate choice for many blockchain applications, and using well-distributed DAs to ensure that the system can improve the actual security of Validium is a good method. Validium is an Ethereum Layer 2 scalability solution, which can be understood as a ZKRollup that does not use ETH as the DA layer.

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin declares that the role of single slot finality (SSF) is the most straightforward approach to tackling the majority of shortcomings on the Ethereum Proof-of-Stake (PoS) design.

One of my favorite memories from ten years ago was taking a pilgrimage to a part of Berlin that was called the Bitcoin Kiez: a region in Kreuzberg where there were around a dozen shops within a few hundred meters of each other that were all accepting Bitcoin for payments. The centerpiece of this community was Room 77, a restaurant and bar run by Joerg Platzer. In addition to simply accepting Bitcoin, it also served as a community center, and all kinds of open source developers, political activists of various affiliations, and other characters would frequently come by.

Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, has expressed his concern that the original vision of Web3 has been lost in the current culture of the crypto industry. In a recent blog post, Buterin highlighted the importance of a community where all parts work together, which was the initial goal of Web3. However, he believes that this vision has not been preserved and blames transaction fees as the number one culprit. Despite this, Buterin remains optimistic about the Ethereum network and believes that a change needs to come to the crypto and blockchain scene.

According to @EmberCN monitoring, about half an hour ago, vitalik.eth associated address transferred 500 ETH (about $1.11 million) to Coinbase Prime.

Kanro, a charity organization founded by Vitalik Buterin, transferred 50 million USDC to a wallet address starting with 0xf207, as monitored by Lookonchain, one day ago.

NFT series Buterin Cards, with Vitalik Buterin as the theme, caused a brief surge in Gwei and became the largest gas consumer. According to data from the Ethereum blockchain browser Etherscan, as of 4:00 am Beijing time, Buterin Cards had consumed 13.1% of the total gas units within three hours, higher than the Uniswap common router address and Tether's public address. In the past 24 hours, the transaction fee of this series has reached 318.31 ETH, worth 665,670 US dollars.
