Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed concerns over Twitter's transformation under Elon Musk, stating that the platform, once a symbol of global free speech, has become a hub for hate speech, potentially harming the very concept of free expression. Buterin warned of significant impacts on cherished values in the coming years. Additionally, Farcaster, a decentralized social network previously endorsed by Buterin, announced a strategic shift from a social-first to a wallet-driven approach.
