Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has expressed support for the decision by U.S. restaurant chain Steak'n Shake to pause a vote on accepting ETH payments. The company halted the vote after considering feedback from the Bitcoin community. Buterin stated, "This is a good decision, and I respect it. Not all businesses should try to attract as many customers as possible under the guise of 'not being extremists.' We need those who are steadfast, who believe in their cause and community, and view their work as an act of love."
