Vitalik Buterin has addressed criticisms from Kyle Samani of Multicoin and other commentators about Ethereum’s efficiency and decentralization.
In response to concerns about the network’s scaling issues and its competitive position, Buterin outlined Ethereum’s ongoing improvements and strategic focus.
Buterin defended Ethereum’s decentralization amid claims of centralization and inefficiencies. He highlighted recent technological advancements, including better network security and reduced transaction censorship. According to Buterin, Ethereum’s development is steering it towards greater decentralization.

In further comments, Buterin compared Ethereum’s performance with Bitcoin and Solana, emphasizing that Ethereum has accumulated significant value in a relatively short time. He also highlighted the importance of Layer 2 solutions in improving scalability while maintaining decentralization principles.
