Some commentators in x called him “sad.” Others used expletives. Anyway, a video of the ethereum co -founder, Vitalik Butein, went viral and not in good sense.
The cryptographic community in x.com, rarely known for the decorum, criticized Bugerin for kneeling before a robot and emitting what sounds like a sound of “meow”.
To some, the <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/Philfog/status/1905634153535541262″ target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>video He stressed why one must be “optimistic” about the present and future of ethereum. For others, he was worthy of a photo edition of Studio Gibli. Most people were still moving. See below.

In the brief clip, Bugerin caresses the robot in the head after making the unusual sound. Although the video has not yet commented, the moment has lit the talk, particularly given the recent price struggles of Ether.
From the publication, Ether has fallen almost 55% since he claimed the $ 4,000 mark in December 2024, now quoting $ 1,833, more than 8% in last week.

Some cryptography figures have expressed concern, with the commentator “Monte crypto's count” pointing out humorous that Ether's price was more worrying than Bugerin's peculiar behavior.
And when Buterin tried <a target="_blank" href="https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2025/03/29/pubos.html” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>destination
It is noteworthy that Bugerin has been known for being peculiar and, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-29/crypto-s-trumpian-embrace-is-leaving-bitcoin-s-big-rival-behind?srnd=phx-crypto&sref=TBDibEcD” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>to A recent Bloomberg feature, “Monkish”.
But your behavior occasionally invites scrutiny. Iggy Azalea, for example, decelerated Buterin for singing in Token2049 in Singapore, calling him “loser s …”.
Buterin is not clear in his political affiliation, which is something refreshing for today's polarized cryptography merchants. He has talked openly against the former president of the SEC, Gary Gensler, as well as the dangers of the “large -scale political currencies”, apparently a criticism in Trump.
In fact, many cryptographic leaders have adopted Trump's pro-Christotopta position, but Bugerin has distanced himself, rejecting what he called the “bronze mentality” favored by some in the cryptographic community.
With Ether in the face of the uncertain perspectives and Bugerin actions that feed the speculation, it is not clear whether his personal decentralization brand or his refusal to align with Trump's cryptographic policies will shape the ethereum path forward.
