📣 Buterin Says It’s Time to Close the Crypto-Tech Divide
posted 6 Jan 2025
In a new X (formerly Twitter) discussion, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says it’s time to recognize blockchain-based decentralization as an integral part of mainstream cryptography.
Replying to a post by Cr3dentials founder Elo (@Metachaser24) about conferences and expanding outside of crypto in 2025, Vitalik mentioned that mainstream applied cryptography and cybersecurity events could be a step in the right direction.
According to the Ethereum co-founder, any event with participation from people involved in non-blockchain decentralization can be an opportunity. As an example, he mentioned security-focused messengers like Mastodon and Secure Scuttlebutt, which prioritize privacy and decentralization.
His vision focuses on bridging the gap between blockchain and other forms of decentralization to create a more unified and secure digital landscape. This collaboration could open up new opportunities across various sectors, benefiting both blockchain and non-blockchain decentralized technologies.
At its core, Buterin advocates for a broader, more inclusive understanding of decentralization. He envisions a future where both blockchain and non-blockchain innovations work together, driving progress in privacy and security.
This could ultimately shape a more decentralized and user-centric internet for everyone.
Buterin believes it’s a failure on the part of the crypto industry that it is currently separate and not seen as part of mainstream cryptography and cybersecurity. On the contrary, non-blockchain decentralization is mistakenly considered "non-crypto." However, this issue can be addressed, and according to Buterin, it’s worth taking steps to fix it.
