Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin has warned against categorizing certain blockchain use cases as attacks, as this could lead to censorship and compromise the openness and defiance of authority that blockchains are built on. He argued that market mechanisms and the use of fees are the strongest aspects of blockchain technology, as they allow applications to be accepted without bias or unpredictable limitations. However, Buterin acknowledged that users are free to voice their opinions and reject certain applications. He stressed the importance of maintaining censorship resistance in order for blockchains to fulfill their potential as instruments of neutrality and freedom. The post coincides with the polarization of discussions surrounding on-chain activity, and underlines the need to strike a balance between innovation, regulation, and the core principles of blockchain technology.
