Well, it appears our dear Vitalik Buterin has taken a sharp turn on the blockchain boulevard, swinging from the Bitcoin bash to giving ETH a rather warm hug. One might say he’s adjusting his crypto mood ring-next thing you know, he’ll be riding a unicorn at the next conference.
Just last year, he was waving the Bitcoin banner with all the ferocity of a knight defending the realm. Now, he’s apparently sold on the idea of companies stacking ETH like it’s the latest fad-probably trying to outdo the Mars bars and fuzzy dice hanging from their dashboards. Pierre Rochard, an eager eavesdropper of the crypto grapevine, caught wind of his Mr. Hyde-to-Dr. Jekyll switch, and tweeted out a screenshot of the old vitriol versus the new evangelism. Fancy that, an ideological renaissance, or maybe just a sign that even tech oligarchs get tired of their own scripts! 📸
Vitalik’s about-face: ETH over Bitcoin? Who woulda thunk? 🥴
In the dim past, Vitalik wasn’t shy about giving Bitcoin treasury companies a good ol’ shake of the disapproval stick. As Rochard summed it up, “not what crypto is about,” which sounds a bit like telling your aunt you’re “not quite ready” for pineapple on pizza. 🍍
Vitalik on Bitcoin treasuries: “not what crypto is about.”
Vitalik on ETH treasuries: “good and valuable.”

Fast forward to today, he’s practically singing the praises of ETH as a corporate piggy bank. In a little snippet from Bankless, our hero gushed about ETH being a decent asset-like a shiny new teapot-worth a spot in any treasury. Giving companies more options, he says. But-and here’s the kicker-he warns about overdoing it, lest the ETH price gets over-leveraged and turns into a crypto version of a rollercoaster ride after too many dizzying loops.
Are ETH Treasuries good for Ethereum? @VitalikButerin thinks they can be:
“ETH just being an asset that companies can have as part of their treasury is good and valuable… giving people more options is good.”
And then, in a dramatic voice:
“If you woke me up 3 years from now…”

Oddly enough, he skipped mentioning Saylor or his Bitcoin treasure chest this time around. Someone cheekily wondered if last year’s tweet was a cryptic nudge to Saylor, who clearly thinks all cryptos other than Bitcoin should be top-shelf regulated-an idea Rochard sniped at with his usual wit, calling it “zero reading comprehension.” Ah, the joys of cryptic diplomacy in the age of tweets and emojis! 😅
