BlockBeats news, on October 28th, according to Kaito AI data cited by Andy, the host of the encryption program The Rollup, Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, ranked first in the 'opinion leader mindshare' with a share of 1.69% in the past seven days. He was followed by Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Helius Labs, with a share of 1.18%. Buterin recently published a long article on the X platform, defending the routine ETH sales of the Ethereum Foundation, emphasizing that these sales are used to pay Ethereum developers and researchers to maintain the network's Proof of Stake mechanism, achieve low fees, transactions confirmed in less than 30 seconds, privacy features of Zero-Knowledge Proof, and keep the network running uninterrupted since 2016. He also called on critics to 'show some respect'. When asked why the Ethereum Foundation does not stake all ETH to cover costs instead of selling, Buterin explained that the Ethereum Foundation wants to avoid making 'official choices' in controversial Hard Fork events. However, Buterin stated that the Ethereum Foundation is exploring other methods of stake participation, including distributing grants in the form of staked ETH, allowing grant recipients to control withdrawal time and retain earnings. He also mentioned the possibility of delegating the Foundation's stake responsibilities to other organizations.
