In a recent podcast interview with The Stakeborg Talks, co-founder of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin spoke candidly on a wide range of issues, including his early attraction to mathematics and problem-solving, the potential of decentralized autonomous organizations, or DAOs, his perspective on Bitcoin’s community and the nonfungible token, or NFT, space. Answering an inquiry as to his preference for career title, Buterin — a modest entrepreneur with an animated passion for his profession — referred to himself as a tech philosopher, and as such, perhaps, coined the term. Paraphrasing the infamous scholar and warrior quote from Athenian historian Thucydides, Buterin drew perspectives on the shifting dichotomy between the tech industry's dogma of continual advancement and the abstract space carved out for thought-leaders in philosophy.
