Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin has recently asked the crypto Twitter community to share what they disagree with him on. Some prominent Ethereum developers were quick to use the opportunity and express their thoughts on various subjects.
"What do you disagree with me the most on?" the Ethereum mastermind said on Sunday.
In response, Ethereum developer Tim Beiko said he doesn't agree with Buterin on how "quickly we can ship things." He added that what he "fears" the developers may "never be able to ship quickly enough is a good solution for privacy."
"IMO anything that’s not private by default for the vast majority of users is unlikely to work and the window where it’s possible to ship this is small," Beiko added.
Polynya, a pseudonymous Ethereum researcher, seemed to disagree with Buterin on the subject of soulbound tokens, which are tokens that can’t be sold or separated from their owners.
Buterin has been very vocal about these tokens recently. After initially exploring the idea in a blog post earlier this year, he co-authored a research paper in mid-May explaining how non-transferable Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) can create a richer, pluralistic ecosystem within Ethereum, called “Decentralized Society” (DeSoc). Buterin expected soulbound tokens to be able to encode social relationships of trust.
However, Polynya argued that "identity & reputation are complex and subjective variables that can never be adequately characterized by numbers on a blockchain," adding that SBTs would have a very limited use case.
Others similarly focused on SBTs:
I’m not sure if this is your focus or not, but: The total addressable utility of Soulbound NFTs is minuscule in comparison to utility of off-chain VCs and DiDs, and therefore emphasis
