Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) creator Vitalik Buterin clashed with economist Nouriel Roubini after the latter criticized cryptocurrency, saying they were not really easy to use.
What Happened: In a tweet on Monday, Buterin reminded users that they should test their decentralized apps (dapps) with at least one non-MetaMask wallet.
Remember that you should always test your dapp with at least one non-metamask wallet (eg. Brave, Status browser). Make sure your dapp conforms to ethereum standards, and not just to accidental properties of one particular wallet!MetaMask is a browser extension that serves as a cryptocurrency wallet and helps users interact with decentralized applications on Ethereum.— vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) May 31, 2022
Buterin’s advice was to make sure dapps conform to Ethereum standards across browsers and not to one particular wallet.
His comments drew a response from economist and long-term cryptocurrency skeptic Roubini, who earned the nickname ‘Dr. Doom’ for his bearish predictions.
Roubini said one would need a Ph.D. to understand Buterin’s instructions – the nature of which he perceived to be highly complex.
So much for the simplicity and ease of use of crypto. You need a PhD in cryptography to make sense of these instructions… https://t.co/B8tYL04bj4Buterin in response indicated that Roubini was seeing complications where there were none.— Nouriel Roubini (@Nouriel) May 31, 2022
Me: when you're building a car, make sure to add BOTH a seatbelt AND airbags. Two factor safety is better than one!See Also: HOW TO BUY ETHEREUM (ETH)Nouriel: wow cars have so many buzzwords and things people have to worry about. Driving is NGMI.
