Proof-of-Vitalik: Ethereum’s Buterin Immutably Counters Death Rumors

Ethereum Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin has countered bizarre reports he had died in a car crash with cryptographic proof.
On Sunday, certain pseudo-news and social media resources began reporting the celebrated developer’s body had been pulled from wreckage lifeless.
Buterin then posted a tweet refuting the information in classic style, using the Ethereum Blockchain as proof he was still alive and kicking.

The story appears to have stemmed from fake news website Vionews, which released a now-deleted article which made references to Buterin from “Ethereum” as “confirmed” dead in a crash in British Columbia.

Totally Fake News.....

The report continued to suggest that Ethereum’s weekend falls were a result of Buterin’s death, while the coin’s downturn had in fact begun prior to the “news” surfacing.
Last week saw multiple ICOs put considerable pressure on the Ethereum network, the most recent of which saw a backlog of nearly 10,000 transactions on Saturday as TenX concluded its token sale.
The erroneous news is a useful demonstration of Ethereum’s newly-acquired public profile, the asset increasingly becoming a household name after years as an unknown.

Do not believe in fake news from VIONEWS.

Happy Steeming

Sort:  

looks like some fake news portal , news like this is very misleading. by the way thanks bro for sharing the fact.

No problem cause we need a community to help here as we know there are ETH haters that will hurt ETH price or some big whale that start their dirty tricks to buy ETH price when it crash.

Fake news is constantly published by the media. Talking about a bubble etc.
We are still in the 'early adoption' phase which means it is a great opportunity to invest right now.
Prices are down and will quickly go up again. Invest now and end up with a huge profit!
