Vitalik Buterin Warns Of Risks Associated With Political Tokens

According to Odaily, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently expressed concerns on X about the significant risks posed by political tokens, particularly the potential for "unrestricted political bribery." He highlighted that over the past year, a new order has emerged where the world's most influential figures are encouraging the creation of various types of tokens, with no limits on their scale. Buterin emphasized that this issue goes beyond the contrast between short-term gratification and long-term value building, drawing a parallel between addictive modern mobile games and traditional games like chess or World of Warcraft. He believes that large-scale political tokens have transcended the realm of entertainment, becoming potential tools for unrestricted political bribery, possibly even involving foreign entities.
