Odaily Planet Daily News In a recent interview, Vitalik Buterin (V God) said: "Crypto projects do not need to be decentralized, IOTA and XRP are still fully centralized, but they are still listed as encrypted assets on CoinMarketCap .”
Buterin also pointed out that "XRP did not apologize for the previous pumping behavior, when (December 2020) they claimed in the document submitted to the US government that XRP should be favored over Bitcoin and Ethereum."
Members of the XRP community expressed displeasure with Buterin's comments. RIZ.XRP stated that Buterin is “killing” other crypto projects besides Bitcoin and Ethereum such as XRP. Other XRP enthusiasts also shared examples to prove that ETH is more centralized than XRP.
This is not the first time Buterin has criticized XRP. In 2020, Buterin urged Ethereum enthusiasts not to defend Ripple in its legal battle with the SEC. (Times Tabloid)
