Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin just dropped a major reality check for the crypto community. Vitalik made it clear where the line between protocol neutrality and personal opinion is, in a move that's causing a stir in the "narrative noise." His message is clear: Ethereum is for everyone, no matter what he thinks of your project. Ethereum Is Not a Religion ​Vitalik was crystal clear—you don’t need his blessing to use the network. The blockchain remains open, regardless of your disagreement with his views on DeFi, AI, or even his preference for Berlin's food. ​"The whole concept of 'permissionlessness' and 'censorship resistance' is that you are free to use Ethereum without caring what I think."

Vitalik is reminding us that Ethereum is neutral infrastructure, similar to the HTTP protocol used on the internet, by reiterating this point. It doesn't take sides, and it doesn't gatekeep based on politics or personal philosophies.

versus Permissionless "Corposlop"

​While the protocol is neutral, Vitalik made it clear that he is not. He defended his right to criticize what he refers to as "corposlop," which he describes as low-value, corporate-optimized products that place an emphasis on short-term profit over user empowerment. These products are frequently targeted at prediction markets and "sanitized" corporate projects. ​The key takeaways from his statement:

​Protocol Neutrality: The base layer must remain impartial and censorship-resistant.

Individual Expression: Developers and leaders are free to express their disapproval of applications. Criticism is not censorship; it’s free speech.

No "Pretend Neutrality": Vitalik opposed the corporate practice of silence to please all parties. He believes that people should clearly state their beliefs. Why It's Important for $ETH This is a huge endorsement of Ethereum's decentralization, not nonsense. The system is working exactly as intended if the co-founder can publicly dislike a project but does not have the authority to prevent it from running on the network. Ethereum is not a closed community; rather, it is a digital commons where "saints and sinners" share a common code.$ETH
