Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin provided support behind the so-called Ether Treasury, but warned that the trend could spiral “overdriving games” if handled irresponsibly.
In an interview with a shoreless podcast issued On Thursday, Butling said there are more and more public companies buying and holding Ether (eth) is valuable because they expose the token to a wider range of investors.
“There is definitely valuable service there,” Butling said. He added that buying ETH’s Treasury companies instead of holding tokens directly gives people “more choices”, especially those with “different financial environments”.
The so-called cryptocurrency companies have become the hottest trend on Wall Street, getting billions of dollars in purchases and having a lot of cryptocurrencies to expose traders to tokens, the most popular game is Bitcoin (Bitcoin).BTC) and ether.
Leverage shall not lead to the “fall” of ETH
Butling cautiously eased his support, stressing that the future of ETH must not be at the expense of excessive leverage.
“If you wake me up three years from now and tell my country that the library will lead to the downfall of ETH, then, of course, I guess why it’s basically turned it into an overdose game in some way.”
He outlined the worst chain reaction, in which the price drop in ETH becomes a forced liquidation that forces the price of tokens to fall, which also leads to a loss of credibility.
Is ETH treasury good for Ethereum?@vitalikbuterin Think they can:
“ETH is just a company that can be an asset as part of the Treasury, which is good and valuable…giving people more options is good.”
But he also warned:
