Vitalik Buterin Makes the Case for Ethereum as a Store of Value - Vitalik Buterin argues that ETH should be valued as a store of value and not on a charge-burning basis, which he believes undermines fairness. He criticized the economic model behind wage burning, noting that past burns did not meet the necessary conditions and could lead to higher gas prices, which affect the accessibility of users. • Buterin emphasizes the importance of Ethereum's features such as censorship resistance and security, suggesting that hashish should focus on these features and not just on burning metrics.
