Vitalik Buterin on Institutions and Cypherpunks

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has highlighted the intricate relationship between institutions, such as governments and corporations, and the cypherpunk community. In his recent statement, Buterin noted that these entities are neither natural allies nor adversaries. He emphasized that institutions often adopt strategies to strengthen control within manageable limits while defending against external threats. This approach leads them to prioritize data sovereignty and security more than the average user.
