The co-founder of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin is in the cryptocurrency news again, this time for accenting his disapproval of Bitcoin Cash ‘Satoshi’s Version’ (BSV). Buterin called the new hard fork of the altcoin “a pure dumpster fire” in a response to a tweet with the cryptocurrency commentator and businessman Tuur Demeester on Christmas Day.
The discussion also included Buterin’s stance towards the Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) which are the algorithms used by cryptocurrency developers in building their assets.
As he said in his Twitter rant:
“I have my disagreements with the Bitcoin roadmap, PoW, etc., but they’re trying to do something that’s genuinely cool tech,” he responded, before calling BSV a “pure dumpster fire.”
Yeah no, I have my disagreements with the bitcoin roadmap, PoW, etc but they're trying to do something that's genuinely cool tech. BSV is a pure dumpster fire.

Buterin also made it clear that he is not a believer in the Proof-of-Work (POW) algorithm at one point of the discussion. However, he also said that he remains optimistic about the kind of technology that is being developed.
I don't believe in proof of work!

Previously this year, Buterin has called Craig S. Wright a “fraud” to his face at an event. Earlier this month, he was in the news for making investments in three different ETH-based startups, where he donated 1,000 ETH tokens to each startup working on the development of Ethereum 2.0.
