Vitalik Buterin (one of the most prominent voices in cryptocurrency, and also the co-founder) claimed that his influence on Ethereum has been declining, making it difficult to bring things about.

Buterin’s Decreasing Influence Over Ethereum

Buterin, who had recently expressed concerns that the crypto industry has a ‘lot of dystopian potential if implemented wrong,’ believes his influence over Ethereum now is not what it was six months ago.

Speaking at an interview with the American tech entrepreneur and investor Naval Ravikant, Buterin says he feels like his “influence in Ethereum keeps decreasing every six months.”

It’s Becoming Harder to Make Changes at Ethereum

Buterin also explained that the process of making things happen on Ethereum is “definitely more vetocratic” than it was three years ago, making it harder to make changes to the Ethereum protocol. Buterin also noted that

“Even now, I feel like the window is closing on substantial things. It’s getting harder to do big things even today.”

Buterin believes that not all of his Ethereum Improvement Plans (EIPs) are being taken seriously. In addition, he needs to try pretty hard to satisfy all people’s concerns.

He points to the EIP-4488 as the biggest initiative he promoted that wasn’t adopted. Buterin suggested the EIP-48888 amendments that would lower the costs of Ethereum rollups in the near term.
