I didn't even know who Tom Brady is, had to ask people around me. My best guess was that he was the actor from Mission Impossible. pic.twitter.com/MLWVcbtPHc

Buterin expressed his concerns about the future of the rapidly growing crypto industry in an interview with TIME Magazine.
According to Ethereum co-founder, the crypto ecosystem will have to give up some of its potential before it can be considered a right-leaning asset class. He claimed that if it does not become a right-wing thing, it will become prey in the hands of dictatorial governments.
