Tom Brady, an American football quarterback for the National Football League’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has praised Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin for his contribution to the development of the crypto industry.
Buterin claimed not to know who Brady is after being mocked by many on TIME Magazine for his physical appearance. The Ethereum co-founder shared a user’s comment, which read, “Anyone else think he looks like if Tom Brady did meth?”
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.
