Vitalik Buterin's Robot "Meow" Sends Crypto Markets Purring With Concern
The cryptocurrency community has responded with mixed sentiments about the video. Crypto influencer Wendy O said, “The future of Ethereum is in this man’s hands… Meow,” while Cork Protocol co-founder Phil Fogel shared that despite the unusual interaction, he remains “bullish” on Ethereum.
Many crypto traders expressed concerns about their investments given Buterin’s unconventional public persona. Pseudonymous trader Scott Crypto Warrior shared the video with his 514,300 followers with the caption, “Pray for our ETH bags.” Another commentator, The Count of Monte Crypto, expressed stress about having investments tied to Buterin.
The timing of the video coincides with Ethereum’s significant price decline. Since reclaiming the $4,000 level in December 2023, ETH has fallen approximately 55%. Current trading data from CoinMarketCap shows Ethereum priced at $1,841, with a 13.34% drop over the past month.
Not all reactions have been negative. Crypto trader Alex Becker stated, “I can’t fathom looking at a sub $2k ETH and thinking you’re not going to be in big profit sometime in the next 2 years. Easiest asset trade in biblical history right now.”
This isn’t Buterin’s first display of quirky public behavior. During Token2049 Singapore in September 2023, he called out “cringe” anthems for crypto projects and spontaneously sang on stage, which received positive reactions from both live and online audiences.
Meanwhile, Castle Island Ventures’ Nic Carter has attributed Ethereum’s declining investment appeal to layer-2 solutions draining value from the main network and lack of community resistance to excessive token creation.
Buterin himself has not yet addressed the viral robot interaction on his social media channels.
