Damn, I haven't expected to see this level of ponzi schemes... how is it even possible that people are interested in buying these coins? The whole project appears to be a joke at best and still, people buy into it. But is it really Vitaliks fault? Is there even something that he could do to avoid it? In the end, Ethereum is a platform for decentralized apps offering a Turing-complete language (Solidity) to implement Smart Contracts. The part which seems normal and always happened with new technologies is the one where scammers try to utilize new technology to scam unsuspecting people. The part which is absolutely new and confusing to me, is the one where people knowingly buy into such a scam, that doesn't even bother to hide the fact that it's a straight out scam / ponzi. That's a very disturbing lesson you just taught me...
