In recent events, Ethereum’s decentralization has been questioned with Steven Nerayoff and TruthLabs’ speculations of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) dominance over the blockchain. Pointing out the vulnerabilities of Ethereum, Steven Nerayoff, the blockchain’s former advisor, urged Founder Vitalik Buterin and Co-Founder Joseph Lubin to take immediate action.
Raising the alarm with @BoringSleuth has been crucial. For investors, US citizens, & the Ethereum Foundation’s sake, it’s time to hold Vitalik & Joe Lubin accountable.

Earlier this week, crypto sleuth TruthLabs identified CCP as Ethereum’s “largest hidden whale,” controlling over 66% of ETH supply. TruthLabs’ post also shed light on the alleged role of Prometheum in the potential classification of Ether as a security.

In another post, Nerayoff asserted that the impending dangers that result from CCP’s authority over Ethereum are “inevitable.” Reiterating Ethereum’s key executives as responsible, he cited, “We can’t ignore this; we must confront the corruption, hold key figures accountable, and keep advancing this constantly evolving industry.”
