Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin responded to community concerns about his "abandoning mainstream tools and shifting to niche decentralized tools" by stating that blindly chasing "tools everyone uses," even if these tools collect user data and may have backdoors installed by multiple governments, is the mindset that led to the failure of projects like Liberty Reserve; on the contrary, insisting on building and using tools that protect users' sovereignty and freedom is the approach that led to the birth of Bitcoin. He previously announced that he has essentially switched to the decentralized encrypted document tool Fileverse and migrated from Telegram to Signal.
