Ethererum co-founder Anthony Di Iorio said he was severing ties with the crypto industry due to personal security concerns and because he no longer wanted to be known as the crypto guy. .

His risk profile doesn’t excite me too much, Di Iorio told Bloomberg. I don’t necessarily feel safe in this space. If I focused on bigger issues I think I would be safer.

Di Iorio also told Bloomberg he would sell his business, Decentral, a software development company focused on decentralized technologies, to create a philanthropic foundation next year. He added that he plans to sell the company for fiat, or shares in another company, not crypto.

I want to branch out so that I’m not a crypto guy, but a guy who tackles complex issues, Di Iorio told Bloomberg.

I will integrate crypto when needed, but often I don’t, he added. It really is a small percentage of what the world needs.

Di Iorios’ comments follow Dogecoin co-founder Jackson Palmer, who had harsh words about crypto last week, calling it an inherently right-wing hyper-capitalist technology designed primarily to amplify the wealth of its supporters through to a combination of tax evasion, diminished regulatory oversight and artificially enforced scarcity, in a Twitter rant. Palmer added that he would wholeheartedly return to cryptocurrency.

Palmer has criticized everything about the industry, from lack of regulation to cult regimes, get-rich-quick and buy-in influencers, as well as the powerful cartel of wealthy figures who control it.

It doesn’t fit my politics or my belief system, and I don’t have the energy to try to discuss it with those who don’t want to engage in a grounded conversation, he tweeted. .

The story continues

Cryptos in general have collapsed over the past few weeks. Bitcoin is at $ 30,600 this morning, down 3.44% in the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap, and down more than 50% from its all-time high of $ 65,000 in April.
