Odaily News On a recent episode of the Bankless podcast, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expounded on the potential of blockchain to enhance democratic resilience through secure, anonymous communication and verifiable voting. Vitalik Buterin emphasized that, likening the information environment to Thomas Hobbess concept of a war of all against all, the monopoly control narrative may become the only stable equilibrium.
