Vitalik Buterin Proposed As Nobel Economics Prize Candidate

According to BlockBeats, on October 9, renowned economists Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok suggested Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin as a deserving candidate for the upcoming Nobel Prize in Economics during a podcast this Tuesday. Cowen praised Buterin for his significant contributions to cryptocurrency economics, emphasizing that his work surpasses that of any other economist. He stated, 'Vitalik has built a platform and created a currency that arguably refutes Mises' regression theorem. While he developed on Satoshi Nakamoto's foundation, his achievements undoubtedly reach Nobel Prize levels.' The economists also commended Buterin for leading Ethereum's smooth transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. Tabarrok remarked, 'Have you seen the videos of Saudis changing car tires while driving? That's what Ethereum did. Incredible.' Cowen further highlighted Buterin's personal qualities, describing him as 'very polite' and noting that he would 'perform well at the award ceremony,' also acknowledging his philanthropic efforts.
