Australian rapper Iggy Azalea has escalated her feud with Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, apparently accusing he of pocketing the gas fees:
“I’m not mad at this man’s opinion. Whatever. I wonder what they’re doing with gas money. It’s very nice of him to have an opinion on charities and hospitals, whatever… but let’s talk of gasoline rates… the gasoline tax.
The controversial influencer’s strange comment attracted a lot of ridicule within the cryptocurrency community after going viral on social network X (formerly Twitter). Many Ethereum enthusiasts were apparently stunned by Azalea’s lack of basic understanding of how gas fees actually work on the Ethereum blockchain.
Alex DovbnyaMeanwhile, Adam Cochran, partner at Cinneamhain Ventures, claims that Azalea’s recent take actually represents a marketing challenge for the crypto industry. “Iggy thinks Vitalik accepting fees represents the marketing challenge that all cryptocurrencies have. It’s also why I think L2s are the only way to achieve mass consumer adoption. Like most of consumers do not understand the Internet and depend on their ISP to manage connectivity,” he said on social media. mail.
Alex DovbnyaAzalea, who achieved mainstream success in 2014 with several chart hits, returned to the spotlight in late May with the launch of her Mother Iggy (IGGY) token that achieved increase of more than 1,000% in just a week. He later generated some stir within the community by mocking Buterin with a meme on his social media profile after the latter poured cold water on his meme coin.
Azalea apparently isn’t ready to bury the hatchet yet. “Maybe some people sometimes shouldn’t have an opinion, but I respect that you did something. Don’t get me wrong,” Azalea added during a recent podcast appearance.
