Vitalik: The biggest risk for ETH is having the strongest decentralization technology but lacking socially meaningful applications.Foresight News exclusive: When answering Foresight News' interview question, "What is the biggest but most overlooked risk currently facing ETH?", Vitalik said: "To be honest, I am not too worried about technical risks anymore. What truly concerns me is actually the application layer. The so-called 'failure scenario' is not the network going down or being hacked, but rather—everyone has indeed developed thousands of applications, but when you look back, you find that none of them truly have social significance. If we possess the most powerful decentralized technology, but only use it to create a bunch of toys or casinos, that would be the greatest risk."

Vitalik: Current prediction markets lack social significance; I have personally made money by betting against the FOMO in the market.BlockBeats news, on January 28, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated in an interview with ForsightNews that the markets currently being heavily promoted on the Polymarket platform include topics such as "Which team will win next week" or "Will the Bitcoin price go up or down in an hour." In the long run, these short-term bets actually do not have much social significance. In theory, prediction markets are successful as a tool, but we need more meaningful applications. Vitalik said that last year he used a principal of $440,000 and made $70,000 on Polymarket. The method was to look for markets that had fallen into "crazy mode" and then bet that "crazy things won't happen." When market sentiment falls into an irrational "crazy mode," betting on the opposite side usually makes money.

Vitalik: Promising directions for AI and crypto at the application layer include AI-powered bank accounts, prediction markets, and content authenticity.Foresight News exclusive: In an interview with Foresight News, Vitalik stated that if we look for intersections between AI and Crypto at the application layer, there are indeed several directions worth paying attention to: First, AI bank accounts. AI cannot open accounts at traditional banks. If an AI Agent needs funds to execute tasks, Crypto is its only option; Second, prediction markets. AI can participate as a trader in prediction markets, providing more accurate information; Third, content authenticity: using blockchain to prove whether content was created by humans or generated by AI.
