Vitalik says I did mistake to choose whole 8 cofounders

In a virtual meeting on twitter, Vitalik Buterin talked about his past mistakes on the Ethereum project.

Yesterday, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin was available on the Ask me anything session and replied to almost everyone about the questions that he received. 

In the meeting, 268 people were involved including leaders & players of the crypto market like Elon Musk. 

The Cornell professor and founder of Ava Labs, the team behind Ethereum competitor Avalanche, Emin Gün Sirer asked a question from Vitalik, what he learned from the past challenges ( through the journey of Ethereum). 

Vitalik Buterin indirectly said that it was a big mistake to choose Co-founders for the Ethereum project. And also he believes that he took the decision quickly, that was also a big mistake.

Vitalik says, it is harder to tighten the group in a small group than he thinks. 

“People are harder to tightly coordinate in small groups than I expected. You can’t just get everyone to sit around in a circle, see each other’s inherent goodness and get along, especially when huge incentive conflicts are at play.”

And on the non-technical question, the experience of the Vitalik was much expected. 

Vitalik says, almost all the Co-founders of Ethereum started their own project and worked separately and few of them exited from this field. 

As we know Ethereum was co-founded by Mihai Alisie, Anthony Di Lorio, Jeffrey Wilcke, Charles Hoskinson, Amir Chetrit, Joseph Lubin, Gavin Wood, and Buterin himself. 

At this time, Joseph Lubin is only the co-founder who is working closely with the Ethereum project with his own project Consensys.

Further at the end , Vitalik said that he feels that Ethereum depends on his less then ever he did fee
