ChainCatcher message, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin responded to the discussion about "Ethereum-related companies needing to actively engage with funds, institutions, and countries to encourage them to purchase ETH" by stating, "I strongly support engaging with funds, institutions, and countries, and I also support discussing ETH from an asset perspective. ETH, as an asset, is an important part of the Ethereum social organism. I do not believe that the Ethereum Foundation (EF) is necessarily the best role to do all of this.The world is large, and Ethereum is large as well; a more effective approach is to support various local organizations (including large enterprises) around the world, as they have a deeper understanding of their respective local situations."
