The Ethereum ecosystem has seen its ups and downs over the past few years, as was expected. Things took a very dark turn when a Vitalik Buterin’s death hoax started to make the rounds on social media. 4Chan, a popular online community for some of the weirder stuff the Internet has to offer, was buzzing with rumors regarding Buterin’s death. Although these claims were false, the Ethereum market cap lost close to $4 billion.
