An Extensive Interview Covering Everything with Vitalik

Almost every Ethereum-related hot topic is covered in this extensive interview. The topics include:

Vitalik's Bold Challenge to Craig Wright, BSV Supporters Respond

Ethereum founder Vitalik, during a segment about Craig Wright (self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto, aka "Faketoshi"), boldly stated that he believes Craig Wright is a fraud and turned to the camera saying, "Yes, I still think you're a fraud, come sue me!"

This sparked a backlash from supporters of Bitcoin Cash's fork version, BSV camp, who claimed that Vitalik's comments on Craig Wright were untrue and biased.

Musk Joins the Fray with Praise

Interestingly, Musk also expressed agreement with the interview: "I agree with what Vitalik said." However, he did not specify which part he agreed with.
