, the eminent Canadian-Russian programmer says that those members of the industry who are actually building things would “welcome” another bear market. Falling prices will be able to flush out speculative excess in the crypto space, according to Buterin:

The number one coin receives under severe pressure, currently trading at just above $38,000 after recovering to $45,850 on Feb. 10. Bitcoin is down 44.56% from its record high.
