Vitalik Twitter Poll
Poll for Ethereum community. You wake up in 2035, and 80% of all transactions + savings in the world are in one currency that is not ETH. Which would you prefer it to be?

Yesterday, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted a Twitter poll for the “Ethereum community.” “You wake up in 2035, and 80% of all transactions + savings in the world are in one currency that is not ETH. Which would you prefer it to be?” And, obviously, things got wild.
Based on the results, it appears the Ethereum community isn’t the one voting, like Vitalik intended. ADA (Cardano’s native token) got off to an early lead. After the poll was up for around 4 hours, ADA was ahead off BTC by almost 12%.
Charles Hoskinson Responds
Cardano’s success in the poll might have something to do with Charles Hoskinson, CEO of Cardano, and fellow co-founder of Ethereum.

One has to wonder if Hoskinson appreciated the shoutout from Ethereum, considering his use of “V.” I imagine it’s been years since the two have been on a first letter basis.

Bitcoin Community Fires Back
However, the BTC online community decided that they couldn’t face such an indignity as losing to Cardano — even though they share UTXO. As of press time, ADA is only ahead by one percent. The Hoskinson-led project currently has 40.7% share of the votes, while BTC holds 39.8%.
Vitalik’s poll closes at 4pm EST. With only hours to go, Hoskinson is still rallying the troops.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter who wins because the only clear cut loser here is boredom.
