    Buterin's Social Post

    In his recent social media post, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin took aim at VC-funded projects that primarily offer flashy appearances. The crypto luminary used the popular unfinished horse meme to make his point.

    Criticism of Projects

    In Buterin's version of the meme, the front part of the horse, representing elements like 'VC raise' and 'Homepage,' appears detailed, while the middle part labeled 'Documentation' shows very little detail. The back part, representing 'Product,' is extremely poorly drawn. Buterin has clearly mocked projects that prioritize appearance over substance.

    «Ok come on georgios, you really need to up your meme game to match your rust coding skills. Highly unbalanced stats are fine for PvE, not for PvP. You can at least do this: [pic.twitter.com/H3UDnZIElV](https://t.co/H3UDnZIElV)»vitalik.eth

    Community Reaction

    Some community members noted that Buterin is showing that memes are 'the most optimal' means of communication. Others praised the crypto genius for further exploring his 'meme-ark' and bringing more humor to the Web3 space. The Canadian programmer used a gaming metaphor in his post to explain that the lack of a viable product is detrimental for companies in competitive PvP environments.

    Vitalik Buterin's post sparked widespread discussion in the crypto community, highlighting the importance of substance in projects and the need for a balance between form and content.
