Economists Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabbarok proposed Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin as a worthy candidate for the upcoming Nobel Prize in Economics in a podcast on Tuesday.
Cowen praised Vitalik's significant contribution to cryptoeconomics and emphasized that his work far exceeds that of any other economist. He said: "Vitalik built a platform, created a currency, and arguably refuted Mises' regression theorem. Although he developed on the basis of Satoshi Nakamoto, his achievements are undoubtedly Nobel Prize-level." (Benzinga)
