Vitalik Buterin Questions The Use Of 'Smart' In Technology

According to Odaily, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently expressed his skepticism about the term 'smart' in technology on the X platform. Buterin highlighted that historically, the term has often been used to make centralized control and data breaches appear more appealing. He urged users to ask specific questions about whether a wallet's design genuinely protects users from centralized malicious actions and their own mistakes. Buterin emphasized that well-designed wallets can indeed achieve this protection, while poorly designed ones might have the opposite effect.
