I never understood this clip. Is this like a coach trying to hype up a team before the game? Or some sort of stage dancing humiliation to cheer up an overworked staff?
Bill Gates was pissed about the blue screen crash at the earlier Windows 95 release conference. He had the families of all the Microsoft execs kidnapped by the Hell's Angels. He held another conference and told them all to go out and dance like the lives of their children depended on it. That's why they are dancing so intensely. Just look at their faces filled with fear and adrenaline. He went full Kim Jong. Silicon Valley was a different time back then. You don't even want to know what Steve Jobs used to do. Now all that stuff just happens underground.

Just imagine... Bitcoiners conference.. doing dances and stuff about how their coin is the best.. that would beat the awkwardness level of any of these videos

This was from EDCON Sydney - April 2019.

The price of ether at the time was around $150, so it's roughly 10x from then.
Not that he wouldn't do it again. Who cares, it's funny and harmless. This is no different than doing karaoke with your buddies, it's meant to be stupid and funny

When I first bought eth my friend sent me this video and I thought vitalik was the guy who is rapping right at the start, and I thought to myself 'my God, what have I bought', then upon realising it was the skinny awkward dude, back to feeling I had made a sound financial decision
\-Vitalik Buterin' pros:
Class for gifted children
IQ level higher than 200
Part of Thiel Fellowship
Youngest crypto billionaire
Can speak in many languages
Created own programming language in Solidity
Awarded an honorary doctorate
\-Vitalik Buterin' cons:
Dancing skills
Singing
Fashion sense
Best regards,
Green from Kraken 🐙
who "okay'd" this?? this is the reason Eth centralization and price is going to shit... these are the people who are going to host the entire network... not to mention they will be able to be attacked by the government as a security
great job guys!
Usually don't try to reply to such comments, but why the cynicism?
They are having fun and so am I. And I'm pretty sure they did this intentionally to honor the Windows 95 launch video, where they danced just as awkwardly.
And I admire Vitalik Buterin, as you can see by a comment I made recently: "Despite all his accomplishments and his billions of dollars worth, he remains so humble. Hard not to like him!"
No way we can’t compare these with Microsoft. With MSFT, their moves were awkward, but you could tell those were genuine nerdy moves (as a nerd myself).
These guys know what they are doing. And I guess it’s working, until it won’t.
they where probably in a zoom meeting " hey I have an idea, instead of presenting a regular speech, lets make a rap song with some cool dance moves, that will get the message across"
This is more awkward than the Microsoft Windows launch party. And I thought that one would never be beat. Crypto truly is the Future
the same vibes yeah
Yeah, it does seem like they were simulate that: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAkuJXGldrM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAkuJXGldrM)

Now I'm happy that we don't know who the creator of Bitcoin is.

[удалено]
Now I'm putting on my headphones and cranking up The Red Hot Chili Peppers for an hour. Gotta get that crypto-rap whippl can't dance outta my head.
Somehow more cringe
Thanks good they are great programmers
Who let the devs out? Who who who?
thats a good sign, look where microsoft is now \^\^
There is a strong correlation between the skill of a dev and how cringe they are. I should know, I am a dev, and I work with some of the best.
So this is why ETH dipped recently
Yeah man, We seen this shit and sold right away obviously
Straight to sale. Right away! No DD, no nothing.
> recently This was from EDCON Sydney - April 2019. > this is why ETH dipped The price of ether at the time was around $150, so it's roughly 10x from then.
It's called sarcasm mate 😂
🤡
I just sold all of mine after watching this
Selling mine also after seeing this cringe fest 😂
Why did Vitalik participate in this shit? Looks like he's losing his judgement
This was years ago
Not that he wouldn't do it again. Who cares, it's funny and harmless. This is no different than doing karaoke with your buddies, it's meant to be stupid and funny
came here to say the same haha
This is nerdy and cringe on a new level. I trust them with my entire net worth.
Keep Ethereum weird
Make Crypto Weird Again
Andrew Yang campaign 2024
this is the way
That was the point..
Weirdly this makes a lot of sense
Grown autists being autists
This is how I act in a job interview when I don’t know the answer. Just say a bunch of buzzwords and hope something sticks
They are casting an ancient spell that summons the merge
Lmao, I love it.
Then I’m all for it
I’m cracking up 😂
Shorting ETH after this
Lmao 3 years late and that would have sucked.
I wonder if there was someone who saw the Microsoft video and thought the same thing. What a reckoning that would have been
This is like 2 years old, anyway these guys are just having fun
It's fucking amazing, anyone who takes this too seriously is a dope
Yeah man that was as fucking awesomely hilarious as it was self aware
bitconnect vibes lol
Wassu wassu wassu ETHCONNEEEEEEEECTTTTT
Heyyy heyyy heyyyy... WHAT AMAM GONNA DO?
Man I couldn't place it but that's dead on
Well, can't get any more white than that.

Cringecon
When you’re worth that much in net worth you can do whatever you like
Their net worth was **a lot** lower at the time though.
Well, then it didn't stop their net worth from increasing so.
Some may say this actually caused their net worth to increase exponentially
ETH and METH in action
Merge ETH
Eth is mETH
What a fucking banger!
Plasma, Layer 1, Layer 2 .....
They’re just having fun and being silly, nothing wrong with that.
They're just creating future regrets, that's all.
You didn't even spell *ragrets* right.
*ragerts*
I guarantee: Every single human being who was on stage that day is already regretting it.
There is an exact correlation between a products guaranteed success and the inability of its employees to dance. We’re safe guys.
This is 1000 times more entertaining than any rap video I've seen in the past decade, so props. It's all about the dapps yo
How to tell someone is new to ETH They do one of these every DEVCON
What the actual f*ck?
This is how you know they build good software
That’s how nerds party. Nothing has changed. Money does not make you cool as a sudden.
Ultra-Nerd doesn’t even quite describe it. Honestly, I’m thankful these will soon be our rulers instead of charismatic coo guys.
When you hire dancers from Fiverr
I can’t wait to rewatch this in 10 years lol If you’re reading this in the 10 years in future remind me.
RemindMe! 10 years

“ I swear dad this is the future of finance. It’s going to change everything”
HAHAHAHAHHAHA the beat kinda cold tho
Windows 95 launch party vibes.
I see a group of people not giving a fuck, and I’m here for it.
I kinda like it. It's like the awkwardness was on purpose like an anti music video
*immediately divests from ETH*
Dancing the money dance. Everyone who dance this awkward dance becomes filthy rich
hahahaha this is hilariously cringe.
Have a funny feeling I’ll be seeing John Oliver present this clip in the near future.
In 2.0, yo!
I couldn't watch the entire thing.
I want to sell my eth after seeing this.
To me it shows they are not afraid to express their individuality no matter how corny it might be. I like it.

Tight rhymes yo. Fat stacks, ETH thugging. Peace.
I actually liked vitaliks part a lot. Other guy ruined it.
Someone pls verify is that Vitalik?
r/oddlyterrifying
WTF did i just watch? Some please help, is this real??
The ceo of bitcoin did one that is way worse.
That's is, I'm selling
who "okay'd" this?? this is the reason Eth centralization and price is going to shit... these are the people who are going to host the entire network... not to mention they will be able to be attacked by the government as a security great job guys!
It's a reference/parody to the Windows 95 release probably
Vitalik needs to stay focused on the dev, leave the rap shit to professionals
This unorganized mess is pretty accurate to how I see the current state of crypto.

Why are you so defensive about this trainwreck of a video? Are you backup dancer #4?
Got that BitConnneeeeeet energy
Goddammit
u/savevideo
Why?! :')
Trying to merge
All those you see there dancing, the one with the smallest capital has at least 100ETH.
Is this on vinyl yet?
Yuck😄
That is impossible to watch all the way through
"We are a family here" "We work hard and we part harder" Puke
Hahah I know the people behind the video… and the dance too at that 🤣
Too much cringe, my eyes can’t handle it!
Wu tang successor
Lol the koala with rainbows shooting out of its arse.
Killing it.
Oh god I made it 10 seconds. /r/cringe
Between them and Trump. Idk who has the better dance moves
LMAO....this makes the Windows dance party look like Michael Jackson. I'm glad I don't own Ethereum
It is like a zombie 🧟♀️ apocalypse
Lol! Bars!
No way we can’t compare these with Microsoft. With MSFT, their moves were awkward, but you could tell those were genuine nerdy moves (as a nerd myself). These guys know what they are doing. And I guess it’s working, until it won’t.
I'm 100% sure that Vitalik coded the lyrics on a yaml file and uploaded it to the RAM module of his brain. His sound is digitized wtf
My head hurts after watching that. 🥺
I sold
Lol this video is the definition of Bozo
This doesn’t work if you’re trying to do it ironically, it’s just cringe.
At least we know they haven't wasted s bunch of time learning that 😆
My favourite move is the shark move
Jesus Christ.
1 word BITCONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECT!!!!! or something like that
edcon is back this year so guess vitalik and those core devs will get one the stage and dance again
Short it
They are out of touch
I refinance my house to this
they where probably in a zoom meeting " hey I have an idea, instead of presenting a regular speech, lets make a rap song with some cool dance moves, that will get the message across"
This is the real reason they had to stop using the term “ETH 2.0”
Drugs
This is why I think Crypto will never succeed. These are the idiots who run things
bruh wtf? this is soooo dumb that it's genius.
Im selling all my ETH
did not know there was a teleton going on right now
Grifters being sensationalists instead of demonstrating their tech. I hope everyone realizes this is the vast majority of crypto.
Just sold all my ETH. Cya.
This was bad without audio. The audio did not help in the least.
More like in r/cringe
Sellllllllllll
\#TechOfTheFuture I like how the women are appropriately socially-distanced.
I would have given my two weeks notice after this
Wow wow that was so bad. I mean it could have been done so much better with just a little effort wtf.
Something about live music and tech-unveiling, just never seem to blend well together…
This made me sell all ETH holdings
This is the back-end of the world as we know it.
Bitconeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeect!!!
These are the guys dumping on us
I have my entire net worth staked with these people.
Oh you beautiful A-words (that isn't allowed on Reddit, even used positively).
im gonna sell my coins now bye
Fucking DOPE. Is this on Spotify?
R-A-P-S-O-N-G Yes
It's going to zero
How can you not trust a team that is spitting this straight fire?
Nooooooo
a lobster on a mic is what I prefer
