Vitalik is the perfect guy to work with google specially building their blockchain. If he is going to choose google, i am pretty sure that there will be some restrictions for him to limit his self working with ethereum. That might bring a negative impact to the community but still, he is one hell of a genius so I am pretty sure that he will pick the great choice. It also a great advertisement for ethereum too.

Lol what's wrong with that? Butterin is a talented person. But he has done wrong by published it and try to created a public pool about that. But i guess we will see ethereum will much bigger in the future.
EEA become the largest crypto organization right now.

How is it wrong of him to ask his followers for their opinion? What I think was wrong of him to do, was to not block out the other person's details. He clearly wanted to gauge the overall reaction of the public should he decide to move over to Google.

If Buterin suddenly get a job in google then it will be a fun beginning for both artificial intelligence and for Google which will switch to blockchain technology. Eh technology.

I've seen that news yesterday that he created a poll and once deleted it.
If I were on his shoes, it's a good opportunity to work for google and while he's there he can still develop ethereum right?
Whatever bothers him it's a win-win situation for him, whether he leave ethereum or not, he's rich enough and can stand on his own.

I think it almost will not affect Ethereum, Vitalik is a really talented person who can decide what's best for him.

I don't understand why Vitalik consults his followers about a personal decision that only concerns him. I would understand if he asked if working on Google is compatible with continuing as an Ethereum developer in case he considers that there may be a conflict of interest, however, it seems that what he asked was whether he should join Google and quit Ethereum or not, and that is a decision that only he can make.

Being a developer of a platform like ethereum is a huge achievemebt for Vitalik Buterin. Eth has opened the gates to blockchain technology used in many other ways besides peer to peer money transfer. Vitalik has magneted a lot of people because indeed the ethereum network has been delivering great results.

Google will usually buy companies in a space that they want to move into, but how do you buy a Blockchain? You can't. Your next best option is that you hire the top talent with knowledge that you want to integrate into your own products. If this information turns out to be more than a rumour it could mean that Google is getting ready to integrate Etherium into its own product offerings.

wow to be honest this is indeed really big news. Do think that this is now a good point to  you google stocks? And how are the chnaces that he really signed at google ?

Think this is just a joke to be honest, can't really see Google going round asking people like that and it's pretty obvious he's not going to accept, expect he still holds a lot of ETH.

Is that really happening or are those the edited screenshots by some person. I dont think google will go and communicate with the Vitalik over a mail ask for the recruitment chance. I know he is far too talented and created a whole new world of possibilities out in the field. But thats completely insane and I am so sorry to say that it does look fake news to me. But who knows what the truth as it is published with cointelegraph too. I am not sure what the truth here but giant like Google can just meet him in person to ask him respectfully whether he wants to work with them or not.

I know for sure things like this is going to be happening in the space, big companies start poaching on blockchain talent, this is a good thing for him if he can work under other people because there won't be freedom like he has now, but I do fear for Ethereum because he could be tempted to start talking all these good developers Ethereum has along with him

It seems to be ok for me. Google is the one who purchased android when it was dissed by Microsoft. Now, if they would work with Vitalik, they might be up to something BIG!

Obviously a talented individual and a visionary coder, but I cannot see why he would be interested to go and work for another company when he is the master of his own creation at Ethereum.

I have two opinions. On the one hand, Google is cool. And accordingly, the product on the blockchain should turn out just great.
On the other hand, if Vitalik goes to Google, he will be less involved in the Ethereum project. It will have a bad effect on its price, and therefore on our well-being.

wow, does it mean they are looking to develop their own crypto, they need him to make a successfull project, i hope it is true, it would mean a lot of pump for crypto

Google doesnt know any shit about cryptocurrencies,why would they bother to ?
