Ethereum co-founder Vitalik responds to Devcon India location controversy
on November 1, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted that India accounts for approximately 17% of the global population and has a large number of developers working on Ethereum, zero-knowledge proofs, and other security, privacy, and open technologies, while none of the previous 11 Devcon or Devconnect events have been held in India.
Vitalik expressed his eagerness to engage with the local community. His comments came in response to a post discussing outside criticism over Devcon's decision to host the event in India.
