The comments were made during a Twitter space held this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Who is Martin Shkreli?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shkreli was the Chief of Turing Pharmaceuticals, a company noted for acquiring a key drug used for combating AIDS, cancer, and malaria. The medication was known as Daraprim. Shkreli was the \u201cPharma Bro\u201d after he championed a monstrous increase in the price of the drug from around $13 to $750.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Authorities ultimately stepped in and Shkreli was charged with securities fraud. In 2017, he was sentenced to seven years in prison. However, the Pharma bro was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/business-61497816\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/business-61497816\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">released a year earlier<\/a> and has supposedly kept in touch with the burgeoning crypto industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Vitalik Buterin Is Full Of Shit and NFTs Are Retarded &#8211; Martin \u201cCrypto Bro\u201d Shkreli<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While serving time in prison, the now rebranded crypto bro claims he stayed up to date with developments in the world of digital assets and blockchain tech. During the twitter space, Shkreli claimed he had access to DeFi tools and became the go-to guy for crypto advice among prison guards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, the ex-con added that he\u2019s familiar with Uniswap and learned how to trade on the decentralized exchange while in the joint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the most notable comments from the former Turing CEO during the Twitter space were supposedly about <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/ethereums-merge-august-vitalik-buterin\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/ethereums-merge-august-vitalik-buterin\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vitalik Buterin<\/a>. Fresh out of prison and armed with insight into the crypto industry, the Pharma Bro opined that Buterin\u2019s trilemma thesis is \u201cfull of shit\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buterin\u2019s trilemma concept argues that blockchain networks must make compromises in a bid to achieve harmony between decentralization, scalability, and security. The new crypto bro said he has no belief in the idea but he does indeed recognize the Ethereum co-founder as a brilliant figure in the blockchain industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NFTs and Web3 also fell under Martin Shkreli\u2019s crypto commentary as he tagged high-profile collections like Yuga Labs\u2019 Bored Ape Yacht Club as \u201cretarded\u201d. Martin added that he\u2019s impressed with the industry but completely uninterested.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crypto community has shared their thought\u2019s regarding his early release and his latest thoughts on the industry. The general sentiment seems opposed to his commentary majorly due to his past pharmaceutical deeds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Simping for evil pharma bro Martin Shkreli is gonna set a new low of the public perception of crypto<br><br>I find it morally problematic even as someone heavily into crypto<\/p>&mdash; zefram.eth (@boredGenius) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/boredGenius\/status\/1527874088487686146?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">May 21, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Why do people celebrate Martin Shkreli?He\u2019s a literal sack of shit.<\/p>&mdash; Peter McCormack \u2620\ufe0f (@PeterMcCormack) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PeterMcCormack\/status\/1527909408428199937?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">May 21, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Martin&#8217;s Twitter account &#8220;@Enrique5060782&#8221; became suspended shortly after the Twitter space. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shkreli returns and has eyes on the world of crypto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":571540,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[825,2],"tags":[7002,4001],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571539"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/55"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=571539"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571539\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":571543,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571539\/revisions\/571543"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/571540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=571539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=571539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=571539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
