Vitalik is not only extremely smart, has many times demonstrated his abilities, but has also shown himself to be incredibly honest and straight-forward kind of guy when it comes to public utterances. Can you find even a couple of times when he has misled or lied to the public, even a bout a small thing? He comments on technical issues and engineering problems, things he knows a thing or two about.
