PANews reported on January 22 that Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and founder of Consensys, responded to recent Ethereum-related controversies: "One of Vitalik Buterin's greatest qualities is his way of making decisions. When a problem arises, he listens and gathers information, weighs all factors, and makes a decision when he believes he has weighed most of the necessary data. The best way forward is to realize that he has heard all of us and things are moving forward. Threats to harm or attempts to coerce are deeply disturbing and counterproductive. The Ethereum Foundation (EF), Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA), and ConsenSys have multiple ongoing projects that will reshape the way Ethereum "enters the market" in the near future. From what I've seen, there will be so many high-value plans made public soon that you will be dazzled. It's best to stay calm and not lose your mind before the wave starts."
