"His viewpoints don't take into account the fact that the code has to be audited by an auditing firm and approved by consortium or it doesn't get accepted. He thinks it exists in a bubble. That's why we have ERC-20, ERC-721...

Some users tweeted showing that they were surprised by his ERC standard “in order to school a crypto troll.†Shatner has spoken out about blockchain and cryptocurrency in the past and on Twitter. Earlier in the week, we saw Shatner tweet about Ethereum and Buterin saying:
The crypto world initially beamed up Shatner last year when he endorsed token sales publicly. Then, in June this year, the actor announced that he was representing Solar Alliance, an alternate energy develop aiming to create a Bitcoin mining facility in Illinois which was completely solar powered.
