Vitalik Buterin: Ethereum 2.0 Presents a ‘Much Harder’ Challenge Than We Thought

 Vitalik Buterin says it’s likely that some Ethereum applications may fail, while others succeed but he accepts it as integral to how the project as a whole will move forward.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says he would “freely admit” that Ethereum 2.0 is “much harder” to implement from a technical perspective than he had expected.

Buterin made his remarks during a debate with Bitcoin maximalist Samson Mow on Peter McCormack’s podcast on Aug. 16.

During the debate, the trio discussed the reasons for the “open warfare” between the Bitcoin and Ethereum networks and whether the latter will be able to deliver on its many promises.McCormack, who is self-avowedly “not far off” from a Bitcoin maximalist position, asked Buterin:“Do you ever feel like Ethereum has become a much more challenging project or idea than you originally envisaged, and potentially, you've bitten more than you can chew? And that it gets to the point where there's no turning back?”I definitely freely admit that Ethereum 2.0 is much harder than we expected to implement from a technical perspective,” Buterin said. 

 

He continued:“I definitely don't think that we discovered any fundamental flaws that make it impossible and I do think it will be finished.

 It's just a matter of time and it's actually been progressing quite quickly lately.”Speaking candidly about how he expects the project to develop, Buterin aded that it’s likely some Ethereum applications may fail, while others succeed. But he sees these ebbs and flows in the project’s multiple aspects as being independent of each other:“If Ethereum tries to get into one space, and it turns out it's actually not useful for that space, then fine, you know, those applications will not go anywhere.

 Meanwhile, the other sectors will keep going,” he said.Earlier in the podcast, Samson Mow had criticized Ethereum proponents for purportedly shifting the narrative around the project’s ambitions and goals, arguing that “it's okay to pivot and evolve, but there needs to be a healthy disclaimer that this thing is experimental.

SEC’s discussion with Bitcoin ETF issuers has moved into a key stage

Image
 The SEC is reportedly making significant progress in its discussions with several firms seeking to launch a spot Bitcoin ETF. Reuters reported that discussions have moved into key technical details, and applicants believe it’s potentially leading to the historic approval of the first Spot Bitcoin ETF in the U.S. Currently, there are 13 applications for Bitcoin ETFs awaiting review by the SEC. These applications come from prominent asset management companies, including BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale Investments, and ARK Investments.    Notably, in the past week, several of these firms have made crucial updates to their applications, hinting at the evolving nature of their proposals. Grayscale Investments CEO hints at optimistic scenario for spot Bitcoin ETF The digital asset market has been closely monitoring the situation, speculating on the impact that an approval of a Spot Bitcoin ETF would have.

What’s Causing the Current Bitcoin Crash and How Low Can it Go

Image
 Bitcoin’s price has been very bullish over the last couple of months. However, it is finally showing subtle signs of correction today. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the charts for potential support levels. Technical Analysis Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart  On the daily chart, the price has been blowing past resistance levels one by one. Yet, today’s action has been very bearish, as the daily candle looks very bearish.   The price has dropped around 10% today before rebounding from the $40K support level. In case this level holds, it could initiate a rebound, and the market might rally toward the next significant resistance level, which is located at the $48K mark. On the other hand, a bearish breakout could result in a drop to the $38K and potentially the $31K zone.   BTC Price on The 4-Hour Chart The 4-hour chart demonstrates today’s decline much more clearly. The price has created a double top pattern around the $44,500 mark and proceeded to plunge to...

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Now Invites Participation From Wall Street Banks

Image
 A change to the structure of proposed spot bitcoin ETFs would enable authorized participants (APs) to create new shares in the fund with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency, essentially opening the door to banks who cannot hold crypto directly. A change to the mechanics of BlackRock's proposed spot bitcoin (BTC) ETF opens the door for Wall Street banks, which face restrictions holding cryptocurrencies, to play a key role. BlackRock recently made it so authorized participants – a vital part of the ETF ecosystem – will be able to create new fund shares with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency.   As highly regulated U.S. banks are unable to hold bitcoin themselves, this set-up would enable the likes of JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs – firms with some of the largest balance sheets in the world – to act as APs to BlackRock's ETF. (Whether they want to is another matter.) The cash APs use in this process can then be exchanged into bitcoin by an intermediary and warehoused ...
