Justin Drake, researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, talks about the Merge, how this transition affects Bitcoin, where Ethereum’s road map is going, and more.
Show highlights:
- how Justin was feeling prior to and during the Merge
- whether the upgrade is complete or there are other things to watch out for
- why Ethereum has slashing and why it is a better form of removing any attackers
- the concern about centralization due to liquid staking derivatives providers, like Lido or Coinbase
- how the Merge affects MEV and the long-term vision of proposer-builder separation
- whether the Merge puts pressure on BTC to also transition to proof of stake
- what impact ETH’s more deflationary nature will have on BTC’s narrative as digital gold
- why Ethereum is the settlement layer for the internet of value
- whether there is a winner take all dynamic in the blockchain industry
- why Ethereum is more secure than Bitcoin, according to Justin
- what Justin thinks about the ETHPoW fork and its team and the risks of interacting with the ETHPoW fork
- the next steps in Ethereum’s roadmap
Thank you to our sponsors!
