Decentralize with Cointelegraph

This episode of Decentralize with Cointelegraph features an in-depth conversation with Ethereum co-founder and Consensys CEO Joe Lubin. Lubin delves into the SEC’s attempts to classify Ether as a security and the broader legal battle in which Consensus is involved.
Lubin weighs up the damage of regularity uncertainty in the U.S., its impact on Ethereum ecosystem participants and the costs the wider cryptocurrency industry has incurred.
The Ethereum co-founder also discussed Ethereum’s ongoing roadmap, the importance of modularization, and the layering approach for scalability. Staking, the return on investment for validators, and the inherent risks are also unpacked at length.
EigenLayer is another topic of discussion. Lubin explains how innovations like retaking and elastic security resources will transform startup operations in the blockchain space.
The Consensys CEO also discusses the Solana ecosystem and how Bitcoin shaped his journey into the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain. Lastly, he recaps Vitalik Buterin’s ongoing influence on the Ethereum ecosystem.

In the latest episode of Decentralize with Cointelegraph, Joe Hall provides an inside look into Web Summit 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal. This tech juggernaut gathers crypto enthusiasts and industry insiders annually to explore trends, but skepticism abounds about the recognition of crypto at the summit.
Coinext CEO José Artur Ribeiro humorously describes the focus on crypto as “tiny,” highlighting its discreet positioning. Cointelegraph editor-in-chief Kristina Lucrezia Corner mentions AI is taking the spotlight but sees a potential crypto resurgence if the first spot Bitcoin ETF is approved in the United States.
