Vitalik Buterin Discusses Future of Crypto at TOKEN2049

According to BlockBeats, on September 18, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin delivered a keynote speech titled 'What Excites Me About the Next Decade' at the TOKEN2049 main event. Buterin addressed the common perception that the crypto industry is still in its early stages, emphasizing that significant infrastructure has already been built. He compared the development of the crypto sector to the internet, noting that people have been saying it is early days since Bitcoin's inception. Buterin highlighted that Ethereum has been around for over a decade, and in the 15 years since Bitcoin's launch, transformative technologies like ChatGPT have emerged, revolutionizing the understanding of artificial intelligence. This rapid development prompts a reevaluation of the crypto industry's current phase. Buterin questioned whether it is accurate to still consider the industry as being in its early stages. He concluded by stating that while the crypto sector may not be in its infancy, it is undoubtedly in a unique phase. This perspective encourages a reassessment of how the industry is viewed and approached moving forward.
