Vitalik Buterin discută opinii despre Cardano, relația cu Charles Hoskinson

Vorbind la Podcastul lui Lex Fridman în această săptămână Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin spoke candidly about his relationship with Cardano founder and co-founder of Ethereum Charles Hoskinson.

Buterin created Ethereum at the age of 19 and worked with eight developers on the early stages of the project —Charles Hoskinson being one of them. However, while Ethereum was taking off neither Hoskinson nor Buterin could agree on the trajectory for the project.

Buterin wanted to keep Ethereum a non-profit organization with an open-source, decentralized governance. However, Hoskinson wanted to accept venture capital and create a for-profit entity. So, in June 2014 Charles Hoskinson left Ethereum.

After several months away from cryptocurrency and blockchain Hoskinson set up a new project with former colleague Jeremy Wood. Through this, they worked together to build blockchain systems for clients. Their key project was of course Cardano, which hosts its native ADA cryptocurrency.

Buterin on Hoskinson

Vorbind sincer cu Fridman, Buterin a spus că a auzit de la oameni apropiați lui Hoskinson că „Charles a progresat și s-a maturizat în mod clar în multe feluri”.

Buterin a continuat să remarce că „2021 Charles este foarte diferit de 2014 Charles și sunt sigur că 2021 Vitalk este foarte diferit de 2014 Vitalik”.

The Ethereum co-founder also made it clear that the two have demonstrated their different approaches. Where Buterin sees Ethereum as using more heuristic arguments, Cardano looks to academic proofs. Buterin concluded that Hoskinson and the IOHK team are doing some “lucruri interesante. "

It’s interesting to hear Buterin speaking about his former colleague as Proof-of-Stake coins like Cardano are so popular now. Especially as EThereum 2.0 is coming down the track. Its release will likely serve to increase Ethereum and Cardano’s popularity as more investors look to Proof-of-Stake over Proof-of-Work.
