Please take this extremely brief survey to help us obtain more sponsors:\xa0https://survey.libsyn.com/unchained\nThe 23-year-old whiz dives into who blockchains will someday help, how we transition from Ethereum for digital cats to higher social impact, and why even big companies like JPMorgan, Microsoft and BP are using Ethereum. He also walks through some important technical challenges Ethereum faces with scaling and the shift from a proof-of-work consensus algorithm to proof of stake. And he reveals why he isn't a big believer in on-chain governance. Plus, he talks about his worries and gives us his predictions for 2018.\nShow notes: http://www.forbes.com/sites/laurashin/2018/01/09/vitalik-buterin-creator-of-ethereum-on-the-big-guy-vs-the-little-guy/\nSome of Vitalik's blog posts that we discussed: On token sales: http://vitalik.ca/general/2017/06/09/sales.html\nInteractive coin offerings: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~teutsch/papers/ico.pdf\nBlockchain governance: http://vitalik.ca/general/2017/12/17/voting.html\nLearn more about your ad choices.
