Crypto Industry News:
Wrapping up the last decade, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has re-examined his predictions over the years.
Buterin started a thread on Twitter referring to his July 23, 2013 article in which he highlighted Bitcoin's key benefits - internationality and censorship resistance. Buterin predicted Bitcoin's potential to protect the purchasing power of citizens in Iran, Argentina, China, and Africa.
He also noticed an increase in stablecoin adoptions while seeing Argentine companies operating in Tether (USDT). He supported his decade-long ideas about the negative effects of Bitcoin regulation.
The trader continued to believe that "internet money shouldn't cost more than 5 cents per transaction," and highlighted Ethereum's continued efforts to improve the scalability of the Blockchain chain.
On the other hand, Buterin backed off his support for Bitcoin Cash, stating that communities formed around rebellion, even when acting for a good cause, often struggled in the long run, adding that they "value courage over competence and are united around resistance and not a coherent way forward. "
Summarizing the results, Buterin supported the intuition that helped him correct mistakes early on, stating:
"In terms of technology, I was more right about abstract ideas than about production software development. I had to learn to understand the latter over time," he said.
