Other blockchain news

Ethereum News

  • The Görli Testnet Proposal Proposal - A Call for Participation by Afri Schoedon from team Parity. "Now, that EIP-1011, the hybrid Casper proof-of-work/proof-of-stake testnet idea has been abandoned by latest Ethereum research, Görli could be the next-generation public Ethereum test network", states the post. The Aura EIP is being drafted on Github.
  • Vitalik tweeted
To be clear, I never said that there is "no room for growth" in the crypto ecosystem. I said there is no room for 1000x price increases. A 1000x price increase from today means $200T in crypto, or ~an entire 70% of today's global wealth being in crypto.
What I actually said is that, because large portions of the population have already heard of crypto, further growth of crypto in any sense must come from depth (ie. actual usage), and not bringing in more attention
