CoinVoice recently learned that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said in his keynote speech “What Excites Me About the Next Decade” on the first day of the TOKEN2049 main venue:

People tend to say it's still early days for crypto, we're still building the infrastructure. Really, how long did it take for something like the internet to come to fruition, and I think people have been saying that almost since Bitcoin was launched. And one of the real challenges we face now is that it's no longer early days for crypto today.

Ethereum as a project has been around for over 10 years, and in the 15 years since Bitcoin was created, we’ve seen things like ChatGPT go from being completely non-existent to suddenly rising to prominence and revolutionizing the way people understand AI.

So the question we have to ask ourselves is how exactly should we view all of this? Are we really still in the early stages? My answer to this question is that I don’t think we are early in the crypto space, but we are definitely in a special stage. [Original link]
