Vitalik Buterin believes in the cloudless future of ETH

Vitalik Buterin, commonly known as Ethereum co-founder, believes ETH can surpass BTC in the context of total market cap and as a tool for saving traders capital.

“That’s quite possible. I think the main difference between these two assets is that the total value of bitcoin and its ecosystem directly depends on its total price. In contrast, ETH is exactly opposite”, Buterin says.

Speaking about another DAO development and further extension, Vitalik noted the Gitcoin DAO and Optimism experiments aimed for mutual wealth and as project models which can positively influence the crypto industry. He believes DAO would become something better, something with a more significant meaning than it is now.

“They definitely would find their place. I don’t see any unbreakable walls. Mostly, it’s a question of small issues that need to be fixed. When will one of the DAOs change strategy, or when will the two DAOs decide to merge? I think we’ll find it out soon enough”, he said.

Rubini: “Central banks of all countries around the world would proceed with their own digital currency”

The economist and well-known BTC critic Nouriel Roubini has no doubt bitcoin would never become a generally accepted currency.

There can be a massive transition of many countries to digital currencies, supported by central banks soon.

“Bitcoin is not a currency, and I cannot advise it as a savings tool so as other altcoins which would probably never become real currencies. Sooner or later, central banks would launch their digital currencies”, said the analytic during Sphere presentation.

Rubini also declares people would abandon cash operations, constantly switching to digital payments. “It’s already in Sweden, China. For payments, people use QR code”, the economist insists.
