Vitalik Buterin: Full Blockchain Insider Interview

Simon's in the studio...and Colin's coming to us from a field.

In our first interview from our new offices in Devonshire Square we're talking to Vitalik Buterin about blockchain and Ethereum.

Our hosts ask the founder of Ethereum some interesting questions on the blockchain as a whole, smart contracts, gatekeeping partcipants and the uses of blockchain outside of financial incentives.

We hope you enjoy the show and, as ever, don't forget to subscribe!

Vitalik will be more famous than steve jobs.

How good is Vitalik explaining this stuff!! That's amazing. On the other hand you should get a backup battery next time u get him on camera! XD

[Superb_virg]

one of the smartest guys around and explains things amazingly in leymans terms. Many technical people could learn this from him.

[dandymoderne]

Vitalik Buterin is the new Steve Jobs ! Make us dream

[YG-zxtv]

good interviewer and Vitalik is very smart but obviously very nervous too, it's mostly due to his age I guess, yet to hit mid 20s even...I bet he'd get better at lectures/interviews in the future.

[jameszeallor]

Commenting on it's like Mercury Mars and Venus networking through the Sun brings thoughts of the harmonious allighnment and how other higher planets people quickly integrate their software.

So Plasma is like storing one giant receipt into the blockchain.

Thanks for sharing this higly informational piece of progress on the Ethereum chain. I just made an observation, thats when Vitalik is talking about sharding at 12:53. I couldn't help realizing he is talking about Matrix AI Network's delegate system, which is exactly doing this, plus integrating another layer of verifying nodes. The POW + POS hybrid, Vitalik is introducing for the Ethereum chain as being still on a theoretical level is far developed on Matrix' chain to my knowledge. Them launching mainnet very soon makes me think of this as almost a race that is going on on that side of technological evolution taking place in the space. Well, just my two cents, peace!

[yoyo-diel]

Vitalik Buterin and David Schwartz are the smartest people in crypto. HANDS DOWN!

[talkdatrue]

I wanna know Vitali’s diet and workout routine.

[ViralKiller]

I have always believed in ETH. Wait until 2022 when every DAPP is running on Ether...then 100$ eth gonna seem silly

[RideOrangeKTM]

That man looks funny at first but wow does he know his stuff?
Hopefully it is better for the solo miner.

me buying more ETH, BTC is just a big cluster fuck

[chuckijune]

Vitalik needs to eat some Chelo Kabob.

[flylivesmatter]

Interviewer looks like he's on Earth but really he's on Mars. 😂 Which is home of Vitalik Buterin. 😠 How is this possible??? 😕

[juliuskrieg]

Funny how Vitalik always struggles not to mention Cardano, Ethereum's most promising competitor in proof of stake!

[avocado]

We have seen this before, proof of stake - the guys who run your bank( well, not quite..but you get the idea). This is basically centralization through the backdoor ( in a convoluted inefficient way). Vitalik is undoubtedly Brilliant, but this mad! (caveat: I didn't understand everything he said, but doesn't pass my common sense test). Plasma thing he explained, made no sense -why is this so f*ing complicated, when your basically re-centralising ethereum ..
