- anonporridge 4y agoEven more so now that they've migrated to proof of stake. Unlike proof of work bitcoin, the control authority of the entity that is the Ethereum network is now entirely in the hands of the top stake owners, just like control authority of a company is entirely in the hands of top shareholders.
- kinakomochidayo 4y agoVitalik’s roadmap is an overall view of all the work happening in parallel and some nice to haves; it’s not an official roadmap for Ethereum. At the end of the day, the specs are defined by the community and implemented by the 10 independent client teams, compared to 1 with Bitcoin. Besides, node operators still have the choice to update or not update their nodes, similar to Bitcoin. Ethereum is not a security
- unboxingelf 4y agoIn all reality vitalik’s roadmap is the official roadmap. It’s clearly being followed. There is not much difference between a traditional tech company and Ethereum. Meanwhile Bitcoin has been code complete since the whitepaper was released. There is no roadmap. Ethereum is a security, Bitcoin is a commodity.
