ETH 2.0’s timeline with David Hoffman, co-founder of Bankless

Those who don’t understand Ethereum believe it was simply created, however, when you fully understand it, you will realize the asset is simply a portal to a new future that is being discovered. Bankless co-founder David Hoffman believes that Ethereum is lifting the archaic veil from the legacy system, replacing the good, bad, and ugly on a daily basis. Hoffman explains that in order for Ethereum to establish itself as a financial revolution, the necessary major upgrades as we transition to 2.0 will inevitably continue to have growing pains. Achieving this milestone, although not a simple task, is critical for the better of global finance.
