Building on Ethereum is the Key: Buterin

At the moment, one of the biggest challenges for Buterin and the Ethereum community is to ensure that Ethereum actually provides value to people. Several members of the community, including Big Four accounting firm Ernst & Young’s Global Blockchain Leader, Paul Brody, continue to be optimistic about this network. In fact, in a recent interview with CNBC, the Ethereum co-founder asserted that the on-chain experience ought to be “actually good” for regular people to use. Buterin added,

“The way that I see the Ethereum ecosystem in general is that the last decade was the decade of kind of playing around and getting Ethereum right. This decade is the decade where we have to actually build things that people use.
