Last month I attended the Asia Pacific Ethereum Meetup in Bangkok where developers from Ethereum, OmiseGo, Maker DAO and other projects gathered to share their progress. Most conversations revolved around scaling.

Besides having the incredible opportunity to interview Vitalik Buterin during this event, I was happy to see my younger brother, Eldari, ignite with passion for the technology. I myself started dedicating my full time to this industry last summer and wanted to involve Eldari more with development, not speculation.

I would like to thank Vitalik for being so open with the community. You can see the full interview below. It was conducted in Russian but English subtitles are available. (Apologies for people walking in and out at times, my brother did his best given the mayhem that was going on around us.)

[From CryptoOracle editors — index of key topics in the interview:

  • 0:00 Introduction
  • 0:45 What does Vitalik typically spend his time on? Mainly work on scalability
  • 1:20 Test network for Casper
  • 1:40 Impact of distribution of wallets on proof of stake
  • 2:35 Practically all cryptocurrencies have small number of people controlling large percentage of coins
  • 2:55 Importance of decentralized protocol design in proof of stake
  • 4:00 Plasma update
  • 5:00 On working with governments, banks and large corporations]

If you liked the interview, go ahead and “Clap” below so others will see it too!
