Buterin answered questions from journalist Joe Zhou in the Thai city of Chiang Mai.<\/p>\n<p>Zhou last interviewed Buterin a year ago. Now he asked the 31-year-old programmer which changes within the blockchain industry were particularly noteworthy and what Buterin was focusing on.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe biggest change is that I see a big gap between technology and application\u201d<\/em>, Buterin replied, suggesting a possible problem that he is personally concerned about.<\/p>\n<p>Buterin praises recent improvements with regard to Ethereum&#8217;s scalability \u2013 one of the essential problems of the blockchain \u2013 but modern developments are increasingly lacking in meaningfulness.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIn the last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/en\/knowledge\/what-is-ethereum-and-how-does-it-work-basics-for-beginners\/\">Ethereum<\/a> has made enormous progress in scaling the technology,\u201d said Buterin, referring above all to the modern scaling solution ZkEVM.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Its successful implementation on the mainnet is yet to follow. In combination with PeerDAS, Ethereum&#8217;s throughput should be increased at least fivefold.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHowever, I see a significant reason for concern at the application level\u201d<\/em>, Buterin continued.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, many ambitions have vanished over the years. The actual goal of replacing important applications with decentralized alternatives is increasingly fading into the background. The Canadian cites the taxi service Uber as an example of such applications.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI just feel that very many people have long forgotten these original aspirations. (\u2026) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/en\/knowledge\/what-are-cryptocurrencies-explanation-for-beginners\/\">Cryptocurrencies<\/a> are financially successful, but have lost their importance in administration,\u201d criticizes the programmer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He therefore sees decisive shortcomings in the functioning of DAOs. Instead of addressing these problems, the industry prefers to concentrate on trivial content such as memecoins. He classifies trivial speculation as the greatest risk for crypto.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFor me, it\u2019s about avoiding the \u201cdoomsday scenario\u201d for cryptocurrencies. My biggest concern for the future is that the entire industry could degenerate into a pure speculation bubble without real applications.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<script type=\"text\/plain\" data-tcf=\"waiting-for-consent\" data-id=\"20572\" data-bid=\"1\" data-placement=\"33872\">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<\/script><h2>Buterin: Crypto could secure freedom on the Internet<\/h2>\n<p>The Canadian believes that the Internet is currently at an important crossroads that will fundamentally decide its future.
