Decrypt-O’s Ep. 2: Who Cares About the Ethereum Merge?
The Ethereum merge will happen this week. In this serving of Decrypt-O’s, Kate Irwin explains the Bellatrix upgrade and the shadow fork, Dan Roberts predicts the impact Ethereum’s move to proof of stake will have on Bitcoin’s energy use PR problem (plus commentary from Dan Held from the gm podcast), and Sander Lutz hits the street in Hollyweird to ask regular folks if they know and care about the merge. (Production by Zack Edelman, editing by Jason Nelson.)
