1:08:22 how do you verify proof without doing computations ? or is it just takes less computation to verify the proof? like in POW the way you verify is to run hashing on PreviousBlockHash + Nonse and get the same result

[@yuvalfuchs4745]

These interviews will one day be highly regarded as timeless historical records taught in every school. We are witnessing history in the making, of the birth of the new global economy, with Vitalik, one of its founding fathers.

This guy seems like a real good dude. Need more people like him.

[@kunit15]

First, thank you for your videos & your hard work - lots of helpful information. However, one question: Is Ethereum decentralized, and, if so, what exactly *is* decentralization?

[@ethantoise4073]

The supply is controlled by a single entity/corporation or government = centralized [US dollar controlled by federal reserve] Supply controlled by a network of entities = decentralized. [Ether]

I thought the SEC defined ETH a non-security due to sufficient decentralisation and that it is fully developed. What is ETH 2.0 then? And is there transparency showing who owns the network and that it is sufficiently decentralised?
