Joseph Lubin, the co-founder of Ethereum and CEO of Consensys, sat down with Cheddar senior reporter Alex Heath to discuss the rise of cryptocurrency. Lubin weighs in on why crypto's sudden correction last year benefits the space in the long term.
Lubin discusses the beginnings of the Ethereum Project he helped create and his new company Consensys's role in developing for blockchain technology.

Odom also talked about the airline industry's request to the Biden administration to delay the wider rollout of 5G, as they said it will interfere with flying safety.
