Ethereum Cofounder Joseph Lubin On Crypto's Rise And What's Next
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.
Lubin also talks about the meteoric rise of Ethereum and bitcoin in the last year and the inevitable correction he feels it had to undergo. He believes the drop was necessary for the continued success of decentralized currencies.
President Donald Trump wants his “big, beautiful” bill of tax breaks and spending cuts on his desk to be singed into law by Independence Day. And he’s pushing the slow-rolling Senate to make it happen sooner rather than later. Trump met with Senate Majority Leader John Thune at the White House early this week and has been dialing senators for one-on-one chats, using both the carrot and stick to encourage them to act. But it’s still a long road ahead for the bill. Senators want to make changes to protect Medicaid and to make sure some tax breaks become permanent. Elon Musk called the whole bill a "disgusting abomination.”
For Novak Djokovic, this is a relatively easy call. He thinks the French Open is making a mistake by eschewing the electronic line-calling used at most big tennis tournaments and instead remaining old school by letting line judges decide whether serves or other shots land in or out.
A federal judge in Florida has rejected arguments made by an artificial intelligence company that its chatbots are protected by the First Amendment — at least for now.
