ethereum is the number two overall
[2]
cryptocurrency but
[3]
could it eventually climb to the top
[5]
spot dethroning bitcoin
[7]
it's definitely what some people believe
[9]
including ethereum co-founder and the
[11]
face of eth
[12]
italic buterin but a recently lagging
[14]
price a clogged network and exorbitant
[16]
gas fees
[17]
led many in the crypto community to
[19]
question the long-term validity and
[20]
viability
[22]
of the ethereum network but one gigantic
[24]
change coming to ethereum could flip
[26]
everything upside down find out what it
[29]
is and what
[30]
you need to do in order to get ready

[75]
that you want more
[76]
in this video we're going to be going
[78]
over the basics of e 2.0 the dramatic
[81]
change to the ethereum network
[82]
that will disrupt the entire crypto
[85]
space
[86]
and now some believe this change is
[88]
going to come much quicker than we ever
[90]
anticipated
[91]
so let's briefly discuss what e 2.0
[94]
is ethereum was originally launched in
[96]
2015 led by co-founders vitalik buterin
[99]
charles hoskinson
[100]
gavin wood joseph lubin and others
[103]
as early as december of 2015 it was
[106]
apparent that ethereum and its current
[108]
construction would never be able to last
[110]
in a vacuum ethereum as a decentralized
[112]
network was successful on a small level
[115]
but as the network would grow ethereum
[117]
would not work
[118]
over the long term vitalik introduced
[120]
something called the serenity upgrade
[122]
this would be the move that would take
[124]
all of ethereum's weaknesses into
[126]
consideration
[127]
and fix them over time the serenity
[129]
update
[130]
would become known as e 2.0 representing
[133]
the dawn of a new era for ethereum
[136]
one in which the network could scale
[138]
without gas fees stringling users
[141]
at the core of this upgrade is a change
[143]
over from proof of work
[144]
to proof of stake proof of work is also
[148]
known as
[148]
mining transactions are sent throughout
[151]
the network
[152]
based upon miners sending large blocks
[154]
of transaction
[155]
data throughout the network they do this
[157]
because they're incentivized by rewards
[159]
earned from those blocks bitcoin the
[162]
oldest cryptocurrency is of course a
[163]
proof of work project
[165]
proof of stake is something altogether
[166]
different here the network is
[168]
incentivized to push through
[169]
transactions
[171]
based upon the value of the crypto that
[173]
they hold or stake
[175]
miners are replaced by what is known as
[177]
validator nodes
[178]
these nodes require a user to hold at
[180]
least 32 ethereum
[182]
when the validator nodes decide to take
[184]
part in the network
[185]
they must stake their ethereum and then
[188]
they earn returns
[189]
based upon however much they hold it's a
[192]
totally different way of operating but
[195]
ultimately the end results
[197]
should be the same ethereum transactions
[199]
get pushed through
[200]
and those who participate in the network
[202]
earn returns
[203]
the goal of e2.0 is to make the ethereum
[206]
network more scalable more secure and
[208]
more sustainable
[209]
recently a lot of ethereum critics have
[211]
arisen discussing all of these problems
[213]
but the important thing is to realize
[215]
this is a model built to be sustainable
[218]
not here today and gone tomorrow while
[221]
ethereum competitors cardano and
[222]
polkadot have both set out to solve the
[224]
scalability and security issues
[226]
on the front end ethers had to work in
[228]
the improvements to the protocol
[229]
over time on the back end it's really
[232]
hard to say whether or not they'll be
[233]
totally successful but we're moving
[234]
closer to seeing whether it work or not
[236]
is we're in the midst of the ethereum
[237]
2.0 rollout
[239]
e 2.0 will take place in different
[240]
stages or phases the current timeline is
[242]
phase 0 phase 1
[244]
phase 1.5 phase 2 and then beyond right
[247]
now we're currently phase zero
[249]
e 2.0 phase zero was officially live on
[251]
december 1st of 2020 so it's in its
[253]
infancy
[254]
phase zero is the beacon chain upgrade
[256]
which main purpose is to enroll
[258]
validator nodes
[259]
over one billion dollars worth of ease
[261]
was staked in the first two weeks of the
[262]
launch of the validators
[264]
the next phase coming most likely at the
[266]
end of this year early 2022
[268]
include sharding this is a way for the
[270]
network to break up transactions into
[272]
tiny pieces or shards
[273]
in order to process transactions faster
[276]
following the release of shards the
[278]
actual merging of the proof of work
[279]
blockchain and the proof of stake
[280]
blockchain
[281]
will come to completion after this is
[283]
complete phase
[284]
two will occur that will finally see the
[286]
new operating model for ethereum
[288]
many believe this final phase won't be
[289]
operable until 2023
[291]
a long time for people to wait in the
[293]
world of crypto right now it feels like
[295]
ethereum may be in a bit of a bind
[297]
and must push out these updates faster
[299]
if it wants to compete
[300]
if not newer chains such as cardano
[302]
binding smart chain and polka dot
[304]
among others could steal its market
[306]
share nfts also are not going anywhere
[308]
anytime soon and neither is d5
[310]
so for ethereum it could be either shape
[313]
up or ship
[314]
out before we get into the recent news
[316]
regarding e 2.0 that could change
[318]
everything
[318]
i want to address a question that we get
[320]
all the time on this channel
[322]
when the fork is complete how will users
[324]
get their e 2.0 tokens
[326]
here's the great news you literally
[328]
don't have to do anything this is not a
[330]
traditional token swap where token
[331]
holders will manually change out their
[333]
tokens
[334]
we have confirmation that ethereum token
[335]
holders literally do nothing
[337]
and this is good because it's a big leap
[339]
of faith to think that newer crypto
[340]
noobs
[341]
will be able to know how and when to
[342]
swap out their tokens
[344]
the long and short of it is that the eth
[346]
1.0 chain is going to be absorbed into
[348]
the e 2.0 chain
[349]
transferring all the data including
[351]
holder information and addresses
[353]
all transaction data will be saved to
[356]
get ready for e 2.0 the only people who
[358]
need to actively participate are those
[359]
who seek to become validators on the
[361]
network so what about people who don't
[363]
own 32 etho
[364]
as of today that's almost 60k well the
[367]
high ether requirements seem to lock out
[369]
the average everyday crypto holder
[372]
without whale status first glance that's
[374]
true however many exchanges including
[376]
coinbase
[377]
have pledged to open staking up to their
[380]
users with smaller holdings
[382]
while users won't be able to earn as
[384]
much as they would if they ran their own
[385]
validator nodes
[387]
they will be able to earn staking
[388]
interest based upon how much they do
[391]
owe and that's a win for people who like
[394]
passive income
[395]
which i think is almost everybody but
[397]
still 2023 seems to be a long time to
[399]
wait for this upgrade
[400]
any developers know this this is why the
[403]
controversial eip1559 was released that
[405]
will take place in july for the london
[407]
upgrade on the ethereum network
[409]
this proposed change was passed by the
[411]
ethereum developers and will play a
[413]
dramatic role in improving the network
[415]
for users developers and price
[416]
speculators
[417]
however it has created a war in the
[420]
ethereum mining community
[422]
during his recent appearance on the tim
[423]
ferriss show vitalik buterin talked a
[426]
lot about the ead scaling solutions and
[428]
pushed back against the minor uprising
[429]
against the eighth developers
[431]
vitality proposed eip1559 will actually
[434]
give ethereum
[434]
everything it needs to fight bitcoin for
[437]
the number one spot
[438]
overall the big thing that miners hate
[441]
is the very thing that speculators love
[443]
part of the ethereum transaction fees
[445]
will now be sent to the ethereum
[447]
foundation
[448]
in order to be burned or removed from
[450]
the supply this will balance out the
[452]
unlimited supply for ethereum
[455]
each year under its current construction
[456]
ethereum sees a 0.5 to 2 percent
[458]
inflation rate
[459]
with the new proposal the supply will be
[461]
deflationary as
[463]
much of the newly minted ethereum from
[464]
transaction fees will be burned
[466]
the ethereum miners though are not happy
[469]
with this at
[470]
all especially since their mining
[472]
revenue has tripled over the last few
[474]
months
[475]
they've even gone so far as to announce
[477]
a show of force if you will
[479]
on april 1st where the miners will prove
[482]
how powerful they are
[485]
they're attempting to get over 50 of the
[486]
hash rate in order to show the ethereum
[489]
foundation
[490]
and developers that they are not to be
[492]
messed with this would be kind of like
[494]
the bank showing how powerful they are
[496]
by
[496]
showing that they don't have all the
[497]
money they say they have
[499]
it's counterintuitive it would expose
[501]
all of the flaws of the network
[503]
talk about shooting yourself in the foot
[506]
but a new proposal
[507]
eip 3368 looks to increase the block
[510]
rewards to three ether per block
[512]
then throughout the completion of e 2.0
[514]
transition the block reward will
[516]
decrease by 0.25
[517]
each every quarter until it gets back
[519]
down to one eat per block
[522]
many mining influencers have seen this
[523]
proposal as a proper compromise
[526]
it kind of reminds me though of like a
[527]
criminal holding a hostage and then he
[529]
realizes he's out of ammunition
[531]
like yeah of course then he's gonna
[533]
start to try to negotiate
[535]
the mining uprising was never going to
[537]
work and could have destroyed ethereum
[538]
and they knew that
[539]
the miners are money grubbers and maybe
[541]
out of touch
[543]
but they know they didn't have any
[544]
options here but at the end of the day i
[546]
think the worst of this
[547]
mining war is over any 2.0 will come
[549]
marching very soon
[550]
phase by phase but let me know what you
[553]
think about e 2.0 in eip1559 and then
[556]
the new eip-3368
[559]
are you excited and do you think this
[560]
could help with durian past bitcoin
