Simplifying Ethereum Key to True Trustlessness, Says Buterin

The Ethereum blockchain needs to better explain its features to users in order to achieve true trustlessness, a challenge common across blockchain protocols, says its co-founder Vitalik Buterin. Trustlessness would see a protocol work without the oversight of developers, as it enforces rules automatically with code. However, if a protocol is so complex that only a small group can work on it, then in practice, others still have to trust that group.  Ethereum is already trustless as transactions and smart contracts are enforced by open-source code and a decentralized network…

While the halving still reduces new supply, its influence is no longer confined to predictable timelines or uniform outcomes. As BTC matures into a globally traded asset, the forces shaping its market behavior have expanded beyond the event.
