Vitalik Buterin: I Was “Dead Wrong” When I Thought Ethereum 2.0 Will Launch Within 1-2 years

Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum (ETH), has recently stated that he never knew he could eventually be wrong when he confidently thought Ethereum 2.0 would launch within 1 to 2 years.

Buterin made this known during an AMA session on Twitter, where he allowed the limited people he’s following on Twitter, including Billionaire Elon Musk, to ask anything crypto or non-crypto related.

In response, Vitalik Buterin wrote, “People are harder to tightly coordinate in small groups than I expected. You can’t just get everyone to sit around in a circle, see each other’s inherent goodness and get along, especially when huge incentive conflicts are at play.”
