Vitalik Buterin’s keynote at EthCC wasn’t your typical conference keynote, it was a wake-up call. This should be a clear signal that the principles that Ethereum was founded upon are not invulnerable. Decentralization, user empowerment, and trustless systems are not natural states—they utterly require maintenance. They take ongoing commitment, deep...
And just yesterday, Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, raised that alarm very seriously. He admonished the growing centralization and resulting security risks imperiling projects purporting decentralization. Buterin gave a scathing critique of the industry while holding a very symbolic cracked Ethereum logo. His challenges to the status quo have...
In the tectonic shifts of the cryptocurrency world, decentralization is both the natural and intended bedrock of the industry. It holds the potential to move beyond the centralization and control, providing a transparent, more democratic, and secure financial ecosystem. Ethereum’s co-founder Vitalik Buterin made recent cryptocurrency news with his dire...
Ethereum’s got a fever, and the only prescription, apparently, is tokenization. And as a result, we’re witnessing Ether one-day price jumps, cross-listed related stocks surging, and even those widely disparaged Ether ETFs drawing in some serious cash. But before we all start uncorking the bubbly and making toasts, let’s pump...
Cardano and Ethereum have both seen massive recent value increases as they have been pushed by high development activity in their respective ecosystems.

Despite the challenges, Cardano has surged ahead, with...
The crypto market is buzzing again. Cardano and Ethereum are two that are at the forefront, with both recently having a remarkable 30% price increase. The common narrative? Increased development activity. To tell the truth, their approach is unnecessary. Are we actually peering inside the engine, or have we just...
In the equally volatile arena of cryptocurrency, savvy investors are always looking for credible signals to cut through the market’s noise. Miles O’Connor, a Dublin-based analyst specializing in altcoin economic design, is known for his acerbic, independent critiques. Developers don’t always have the best public relations, but he considers development...
You’ve been paying attention to what’s going on with Ethereum right now right? Forget the price charts (yeah, ETH is down 24% this year—who cares?), forget the tech speak. The tokenization wave extends well beyond technology. It transforms the way you and I experience and interact with the world’s resources....
Ethereum is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and has enjoyed a significant price run recently. The rally is largely fueled by the growing hype around the potential of tokenization. Yet this process, called tokenization, is simply the digitization of a real-world asset on a blockchain. As BlockOpulent decodes the...
From Johannesburg, I see a different future. One funded not only by increasing cryptocurrency values, but by the technology that supports them. We’re all tired of hearing stories about Bitcoin millionaires and NFT art selling for millions. What if the story of Cardano and Ethereum isn’t their price increase, but...
