Here’s a transcribed excerpt of the “Bitcoin Journal Podcast,” hosted by P and Q. On this episode, they’re joined by Tomer Strolight and Nico to focus on the Ethereum merge and the draw it proves that bitcoin and eth are entirely assorted resources and whose networks obtain very assorted architectures.

Tomer Strolight: I in actuality basically gaze Bitcoin and Ethereum as nearly opposites of 1 but any other. And even now not even nearly, as cease to as opposites of 1 but any other as might per chance per chance even be. When I imagine the Blocksize Wars, I accept as true with companies within Bitcoin and miners within Bitcoin had been making an try out the machine in a procedure, to see in the event that along with they might be able to simply engage over set a watch on of Bitcoin. In a short time and in actuality in the present day and in actuality simply, Bitcoiners acknowledged no.
After we set our cash the place our mouth is and we wrote and ran rather easy tool that would cease the seizure of set a watch on of Bitcoin by the mining cartel, we acknowledged, “We desire segwit to fast. And whereas you happen to don’t fast segwit by a definite date, your blocks can be concept to be invalid.”
That used to be the common sense of the united states (user-activated delicate fork) and ample of us ran it and ample of us advocated for it that they ran it. That’s a truly short model of the per chance 35-minute learn of my article for you guys.
The Merge is one thing assorted. I accept as true with love Ethereum’s consistently in a procedure, been captured by the developers, factual? Bitcoin has a anguish adjustment to produce definite it keeps working regardless of what; Ethereum has a anguish bomb to produce definite this might per chance per chance perchance simply cease working regardless of what, except you carry out a exhausting fork as dictated by the developers. One element is guaranteed to speed eternally. The opposite element is guaranteed now not to speed except you carry out what the developers divulge you to set up out throughout the originate of a exhausting fork. Now we obtain now this exhausting fork scheduled for the Merge and low-and-search for, folk obtain found but any other occasion can be in a living to build up set a watch on due to capability that proof-of-stake mining works: You can perchance presumably also simply must obtain a minimum quantity of eth, which now not ample folk obtain. So folk obtain delegated, they’ve surrendered custody of their eth to those staking pools, that are assorted from mining pools because mining pools, you set your mining hardware. You supreme level it at the node of a miner. In a staking pool, you give up custody. The staking pool then stakes your coins in a contract that they might be able to’t even withdraw the coins from. And so what we obtain now had is that this extensive centralization and this recognition following the week prior to now events surrounding this Tornado Money element. Now that these companies set your entire eth that’s acknowledged, and that’s the explanation the consensus algorithm, they will even be ordered or they might be able to engage set a watch on of what is the real fact in Ethereum.
Now there might per chance be this entire debate about whether or now not a UASF, a user activated tool, is imaginable and also can simply be pursued in Ethereum, but the algorithm is so sophisticated and so untested for slashing and proof-of-stake, or now not it is supreme now not easy.
Or now not it is very easy to understand bitcoin mining with rather little bit of coaching. I make now not narrate somebody understands exactly your entire nuances and particulars of this recent Ethereum proof-of-stake machine beneath the Merge. My expectation is even though there might per chance be some focus on of doing a UASF to threaten the neat companies with penalties in the event that they don’t carry out what’s supposed to be performed, which is ambiguous. I make now not narrate that it must even be coordinated because now not ample folk speed nodes. Or now not it is now not capability to speed an true rotund archival node for a usual person with out thousands of bucks. Or now not it is now not capability to stake except that you simply would be in a position to perchance presumably presumably want got tens of thousands of bucks worth of coins and a truly meaty machine. So these items are now not the identical. I supreme don’t gaze these items as even remotely identical. I in actual fact obtain a truly dark scrutinize of proof of stake in usual because it is miles the “prosperous accumulate richer” for no work as adversarial to being prosperous and the prosperous furthermore accumulate set a watch on of the machine. That is the total element we obtain now been looking out to build up a long way from. We desire work to be rewarded; honesty to be rewarded; no one so to build up set a watch on of the machine. That’s supreme now not what proof-of-stake is.
Every proof-of-stake machine we gaze has a neat majority of stakers who generally obtain your entire votes and narrate what’s going to and what also can simply now not be the converse of the blockchain.
