Ethereum's Hotel Construction Analogy
Share
A discussion about how Ethereum's development works, with Shaan Puri using a hotel analogy to explain it.
"Ethereum was like a 10-year road map. It's like building a hotel one floor at a time and people are staying in the hotel, but you told them from the beginning this is a 50-story hotel. I haven't even built all those other things that we're gonna need in order for this to work. There's no elevators yet - I know we're gonna make elevators, for now we take the stairs. That's like the transaction fees and all that.
It's not like a company where the founder is sitting there coding all day or managing people. It's like a nonprofit foundation open source project where he's like a steward and a champion, but he doesn't have like 25 direct reports."
