Raoul Pal: “The entire banking system will go to ETH” Raoul explains: “I find it hilarious that 1.5-2 years ago people were like, ‘ETH is dead.’ I’m like, 'No, the entire banking system will go to ETH.' That doesn’t mean it’s a mono-chain world, but I know how banks work… It’s really for them about Lindy effects — things that survive; things that you don’t get fired for; things that are proven — because nobody wants to lose their jobs over new technology.” Etherealize co-founder Danny Ryan adds to Raoul’s point: “I had to learn this. We’ve worked for a decade to make sure Ethereum is resilient, multi-client, is distributed across the world, has 100% uptime. And I had no idea until I talked to the banks: I’ve found a customer of decentralization. They just don’t know it. They care about uptime. They care about resilience. They care about the thing that’s been around for the longest. They care about the thing that no one can turn off. You just have to translate the language to them. And yes, the ‘no one gets fired for picking Microsoft’ dynamic is very real, and it’s in Ethereum’s favor.” Raoul points to Ethereum’s developer network effect as well.

Crypto has had a rough year. Maybe we should launch something to fix it.
