The crypto platform Ethereum is preparing for a major system overhaul aimed at reducing the amount of electricity the network uses. But the update could lead to other changes to how Ethereum works.
WSJ cryptocurrency reporter Paul Vigna joins host Zoe Thomas to discuss why the change is being implemented and what it could mean for the network.

Crypto is a scam
I totally agree with what you are saying….<The fact is, BTC is the future of crypto and the questions traders ask themselves now if this is right time to invest? before jumping into conclusion i think you should take a look at things first. for the past few days the price of Btc has been fluctuating which means the market is currently unstable and you cant tell if it is going bearish or bullish. while others still continue to trade without the fear of making lose, others are being patient. it all depends on the pattern with which you trade and also the source of your signals. But all thanks to Mr Liang yao dennis for his amazing skills for helping me to earn 19 Btc through trading chart. I believe we are in the spring phase. You can reach him on ͲeIєɠɾαm👉LINYEN21
With all the heists and scams, why does anyone still buy crypto? Greed.
I don't understand crypto. But I do know it is a scam. ok.

you should try getting knowledgable "sources". There's actually a live page that highlights the FALSE roomers you REPEAT in this video. If you're interested in providing truthful information, you'll find it. It's not difficult.
cryto as an investment makes no sense… if TOKEN is gonna be worth 2x next year.. why on earth would you spend it on a burger?.. it cant be a currency and an asset investment
To all the comments saying that crypto is a scam……I concur.
Crypto is both a huge joke and a magnificent scam. Enjoy!
6+ years in the making.
yes its moving towards proof of stake rather then proof of work
Only 1% of Earth's population make up the highest income brackets of wealth. It's this 1% that's excited. The other 99%?
No thanks, we're sticking with cash! 100%
Good luck obtaining 32 ETH to make your own validator node
Always uninterested in what clown currencies are upto
So much for "decentralization" when someone can just 'update' your money like this
And before you come at me with "butwhatabout Fiat currency" yeah yeah
But I trust Governments before Cryptoadmins
