August 5, 2019, by Marko Vidrih on ALTCOIN MAGAZINE

The founder of the Ethereum platform, Vitalik Buterin, believes that the future of the cryptocurrency industry should be diverse.

He expressed this opinion in response to the recent initiative of the Blockade Games company, which proposed using Bitcoin’s Lightning Network implementation as an interface for Ethereum smart contracts. According to the developers, the approach described by them will allow making instant payments on the Bitcoin network, simultaneously causing a series of events in Ethereum or any other blockchain.

Commenting on the proposal, Buterin drew attention to the use of Bitcoin and Ethereum in one bundle and expressed the opinion that “the future of cryptocurrencies is diverse and pluralist.”

Blockade Games has already tested its solution in the Rinkeby test network and in the next two weeks plans to move to work with the main network, which uses the real broadcast.

Bitcoin developers call the “future of money.” According to them, the majority of players in the products they create prefer to keep their assets in Bitcoin. At the same time, they consider Ethereum as a blockchain for the release of non-interchangeable assets, that is, tokens, each of which may have unique characteristics.

Last month, Buterin came up with the idea of using the Bitcoin Cash blockchain as a temporary scaling tool for Ethereum.
