By CCN: On a day when the Ethereum price outperformed bitcoin, soaring more than 6%, the project’s co-founder is speaking out. Joe Lubin, who co-founded Ethereum and founded ConsenSys, the latter of which has dozens of projects “building on Ethereum,” was a guest on the Chain Reaction Podcast hosted by Delphi Digital Co-Founder Tom Shaughnessy. He confronted some of the “growing pains” that Ethereum has been suffering from, saying that Ethereum 1.0 was a “starting point” and developers knew it “wouldn’t be scalable.” Lubin explained:

“Growing pains are essential and wonderful. If we didn’t grow to the point that there were pains, it could be arguged that we’re moving too slowly as an ecosystem… Certainly, everything about Ethereum needs to improve and there are lots of people that are working to improve virtually everything about Ethereum.”

As for bitcoin, the risk is moving too fast:

“Even bitcoin was intended to evolve. Although one could understand the case that it should perhaps evolve more slowly, possibly perhaps even at glacial speeds if you’re building a decentralized  money system intended for the planet maybe you don’t want rapid growth in your technology.”
