What’s new? Soros Fund Management CEO Dawn Fitzpatrick believes that Ethereumwill become more popular compared to bitcoin. This is due to the upcoming “The Merge” upgrade, which will see the Ethereum network switch from the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus algorithm to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). According to Fitzpatrick, the issue of climate change is attracting more and more attention from the crypto community, and against this backdrop, the energy intensity of the first cryptocurrency may have a negative impact on attitudes towards it.
