What do you think about Ethereum 2.0 and a sharded architecture? What will happen to projects developed on the first chain? Is Ethereum the next Bitcoin? First-mover advantage.

These questions are from the fifth session of MOOC 12 and the October monthly patron session, which took place on October 11th and October 26th 2019.
