Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum,at a Paris-based Ethereum conference that after the Merge, Ethereum will still only be 55% complete.

Since Bitcoin went live on Jan. 3, 2009, the network has never gone down, been hacked or stopped storing new data. Bitcoin is also a currency that can’t be inflated, a selling point that has become the network’s chief use case. The bookkeeping is never wrong. A forever database ensures the integrity of our collective memories in a way that previous databases could not.
