Joseph Lubin, the co-founder of Ethereum and CEO of ConsenSys, has expressed his belief that the growth of Web3 will be far more significant than the dot-com boom of the 1990s.
Lubin shared his vision for the Web3 revolution, asserting that it’s already well underway and will have a lasting, positive impact on the world.
According to Lubin, the rise of Web3 will dwarf the dot-com explosion, describing it as an event that will not only be vast in scale but also transformative. He acknowledged that the journey will be challenging but emphasized that decentralized technologies and censorship-resistant platforms will ultimately reshape industries for the better.
Lubin is particularly bullish on Ethereum, pointing to its large market cap, maturity, and solid developer base as key factors that make it attractive to large enterprises. He believes Ethereum’s established position in the market, along with its clear roadmap, places it in a prime position to lead the charge in the Web3 era.
He also sees blockchain technology as the next logical step in digital evolution, similar to how businesses were once compelled to adapt to the internet. Lubin envisions a future where Web3 becomes the new standard, and traditional businesses will increasingly migrate to decentralized networks over the next few years. He likened the current trend to the rapid shift to the internet during the 90s, predicting a similar gold rush to Web3.
In addition, Lubin weighed in on President Trump’s crypto-related activities, which he believes have been well-calculated. Lubin noted that the Trump family’s ventures in decentralized finance (DeFi) will be centered around Ethereum, positioning the platform as the best place for high-value crypto activities. He suggested that the Trump administration’s approach to crypto would be cautious and strategic, ensuring that decisions are made with long-term success in mind.
