In the blog post published today, Vitalik Buterin stressed that it was of vital importance to simplify the Ethereum protocol, which added the simplicity of Bitcoin. He gave a brief summary of the operation of the bitcoin, saying that the blocks on this chain are connected by a hash and verified by the proof of work. Each block contains transactions, which spend parts.
“Even an intelligent secondary student is capable of ending fully and understanding the Bitcoin protocol,” said Vitalik, “a programmer is able to write a customer as a pastime project.”
He also mentioned this simplicity of BTC in his X thread where he shared the link to the blog and he called to bring these “Bitcoin advantages” to Ethereum: “One of the best things about Bitcoin is how simple it is. This simplicity has many advantages. Bring these advantages to Ethereum. “
In short, Vitalik proposes to simplify layer 1 of Ethereum to make it work with simplicity and all the substantial advantages of Bitcoin. He wants to reduce Ethereum maintenance costs, minimize bugs on blockchain and develop participation in the development of the protocol. Buterin has highlighted Ethereum problems such as EVM 256 -bit architecture and achievements, calling them too optimized for obsolete use cases.

Vitalik stressed that in the short -term advantages of the changes proposed by him “does not appear immediately”. However, “in the long term, it will be worth it”. He suggested adding these changes over the next five years.
