Description

Ethereums Vitalik Buterin downplays finality concerns, emphasizing that occasional delays are not a major issue. He explains that losing finalization once in a while is acceptable, as long as the wrong block isnt finalized. Experts agree, comparing Ethereums probabilistic finality to Bitcoins.
