For ethereums critics in the bitcoin community, last month brought a gotcha moment.

Joseph Lubin, co-founder of the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, acknowledged onstage at Ethereal Tel Aviv that the network, in its original form, wasnt built for mass adoption. We knew it wasnt going to be scalable for sure, the ConsenSys CEO said.
