On Friday (December 21, 2018), Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and founder of ConsenSys, undermined his own critics (especially cryptographic "correspondents and blog owners") and said, in fact, that he has the opportunity to see a "pretty colorful" future for Ethereum and its ecosystem.

Lubina remarks, which were delivered via Twitter, arrived on the coming day later news release Verge reports, in fact that ConsenSys, the Ethereum targeted blockchain incubator ("SP-Studio") and the provider conceives of a spin-off with its 50+ startups ("spokes"), and in fact that it has the ability to mean up to 60% of employees have every chance to be unemployed.

ConsenSys, which was founded in 2015 by Lubin, in real time contains "more than 1,100 employees distributed around the world on any continent other than Antarctica."It, before all this, sees itself as an "enterprise production Studio aimed at creating and scaling tools, breakthrough startups and corporate software products table by decentralized technology, in particular Ethereum" and outlines its own goal as through "these conclusions for the emerging financial, social, political and operating systems on the planet."

We heard for the first time about Lubin's intentions to reorganize ConsenSys, a fresh period in his development, which Lubin calls "ConsenSys 2.0", through a December 3 report in Crypto news outlet BREAKER. This report tells us, in fact, that on Friday, November 30, within 19: 45 (Eastern time), employees of the company had a message (by e-mail) from Lubin, in which the General Director of ConsenSys laid out "a sweeping project in order to arrange ConsenSys more focused and competitive in an increasingly crowded area."He told BREAKER what day, actually that ConsenSys 2.0 was not a pivot:

"It's focusing, it's adding rigor, it's adding accountability, and it's revealing ConsenSys more to the world.”

In the direction of the proper 3 months, a large number of notes were written about ConsenSys 2.0, especially later such as the company approved Coindesk on December 6, in fact that this "optimization" of parts of its own business will mean that 13% of employees will be deprived of work:

"Not paying attention to the fact that we are in ecstasy from ConsenSys 2.0, our 1st step in this direction was difficult: we optimize a number of parts of the business, covering the conclusions of ConsenSys, spokes and proposals of the hub, which actually leads to a decrease of 13% of the grid members... Plans will still be perceived with rigidity because the cornerstone of ConsenSys 2.0 is considered to be technical perfection combined with innovative blockchain business models."

But on Friday, December 21, at 17: 42 (UTC), Lubin provoked a tweet storm in which he responded to his own critics and explained why he is optimistic about the future of Ethereum and its ecosystem. It all started with this tweet:
 

I am calling the cryptobottom of 2018. This bottom is marked by an epic amount of fear, uncertainty, and doubt from our friends in the 4th and crypto-5th estates.

After that, Lubin said::

"The fact that I have actually seen in the class of trepidation in the last few months in response to @ConsenSys 2.0, is considered quite a common melody: alarmed, praiseworthy and joyful."
"We were at the receiving end of an epic number of hypotheses and anticipatory paranoia-filled with damned rhetoric about situations in which correspondents and blog owners have no real data, actual awareness or awareness."
"ConsenSys stays healthy and leads to redistribution of property and the work, which started at around 9 months back."
"We're making transitions for some plans that we think don't fit into ConsenSys 2.0 theory, as it did in ConsenSys 1.0, and we're working on how to continue to support those plans in the future as we outline intentions for the ConsenSys alumni network."
"We continue to invest in external plans, and continue to take for internal plans, which remain the core of our promising business. We have hired within fifteen people over the last week or within such and we have job descriptions for whom we are in real time hiring."
"Some of ConsenSys, whose role was not so long ago eliminated, find other roles in ConsenSys. This is a rebalancing of our work and workforce."
"The sky is not falling. From my point of view, the future looks quite bright. I'm still ecstatic about the scalability conclusions that are available at the moment..."
"...or are cheap to apply in early 2019, the formation of the core Protocol #Ethereum, which is accelerated, and the continued maturation of the economy of tokens, which will notice a large amount of fun tokens consumer utility and licenzirovanie launches protection in the new year."
"Our panel of opinions just yesterday noticed the @IoKomgo plan live and is located on the border of blocking several quite tempting and significant consulting plans."
"Having reached the peak in 2019, if you had the opportunity to see the view with my eyes, you would have to wear glasses. Yours in ethereal serenity, JML"
Ethereum developer Vitalik Buterin agreed with Lubin, actually what critics have been unnecessarily harsh, saying the destruction ConsenSys:

Expand up to 1100 people, shrink to 600, keeping the 6/11ths that are most productive: OMG consensys is dead!

Expand up to 600 with no shrinking, announce every step of the expansion: wow, the company is prospering!

Lulz.
