“I have to say I was swayed by the arguments of the ethereum crowd. And so, I’ve taken a personal position – not something to Benchmark,” he said in an interview. Though he didn’t specify how much he invested in the digital currency.
Gurley also called ethereum, “way more pragmatic” than other cryptocurrencies. In reference to the ominous Ethereum 2.0 shift he said, “they seem to be open to change and are basically making several changes which I think will bring down fees and will be very beneficial.”
