Another reason he gave for his decision is the safety associated with the crypto business. The crypto guy had hired a security team in 2017 for the same. Since then the team has been staying with Anthony as a shadow and follows him on every trip and meeting. Anthony said he never felt safe in the 6 years of his journey with Ethereum.
Di Lorio further said the role of cryptocurrencies in tackling major problems of the world is very less and he wants to tackle complex problems. His words seem like a warning and imply that cryptos may not be that good for future of the currencies.

Ether currency was launched by Vitalik Buterin in 2015 and is now the second-best cryptocurrency to invest in 2021. It has a total market cap of $307 billion after bitcoin that holds the value of $641 billion as per the report in Forbes.
Ethereum’s price may surpass bitcoin after its second iteration steps into the industry. It is based on the PoS model and said to be more profitable for miners in comparison to bitcoin’s PoW model.
