Pushing Adoption with EY Blockchain
Graham Cathcart breaks down how EY is pushing blockchain adoption by treating it not just as a trendy solution, but as foundational infrastructure—akin to the internet itself. He outlines EY’s unique approach as a startup within a massive organization, operating on a high-growth, high-stakes model where internal funding is based on performance. Graham also details why EY has committed to building on public chains, especially Ethereum, highlighting its network effects, innovation velocity, and potential to be the connective base layer for an interoperable blockchain future.
The conversation explores the pitfalls of private blockchains and underscores the importance of open, trustless systems for scalable and sustainable innovation. For students entering the space, Graham emphasizes starting from first principles: learn how blockchains work at the technical level before diving into finance or investing. Understanding concepts like mining, mempools, and consensus mechanisms will provide the foundation needed to navigate the fast-evolving crypto space with confidence. He encourages students to reach out via LinkedIn, stay curious, and build with purpose.
