Joseph Lubin, founder of ConsenSys and cofounder of Ethereum, discusses ConsenSys's acquisition this week of JPMorgan's blockchain solution, Quorum. In this episode, he talks about:

why JPMorgan sold Quorum to ConsenSys, and how that fits into ConsenSys's larger enterprise offerings
who Quorum's clients are and what it is used for
whether or not ConsenSys is also acquiring the Quorum team
how the acquisition fits in with the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance and its standards-based approach to blockchain enterprise development
how much JPMorgan invested into ConsenSys
how much ConsenSys is raising
how the Quorum acquisition fits into ConsenSys's larger restructuring into two main arms focused on software development and venture activity
how the pandemic has affected ConsenSys's business
the recent outcry over MetaMask's changes to its licensing structure and how it may eventually monetize with a token
his thoughts on Ethereum's five-year anniversary and where it is headed with Ethereum 2.0
