“The difference between bitcoin and Ethereum is that Bitcoiners consider Bitcoin to be 80% complete, but Ethereans consider Ethereum to be 40% complete.” He said.

Buterin also further explains that after the merge, which is expected to take place and be completed this September, Ethereum will still only be roughly 55% complete as there’s “plenty more coming after the merge.“
