Getting Started Series 17 - Who created Ethereum?
Four years after the birth of Bitcoin, a 19-year-old young man envisioned a new platform based on this system in an effort to completely change the Internet. He is a programmer from Toronto, the father of Ethereum and a genius boy-Vitalik Buterin (Vitalik Buterin), referred to as V God.
Born in 1994, he is very talented:
Can play Excel at the age of 4;
When I was 12 years old, I wrote games for myself to play;
At the age of 17, co-founded "Bitcoin Magazine" and began to popularize Bitcoin;
Dropped out of the University of Waterloo at the age of 19 to release Ethereum;
20-year-old squeezed out Facebook founder Zuckerberg to win the World Science and Technology Award;
He was received by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the age of 24 and was listed on Fortune magazine's list of influential people under 40...
Not only that, he has also taught himself many languages, and even speaks fluent Chinese... His talents crushed all the people of the same age on the earth.
In 2011, Vitalik Buterin became interested in Bitcoin. He co-founded the online news site Bitcoin Magazine in the same year and wrote hundreds of articles about the world of cryptocurrency.
In 2013, he released a white paper on the Ethereum platform that can run smart contracts and decentralized applications.
His legendary experience and the success of Ethereum have led people to worship him as "V God". According to speculation, V God holds about 500,000 Ethereum, and the skyrocketing value of Ethereum in recent years has also made him fame and fortune, and his worth once exceeded 100 billion. V God also officially stood on the C position and successfully proclaimed God.
