The history of Ethereum: from the idea in Vitalik's mind to the Web3 revolution
🔍 – Origin
In 2013, the programmer Vitalik Buterin proposed in the White Paper the creation of a platform to execute smart contracts – self-executing code blocks – going beyond being just a digital currency.
🧠 – Crowdsale
In 2014, the team – including Gavin Wood, Charles Hoskinson, Joseph Lubin, and others – conducted an ICO that raised over $18 million in ETH, selling around 60 million coins.
🚀 – Launch
On July 30, 2015, Ethereum was launched in its “Frontier” phase, creating the genesis block. Miners used GPUs and received 5 ETH per block.
🛠️ – DAO Hack & Fork
In 2016, the DAO hack diverted around $50 million in ETH. The community decided to do a hard fork, reversing the theft. Two networks emerged: Ethereum (ETH) and **Ethereum Classic (ETC)**.
🌐 – Evolution and upgrades
From 2017 to 2019, improvements such as Byzantium, Constantinople, and the boom of dApps and NFTs (e.g., CryptoKitties) emerged, paving the way for the transition to PoS.
🔄 – The Merge
On September 15, 2022, the epic Merge happened: Ethereum swapped Proof-of-Work for Proof-of-Stake, reducing its energy consumption by 99%.
🌍 – Why does it matter?
Today Ethereum is the second largest cryptocurrency, the foundation of DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and the building of Web3 – an open and decentralized platform for the entire internet.
🔚 – Final CTA
🔮 “From Vitalik's White Paper to a global digital revolution: and you, are you ready to ride the next Web3 wave?”

💥Two weeks ago, I bought 1 Ethereum at $1820. As the price started climbing, I expected it to dip again, so I sold at $1880, making a $60 profit. But just two days later, it surged to $2200, and now it's around $2500. My only regret is not holding on for just one more week. Hopefully, the market dips again soon.
