In 2011, a 17-year-old young man discovered Bitcoin thanks to his father. He didn't have money to invest, so he found another way to get into the game:
writing articles for 5 BTC each (when they were worth only $3).
That young man was Vitalik Buterin.
But he didn't stop there. At 19, he identified the limitations of Bitcoin and proposed something revolutionary:
A blockchain where not only value could be transferred, but smart contracts could be programmed and decentralized applications could be built.
Thus Ethereum was born.
A platform that transformed financial internet, NFTs, DeFi, and the very concept of digital governance.
Why does this story matter?
Because Vitalik didn't start with capital. He started with knowledge, passion, and vision.
And because his story is the living proof that innovation doesn't need permission. Only purpose.
Bitcoin changed his life.
Ethereum changed the world.
And it all started by writing out of curiosity.
