This is Vitalik Buterin — The Genius Who Rewired the Financial World!
From college dropout to crypto legend. From code to a $300B empire.
Here’s how he saved Ethereum from collapse and changed history… 🧵👇
⸻
🇷🇺 Born in Russia, Raised in Canada
A math prodigy and coding mastermind — Vitalik wasn’t your average student.
While others were partying, he was solving problems… with code.
Then he discovered Bitcoin — and everything changed.
⸻
🧠 Big Brain Energy: Ethereum Was Born
Bitcoin was brilliant… but Vitalik saw limitations.
So in 2015, he built something smarter:
Ethereum — a programmable blockchain powered by smart contracts & dApps.
It didn’t just compete with banks… it replaced the need for them.
⸻
💥 Ethereum Explodes: $300 Billion+ Market Cap
Today, Ethereum is Web3’s backbone, and Vitalik?
He’s worth over $1 Billion — but stayed humble, always focused on the tech.
But then came Ethereum’s biggest threat…
⸻
⚠️ The Crisis: Power-Hungry Mining & Energy Waste
As Ethereum grew, so did mining — and the energy it consumed.
Vitalik saw the red flags. It wasn’t sustainable.
He had one shot to fix it… or Ethereum could fall.
⸻
THE MERGE: A Bold Leap Forward
In September 2022, Ethereum transitioned from Proof of Work ➡️ Proof of Stake
✅ Energy use dropped 99.95%
✅ No crash. No bugs.
✅ And Ethereum became faster, cleaner, greener
⸻
Vitalik didn’t just build Ethereum…
He rescued it, evolved it, and secured its future.
From dorm rooms to data centers, his vision reshaped the crypto universe.
The Merge wasn’t just an upgrade.
It was a revolution.
And it all started with one idea… and one unstoppable coder.
Smash that ❤️ if you believe in innovation like Vitalik’s.
Comment “ETH” if you were here before The Merge!
