This is Vitalik Buterin 🚀😱🔥
The college dropout who rewrote the rules of finance with just code.
He built a $300 billion empire, changed crypto forever, and saved it from a $100 billion collapse! 💪🔥
The step that Ethereum can never forget? 🧵
Vitalik's journey began in Russia, then he moved to Canada. He was a math whiz and coding enthusiast. 🎓💻
He discovered Bitcoin and started writing for Bitcoin Magazine, but thought of something bigger and smarter! 🤔
And then Ethereum was born!
In 2015, Vitalik launched Ethereum. With smart contracts and decentralized applications, he laid the foundation for Web 3! 🌐💥
Today, Ethereum is valued at over $300 billion, and Vitalik's own worth reached $1 billion! 💸🔥
But with success came a risk! 🚨
Ethereum's energy consumption increased. The power of miners began to rise. 🔋
Vitalik immediately sensed this danger!
What was the solution?
"The Merge"! 🔥
He made a historic shift from proof of work to proof of stake.
It was a tough decision, but Vitalik didn't give up! 💪
In September 2022, "The Merge" was successfully completed! 💥
Energy consumption decreased by 99.95%! 🌱
No bugs, no fuss, just a new Ethereum! 🔥
Power back in the hands of the users! 💥
