🚨 What Vitalik did with Ethereum changed EVERYTHING (and almost no one understands it)
👉 Here are 3 essential things to understand it (with practical examples that will blow your mind):
1️⃣ It’s not just digital money 💰
Bitcoin was like "gold on the internet".
But Vitalik thought: What if that money could have smart rules?
💡 Practical example:
Imagine that your piggy bank only opens when you meet a condition, like getting a 10 on an exam.
That’s a smart contract: the money is not controlled by a person,
but by programmed rules that fulfill themselves.
2️⃣ Ethereum is like a “global computer” 🌍💻
While Bitcoin only serves to send and store value,
Ethereum is like a big computer on the internet,
where anyone can create applications that do not depend on banks or governments.
💡 Practical example:
It’s like an online video game where everyone plays by the same rules,
and no one can cheat because the system enforces them automatically.
3️⃣ It opened the door to a new world: NFTs, DeFi, and DAOs 🚀
The games where you sell your skins,
the loans without banks,
or communities that self-manage like “digital cooperatives”.
💡 Practical example:
Think of collectible cards that now have real value:
you can sell them, trade them, or even use them as collateral for a loan.
That’s what Ethereum made possible.
🔥 Vitalik didn’t invent “another currency”,
invented the foundation of a new digital economy.
📌 If you understood these practical examples,
you are already one step ahead of 80% of people.
