The glory and dream of the bigwigs in the currency circle (V)

At the end of 2013, Vitalik Buterin, a Canadian born in Russia, sent a white paper to his friends, suggesting the design of a new Bitcoin. This new cryptocurrency will be based on a universal programming language and can be used to create a variety of applications, such as social, trading, games...

Vitalik Buterin thought that his avant-garde concept had many loopholes, but he did not expect it to be well received. It soon gained consensus in the Bitcoin community.

In the far east, this thin as a bamboo pole, with a giant head, fast speaking speed, erratic eyes, and aliens who seemed to be out of tune with the world had a new nickname-"V God". That year, he was 19 years old.

At that time, V God had just won the $100,000 Thiel Scholarship (a scholarship to encourage young people under 20 years old to start a business). Before the money was warmed up, he used it to develop a decentralized, blockchain-based computing platform named Etherum.

In 2015, Ethereum was officially launched.

In the year of Ethereum pre-sale, founder Vitalik Buterin came to China to promote Ethereum and gave away 5,000 Ethereum to the attendees, but no one was interested. Because the situation of Bitcoin, the leader of cryptocurrency, is not optimistic.

Starting from January 2014, the price of Bitcoin dropped from $864 to about $200 in a year, and the mainstream media rated cryptocurrency as the "worst currency of the year". #V神 #ETH
