$ETH

Ethereum started on July 30, 2015 🚀.

It was created by a guy named Vitalik Buterin 🧑‍💻, who had the idea in late 2013 💡.

He wanted to build something bigger than Bitcoin — a place where people could make apps and programs that run without needing a company or boss (using something called smart contracts) ⚙️.

Here’s the timeline in easy words:

Late 2013 — Vitalik wrote the idea for Ethereum ✍️.

Early 2014 — He and his team started working on it 👨‍💻👩‍💻.

Mid 2014 — They raised money by selling Ethereum tokens 💰.

July 30, 2015 — Ethereum officially went live 🎉.
