This is Vitalik Buterin 🚀
Dropping out of college to rewrite the financial rules just with code.
He built an empire worth $300 billion, changed crypto forever, and saved it from a $100 billion crash! 💪🔥
A step that Ethereum will never forget? 🧵
Vitalik's journey began in Russia, then he moved to Canada. He is a math genius and a programming enthusiast. 🎓💻
He discovered Bitcoin and started writing for Bitcoin Magazine, but he was thinking 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! 🌐💥
Currently, Ethereum is worth over $300 billion, and Vitalik's own wealth has reached $1 billion! 💸🔥
But with success comes risk! 🚨
Ethereum's energy consumption increased. Miner power began to rise. 🔋
Vitalik soon felt this danger!
What was the solution?
"The Merge"! 🔥
He made the historic change 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 problems, just a new Ethereum! 🔥
Power returned to the hands of the users! 👐💥
