🚀 The $300B Kid Who Changed Crypto Forever
Meet Vitalik Buterin—the college dropout who hacked finance’s rulebook with lines of code.
Born in Russia, raised in Canada, this math prodigy saw Bitcoin’s limits and thought: “Let’s build a universe.” 💡
2015: At 21, he launched Ethereum—smart contracts, decentralized apps, the backbone of Web3. Today? A $300B empire.
But power corrupts. 😰
Ethereum’s energy use exploded. Miners ruled. Vitalik faced a crisis: Burn the planet or burn the system?
The Merge 🔥
In 2022, he flipped the script. Ethereum ditched energy-guzzling “proof of work” for sleek “proof of stake.”
Result?
✅ 99.95% less energy.
✅ No crashes. No bugs.
✅ Power back to the people.
Vitalik’s net worth? Over $1B. His legacy? A greener, fairer crypto future. 🌍✨
Ethereum’s secret? A kid who coded harder than he partied.
Think crypto’s wild now? Thank Vitalik. 💥
