$ETH EREUM’S ORIGIN: HOW A VIDEO GAME NERF CHANGED THE WORLD
Ethereum is up 21% this week and 40% this month, climbing past a $430B market cap.
But did you know it almost never existed?
Back in 2010, a young Vitalik Buterin was heartbroken when Blizzard nerfed his Warlock’s “Siphon Life” spell in World of Warcraft.
He later said he “cried himself to sleep” that night.
That moment opened his eyes to the risks of centralized control — even in games.
He quit WoW… and began dreaming of decentralized systems.
Out of that frustration, Ethereum was born.
Today, ETH is the backbone of DeFi, NFTs, and the entire Web3 movement.
Crazy how one small change in a video game sparked a global tech revolution.
