Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum $ETH , recently revealed the reasons why he did not hide his identity when creating the second most popular cryptocurrency platform, unlike the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, author of $ETH . In 2013, when the idea of Ethereum was born, Buterin decided to act openly to gain the trust of the community and investors. According to him, anonymity could have undermined trust at a time when the crypto industry was just beginning to form, and transparency became a key factor for success.
Buterin noted that the context of the time required personal responsibility and open dialogue with developers and users. This approach allowed him to attract like-minded individuals, such as Gavin Wood and Charles Hoskinson, and lay the groundwork for the widespread adoption of Ethereum. The rejection of anonymity also helped the project receive grants and support, including the World Technology Award in 2014.
Today, Ethereum remains the leader due to its open philosophy, which contrasts with Bitcoin's anonymous beginnings. Buterin continues to emphasize the importance of transparency for the development of blockchain technologies, which strengthens the platform's position in the market.
