🎥 A human film. A crypto legacy. A decentralized dream.
When you hear the name Vitalik Buterin, you might picture code, tokens, or DeFi. But what if the most compelling part of Ethereum’s story wasn’t smart contracts — but the person behind them?
Filmmakers Zach Ingrasci and Chris Temple — known for bold documentaries — just dropped “Vitalik: An Ethereum Story”, and it’s turning heads across both crypto and mainstream media. But this isn’t your typical crypto hype flick.
🌍 A Global Human Story — Not Just Crypto
From Ukraine to Colombia, Montenegro to Toronto, the crew followed Vitalik across continents, exploring his quirky personality, childhood roots, and emotional journey as Ethereum became more than tech — it became real-world impact.
They filmed him making breakfast, sipping tea, and talking to military officials in Kyiv. Why? Because Ethereum wasn’t built to pump charts — it was built to move money faster than banks ever could, even on war fronts. And it did — raising $130M+ for Ukraine.
💡 Vitalik as a Builder, Not a Billionaire
The film unpacks Vitalik not as a “crypto founder,” but as a global nomad with deep values, self-awareness, and the quiet courage to speak out.
He questions the million-dollar NFT culture. He dreams of Ethereum as infrastructure for good, not just speculation. And he struggles — like many of us — with what kind of leader to be in a noisy, tribal space.
“Vitalik is our human hook... He’ll surprise you. Break your stereotypes. And leave you a little more hopeful than you expected.”
– Zach Ingrasci
