Vitalik Buterin is the brains behind Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest blockchain platform after Bitcoin. Here's a brief history:



°Russian Boy Genius: Born in Russia in 1994, Vitalik moved to Canada with his family at the age of 6. From an early age, he was known for his high IQ and a deep interest in mathematics, economics, and programming.

°Getting to Know Bitcoin: At the age of 17, he was introduced to Bitcoin by his father. Initially skeptical, he soon realized the immense potential of blockchain technology. He later co-founded Bitcoin Magazine to write about the crypto world.

°Creating Ethereum: Feeling that Bitcoin was too limited, Vitalik (then 19) in 2013 released a whitepaper proposing a new blockchain concept: a platform that not only processes transactions, but also runs decentralized applications through smart contracts .

°Launch & Vision: Ethereum was officially launched in July 2015. Buterin was not alone, he was assisted by colleagues such as Gavin Wood and Joseph Lubin.

°Impact: Ethereum is now the primary infrastructure for decentralized applications (dApps), DeFi, and NFTs.

Vitalik is known as a humble person and remains active in leading the development of Ethereum technology to this day.
