I think nearly everyone here is used to hear the name of Vitalik Buterin, but except for the Ethereum Foundation, many people don’t really know anything about him, so here is a little appreciation post for one of the Greatest Of All Time, and we can contest this as much as you want, we will probably not make half the impact he made on the crypto world.

Here are some cool facts about the man, the myth, the legend, Vitalik :

• He created Ethereum, which is by itself enough to make him a legend

• He launched Ethereum at 20 years old

• He founded Bitcoin Magazine in 2011, making him one of the first to see the potential of cryptos, and he did that at 17 years old

• When he was 6 years old (yes, 6), he made a very complex and detailed encyclopedia about bunnies on Microsoft Excel

• He dropped out of college to work on the Ethereum blockchain (don’t get me wrong, don’t drop out, I’m just saying that man knew how strong his project was)

• He litteraly gave A BILLION DOLLAR in Shiba to help the India to fight the covid-19 pandemy, trolling at the same times all the Shiba holders that gave him this money in order to pump the coin

• He made donations to other charities for a total of more than 400 millions of dollar (in addition to the previous billion)

• Ha has an honorary doctorate at the University of Basel, which is cool for someone who dropped out from school

• He received the Peter Thiel fellowship, I don’t know what it is but it definitely looks cool

• Man is russian-canadian, that’s cool

This guy is really well known in the crypto community, but I wanted to show you guys a bit of how talented and generous he is, he really is one of the people we as a community should talk about :)

Maybe there could be a question about it in the next Trivia for Moons, so don’t forget ;)

Disclaimer : obviously, the ultimate G.O.A.T is, and will always be Satoshi Nakamoto, the goal of this post is not to start a war or a debate about the Flippening
