Buterin sent it to 15 people, who in turn sent it to their friends. As soon as the news spread, Butrin's idea quickly exploded in the Bitcoin community.
Butrin thought there were still many loopholes in his idea, but who would have thought it was very popular. Many people are excited about this avant-garde idea and come to you personally, hoping to cooperate with Butrin.
At that time, Butlin had just won a $65,438+million Thiel Scholarship (a scholarship established by Paypal founder and Silicon Valley investment tycoon peter thiel to encourage young people under the age of 20 to start businesses). Before the money became hot, Buterin used it to develop a distributed computing platform based on blockchain technology, called Etherum.
At the same time, Butrin also designed a new cryptocurrency-Ether for Ethereum. In 20 15, Ethereum was officially launched.
In the past two years, the emergence of Ethereum has activated the great potential behind the blockchain: the price of 20 17 Ethereum has increased by 85 times; The ICO founded by Ethereum has become the hottest fund crowdfunding method in 20 17, and has raised more than $4 billion through ICO worldwide. In 20 17, the global market value of electronic money soared from1800 million dollars at the beginning of the year to 560 billion dollars.
If Satoshi Nakamoto (the founder of Bitcoin) is the creator of the blockchain, then Butrin, 24, has pushed the blockchain to the forefront. Therefore, Butrin also got a nickname: V God.
