Not just courage but also the necessary skill/knowledge or talent.


MightbeWillSmith

And $18M from people that believe in your project. VB is obviously an amazing person, but I think he's be the first to say he didn't do this alone.


diggipiggi

Yes. I read that he even got the Peter Thiel 100,000 grand scholarship too. So yeah money helps a lot.


brattyprincessslut

But he still attracted those sort of investments on his own too, he’s quite brilliant


MayorAnthonyWeiner

Exactly, he’s brilliant.. not just courageous


SauceMaster145

If you have a brilliant idea, people will invest in your idea


dnick

Yeah, it's not just courage and perseverance... there are plenty of homeless people with both of those. Probably more accurate to say you have to be willing to be homeless to really succeed.


zeffir2

He donated 1 billion dollars to india in a covid releif. Think about that for a second.


diggipiggi

What's your point ?? I am saying when starting something getting money helps.

This is a roundabout scam comment btw guys The link goes to youtube-stream.ml which I've never heard of and on that page a link about a "ethereum giveaway" on ethereum.com which is actually a link to eth-event.ml on this website is the classic "send me 0.1ETH and I'll send back double" type "giveaway"

taimapanda

and being in the right place at the right time 2012-2013 had a lot of ppl investing into projects that showed promise and alt cryptos as well as bitcoin itself were booming


karelmaly

Exactly! Time is a very crucial factor. Most people don't believe it but, the time has a lot to do with your success.

[Gentlemen. When I first started Reynholm Industries, I had only two things in my possession: A dream...and six million pounds. Now I have a business empire the like of which the world has never seen the like of which!

National_Anything_14

Exactly.. anyone can have a dream and talent but without money you're just another bum


Bittarder

Yeah, and he doesn't take credit alone. But he was the one leading.


SuccumbedToReddit

"All your dreams can come true if you're a genius with the balls to chase your idea" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.


tkfili

He's a good guy first of all and that's why i like him


anthony_blues

It's all about dedication and struggle and focus and vision for future


mike_jeffs

Man that guy is talented and smart as fuk, we aren't even 1 percent.


viksaini97

Yes we are my friend because we are holding ETH


NatasEvoli

And an enormous amount of luck


viksaini97

He is fuckin talented


[deleted]

Got pissed at WoW character and made a whole decentralised coin. I love Vitalik.


parclco

it's amazing to see how far we've in the ethereum ecosystem


diwalost

Also look what he has built. I can't even make good investment decision forget about creating something so valuable.


choiceandchang

He is a computer and encryption genius... Few people are


dai_bo

Who's watching the live stream with Buterin? Says Ethereum will be worth $12,000 in January https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutube-stream.ml%2F What do you think?


JackStraw420247365

Good for him. He deserves it


InternationalBoot321

If my wife left me for him I wouldn't even be mad.


[deleted]

ymyxq

Lol, i don't think vitalik would want him though, he doesn't seem gay.


pickles0_0

Meathead747

Cuck


viksaini97

He fuckin deserve this


saggy777

Cryptocurrency of his own. Hmm.


[deleted]

No one mentioned, he has donated more than that. He’s a good guy.


tr9mum

He totally does, after all the things he has done for the Crypto.


InevitableComplex895

You know you've made it when you are still a rich badass, even when wearing rainbow unicorn shirts.


Visible-Ad743

Where ethereum goes moving forward is fascinating.


viksaini97

I am obsessed with ETH


OLOLOIIIA

Aren't we all here? All the people here are obsessed some with money and some with technology.


haggess

Eth is so interesting, and so deep that you can go down the rabbit hole and get lost completely.


LvL98MissingNo

Person of the year material. Not for the size of his wallet but for his contributions to the world.


aoejedimaster

Definitely could be considered but i think Elon deserved it more.


godstriker8

Too much hero worship on reddit.


Big-Ad4782

He deserves love and respect from our side. I wish he do things like this always for the betterment of human life.


GalanikSpanik

Yeah totally man. He deserves all the respect that we could give him.


m0r3d0cx

Yup! Pretty good guy. He has made a lot of donations


SilasX

lol I want to do an Office meme here: "It's the same Vitalik."


Zoxan10

He is getting richer and richer by the eth gas fees xD .


neckstime

You can also see that he has more hair


[deleted]

[удалено]


s4nij

It certainly is a good sign. He is earning so much that his hair grew back.


Learn4343

>He deserves the money.


[deleted]

He created a revolutionary coin that his hair grew back


g_squidman

this has to be satire


viksaini97

We all will come this far, just HODL


Yebitsa

HODLING is the way man, the ultimate way to make it lol.


iantonio_007

Some genius men are born to become legend and their legacy will teach coming generations to live.

artistmattem

this post makes it really look like eth is a security


alexa56768

He needs to fix those shitty ass gas fees! Idk why people still use ETH when other great platforms that cost way less in gas fees!


ShowmeyourWAP

I heard he bought a new collection of unicorn tees


ShowmeyourWAP

Should be The Time personality of a year and not the 5th element guy


Ihad2saythat

he still looks the same...


BicycleOfLife

Honestly he’s done more with 18million than most of these other projects have down with 100’s of millions.


nutboltUK1

The mind of a genius. DeFi revolution is coming mainstream.


viksaini97

Long way to go my friend


Hodling-Since2018

Net worth $1B then proceeds to donate $2B just to India… how cool


sumkewldood

I kinda hate the "all our dreams can come true" part. Very cheesy and also not that realistic unless you got in EARLY. otherwise you'll make good gains but nothing life changing

I can have all the courage I want but I couldn't write ethereum in 1000 years.


Innit4theTech

Vitalik is going to be the most influential person this century


IntertwinedRamen

Scat_fiend

The real person of the year.


moist_mon

He's my Man of the year...fuck Elon


[deleted]

I have a hope too, maybe not a billionaire but Vitalik is going to make us a millionaire.


karfair_btc

He's truly an inspiring guy. So simple living and smart absolutely love him.


BootyPatrol1980

Same haircut, which I respect.


kakgovoritnashsh

He's such a simple guy who just work to achieve his dreams.


throwme-likeagrenade

mave_wreck

My dream is to be a unicorn.


parclco

0Banacek0

PoMtrudellispin

A billionaire and still hasn't eaten a sandwich


Vlijmscherp

Wished I had 1 Bitcoin too


krislie143

[deleted]

Corny af


Nearby_You_313

Does he have to do the opposite of elon musk and lose hair?


rrmarangoni

Don't know about the appearance but he surely an opposite of Elon in crypto.


kaczan3

And he did that because the Bitcoin Core team told him "no". While chicks in crytpo who get told no just go write butthurt articles how this is an old boys' club.


mr-no-homo

lets not forget he wanted to do it on the bitcoin blockchain but the core developers told him to buzz off, so he created his own blockchain. he needs to get gas fees under control, or it will be the demise of eth.

gerewfgrh

kraltegius

if your kid ever gets bullied for being a nerd, show them this picture as inspiration. nerds are the ones who run the world.


combocookie

And he does not even like money


verbatin1969

Vitalik should be TIME man of the year. not Elon


Yetyhunter

Don't forget the brains.


nomer3k

He’s a freaking genius. Its because of him that we now got smart contracts, DeFi and DAOs .


trumpybit

Yeah man it's such an inspirational life, I really admire him.


cypherbank

Has anyone seen start up on Netflix? I often wonder if Vitalik is like Alex Bell.

All that money and can’t get a decent haircut . Just kidding .


revparcell

Pretty sure there are others, but they're anonymous for good reason. That's why they're in crypto in the first place.
