Vitalik Buterin's first encounter with the Bitcoin community goes back to 2011. He began to take part in "BitcoinTalk", a forum founded by Satoshi Nakamoto. At that time he was a co-founder and began to write articles for the Bitcoin magazine. He started traveling to speak to BTC developers around the world to construct a new, possibly superior iteration of the Bitcoin blockchain.

at the end of 2013, butterin described the idea of ​​another digital currency in a white paper and sent it to some of his friends. The vision was the development of a blockchain with an integrated programming language and platform for decentralized applications, a kind of "Android of the cryptocurrency world".

Subsequently, Ethereum was officially announced on BitcoinTalk on January 23, 2014. Exactly nine years have passed since then. The history of the blockchain, from white paper to the DAO attack to Hard Fork, scalability problems and newer merge, was anything but usual.

"Welcome to the new beginning"

but revealed that the primary core developers together with him were Gavin Wood, Charles Hoskinson and Jeffrey Wilcke, while Anthony di Iorio, Mihai Alisie, Joseph Lubin and Stephan Tual were named as primary non-development members. Buterin's comment with the title "Welcome to the New Beginning, noted,

"Ethereum is a modular, state-of-the-fold, Turing-specific contractual script system that is connected to a blockchain and was developed with a philosophy of simplicity, universal accessibility and generalization. Our goal is to provide a platform for decentralized applications-an Android of the cryptocurrency world in which all efforts are a common sentence of APIS, trustworthy Interactions and no compromises. “

while he explained his idea, but the community asked the community to join the new ecosystem as a volunteer, developer, investors and evangelists. The focus was on enabling a "fundamentally different paradigm for the Internet and the relationships it offers".

the idea of ​​"Bitcoin dominance maximalism" question

In the same year, butterin challenged Bitcoin Dominance Maximum, a school of thinking that is still very relevant in the crypto ecosystem. His treatise essentially separated people who simply want to improve Bitcoin, from those who can be called "Bitcoin Dominance Maximalists" who are often classified as aggressive, hostile and toxic.

This was the first time that he questioned the ideology. Since then, Ethereum has become the most consistent and prominent goal of criticism of the proud "Bitcoin Maximalist". Despite the differences in culture and functionality, Ethereum has succeeded in claiming its position as the second largest cryptocurrency after market capitalization for almost a decade after its existence, even when most prominent old coins disappeared.
