Nine years ago, on this day, Vitalik Buterin announced Ethereum on the popular Bitcointalk forum.
Vitalik Buterin’s first tryst with the Bitcoin community dates back to 2011. He began participating in ‘Bitcointalk,’ a forum created by Satoshi Nakamoto. It was then that he co-founded and started writing articles for Bitcoin magazine. He began traveling to speak with BTC developers around the world in a bid to construct a new, potentially superior iteration of the Bitcoin blockchain.
In late 2013, Buterin described the idea of yet another digital currency in a white paper and sent it to a few of his friends. The vision was to develop a blockchain with a built-in programming language and platform for decentralized applications, an “android of the cryptocurrency world” of sorts.
Subsequently, Ethereum was officially announced on Bitcointalk on January 23rd, 2014. It has been exactly nine years since then. The blockchain’s story, from the whitepaper to the DAO attack, to the hard fork, scalability issues, and more recent Merge, has been anything but ordinary.
