He may look awkward in photos. He may not dress like a billionaire. But make no mistake: Vitalik Buterin is 10 steps ahead of the world. He didn’t just build a blockchain. He reshaped the internet. This is the story of how a shy math prodigy became the architect of Ethereum, turned $0 into $1.3 billion, and sparked the movement that now powers DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs. From Russia to the Blockchain Vitalik Buterin was born in 1994 in Kolomna, Russia. When he was six, his family moved to Canada, seeking better opportunities. 🔹 At 17, he discovered Bitcoin, introduced by his father 🔹 By 2011, he was already writing Bitcoin articles, paid in BTC — worth just pennies back then 🔹 He quickly became obsessed with cryptography and economics 🔹 In 2012, he co-founded Bitcoin Magazine, one of the first crypto publications But as Vitalik dove deeper, he noticed something important: Bitcoin was too limited. It was great for payments — but not built to host complex apps. Birth of an Idea: Ethereum In 2013, at just 19 years old, Buterin released the Ethereum whitepaper. 🔹 A new blockchain idea: not just for payments 🔹 But for smart contracts — code that executes itself, without middlemen 🔹 He envisioned decentralized applications (dApps) that could run on-chain The world didn’t take him seriously. 🔹 Critics said it was impossible 🔹 Investors were skeptical But Buterin didn’t stop. The Launch of Ethereum By 2015, after assembling a team of developers and raising funds through crowdfunding, Vitalik launched Ethereum. It was the beginning of a new era in crypto. 🔹 It enabled the rise of DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and more 🔹 Developers worldwide built apps on Ethereum — unlocking use cases never possible on Bitcoin 🔹 It weathered multiple crashes, forks, and market cycles — but kept growing Ethereum was no longer just a blockchain. It became a global internet of value. A Step Toward Sustainability In 2022, under Buterin’s guidance, Ethereum achieved something revolutionary: The merge to Proof-of-Stake. 🔹 Energy usage dropped by 99.98% 🔹 A major leap toward a more sustainable future While critics focused on speculation, Buterin focused on purpose. The Scale of Ethereum Today As of 2023: 🔹 Over 4,000+ dApps run on Ethereum 🔹 More than 71 million wallets are registered 🔹 Ethereum has a market cap of over $400 billion And Vitalik? Still wearing basic T-shirts. Still writing long-form blog posts. Still deeply involved in the technical direction of Ethereum. A Humble Billionaire with a Mission Despite his wealth, Buterin never cared about money. 🔹 He has donated over $1 billion to causes including COVID relief and crypto education in India 🔹 He openly criticizes speculation and hype 🔹 His mission: to fight centralization and build tools that solve real problems “Technology is a tool. Its value is determined by how we use it.” That’s the philosophy that guides him. And it's why Ethereum continues to evolve — not as a get-rich-quick platform, but as a decentralized infrastructure for the next era of the internet. Conclusion: Legacy in the Making Vitalik Buterin didn’t just write code. He rewrote the rules of money, governance, and ownership. 🔹 From writing blog posts for BTC 🔹 To building a $400B network 🔹 To donating a billion dollars to global causes He has done it all while staying curious, humble, and true to his vision. His story is proof that deep knowledge, persistence, and ethics can move markets — and change the world. $ETH

JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the U.S, has begun suing more customers it has accused of stealing funds in last year’s so-called “infinite money glitch” scheme. The bank also revealed it’s going after customers who allegedly stole amounts below $75,000. A person familiar with the matter highlighted that the bank had sent letters to 1,000 customers demanding they repay funds since October. The individual also maintained that some people returned money on their own after reports were made the same month that the bank was going after potential fraudsters who had withdrawn the largest amounts. The largest bank in the U.S., JPMorgan Chase, has begun suing customers this week who were accused of stealing funds in last year’s so-called “infinite money glitch.” The financial institution revealed it’s now targeting customers who allegedly stole below $75,000. A person familiar with the matter argued that the bank will now have to file complaints in state courts instead of the federal courts it chose last year. The incident happened in late August last year and went viral in videos posted to social media, where customers withdrew the entire value of a fraudulent check before it bounced. The bank said in a suit filed Tuesday afternoon in Gwinnett County, Georgia, that “on August 29, 2024, a masked man deposited a check in Defendant’s Chase bank account in the amount of $73,000.00.” According to the financial institution, a series of cash withdrawals at two Chase branches in the state totaling $82,599 had been made by the time the check bounced six days later. The lawsuit indicated that the accused owes the bank $57,847.69 but hasn’t complied with requests to return the funds. According to a person with knowledge of the company’s deliberations, the bank is also filing lawsuits in state venues in Miami, Florida; the Bronx, New York; and Texas counties. The individual also mentioned that the bank looked at thousands of potential cases and chose to litigate the largest amounts with the clearest pattern of theft. “We’re still investigating cases of fraud and cooperating with law enforcement – and we’ll do that for as long as it takes to hold fraudsters accountable.” ~ Drew Pusateri, a spokesman for JPMorgan Chase. The New York-based bank is also considering pushing back against the bankruptcy filing of alleged “infinite money” fraudsters. The bank noted in one of its motions made this week in bankruptcy court in Grand Rapids, Michigan, it asked a judge for more time to object to the customer’s attempt to discharge his or her debts. JPMorgan alleged that it’s the “holder of an unsecured claim” that resulted from “actions taken by the Debtor to deposit a fraudulent check in the amount of $44,779.46.” The bank also added that the Debtors immediately made numerous cash withdrawals on August 30, 2024, as well as various Cash App transactions to himself. Pusateri argued that there are genuine and important reasons people use bankruptcy protections, but “getting rid of debts you accumulated through fraud isn’t one of them.” The bank had urged its customers not to commit check fraud after a viral trend took over TikTok and X in late August last year. Users were being told that there was a systemwide glitch and that if they deposited false checks in an ATM and withdrew that money soon afterward, they would be able to cheat the system and withdraw a large sum of cash before the check bounced. Chase reminded its customers that the supposed “glitch” was actually an invitation to commit fraud. The financial firm also added that “regardless of what you see online, depositing a fraudulent check and withdrawing the funds from your account is fraud, plain and simple.” According to the meme database Know Your Meme, a conversation about the “glitch” was first mentioned on X, where a user shared an excessive balance of more than $80,000 in his account.

U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $76.4 million in net inflows on Tuesday, marking a second consecutive day of positive flows following last week’s market meltdown. Tuesday's $76.4 million inflow follows Monday’s $1.5 million inflow and a seven-day outflow of $878 million that ended last Friday, according to SoSoValue data. BlackRock's IBIT, the largest spot bitcoin ETF by net assets, led the inflows on Tuesday with $38.2 million. Ark and 21Shares' ARKB saw inflows of $13.4 million, and Bitwise's BITB reported nearly $11 million in inflows. The Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust and Franklin Templeton's EZBC also logged positive flows. "Much of the ETF flows are driven by the basis trade (i.e. long spot ETF short CME futures). In the last few days, the CME basis yield has rebounded as the risk-on assets started to stabilize," Peter Chung, head of research at Presto Research, told The Block. "The ETF inflows over the last few days may therefore be a result of the changing dynamics between the spot and the futures market." Bitcoin fell 2% over the past 24 hours to $83,642 after briefly rising above $86,000 on Tuesday, according to The Block’s bitcoin price page. The world’s largest cryptocurrency tanked last week amid a broader market meltdown fueled by a series of tariff policies from U.S. President Donald Trump. Total trading volume across the 12 spot bitcoin ETFs amounted to $1.6 billion on Tuesday, down from $2.2 billion on Monday and $3.5 billion last Friday. Meanwhile, spot Ethereum ETFs continued to see outflows, with $14.2 million exiting the products on Tuesday, extending their streak of negative flows to six days.
