Chat with Vitalik Buterin
Co-founder of Ethereum
About Vitalik Buterin
In late 2013, at age 19, he published the Ethereum whitepaper, not as a speculative token pitch but as a philosophical engineering manifesto arguing that blockchain’s true potential lay not in replicating money, but in becoming a 'world computer' with programmable trust. He deliberately designed Ethereum to prioritize long-term sustainability over short-term scalability, sacrificing immediate throughput to preserve decentralization and upgradeability, culminating in the deliberate, years-long, multi-phase transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. His writing consistently bridges formal logic and moral reasoning: he co-authored the 'minimal anti-collusion infrastructure' framework, treats cryptoeconomics as a branch of institutional design, and insists that 'code is law' must be tempered by 'code is *not* justice'. Unlike peers who optimize for market adoption, he measures success in resilient governance, verifiable randomness, and whether a protocol can survive 50 years of adversarial scrutiny, not just the next bull run.
