A Russian-Canadian writer and programmer, Vitalik is indeed influential in the Bitcoin community since 2011, co-founding and publishing articles for Bitcoin Magazine.

He is best regarded as the founder of Ethereum, a blockchain technology system meant to handle smart contracts and decentralized applications and currently the world’s second-most important and acknowledged cryptocurrency platform behind Bitcoin.

Vitalik has been involved with crypto for a while now, having developed an early interest in bitcoin. Earlier, he worked as Chief Editor of Bitcoin News, which covers innovations in the blockchain industry before moving to launch Ethereum, which helps developers create decentralized applications (DApps). Ethereum is the second most important digital asset.

Buterin elaborated Ethereum in a whitepaper. He proposed a platform, which has a general scripting language. Buterin researched and implementing security and expanding strategies for Ethereum, as the blockchain technology is striving to manage a meager fifteen transactions per second. Although the next lengthy step of Ethereum (dubbed Ethereum 2.0) is expected to arrive in 2021 or even later, Buterin has received outrage from most of the blockchain community for offering a brief solution by incorporating Bitcoin Cash (BCH): from the original Bitcoin that provides a wealth of data, which is better than Ethereum.

Later, he claimed that, in fact, necessary for the crypto community to maintain and have a massive social influence, it must abandon the rigid idealistic paradigm of the cryptographic protocols and focus more on the dynamics of a progressive system. In October, Buterin conducted a Twitter poll asking the group how much ETH will need to be at stake in order to endorse a reversion of chain operation to a big hack, with 61 percent choosing “Intervention Never OK.”

Vitalik Buterin suggested a method for introducing an early upgrade from Ethereum 1.0 to Ethereum 2.0 before the difficult network days later, postponing the transition.

Buterin strongly believes Ethereum executing is full of endless possibilities. “Ether” is used for paying transaction fees, and the main fuel for Ethereum. Financial applications provide users with efficient ways to enter into a contract. Token Systems represent assets like gold, USD, stocks, which are easy to implement in Ethereum.

Buterin and a group of researchers are proactive in addressing the challenging practical issues of a free, unauthorized computer network that can keep pace with established enterprises.

It will be a crucial year for the advancement of Ethereum, as researchers strive to configure that platform for such a long shift to a more flexible and less powerful, decentralized computing network. In fact, Ethereum 2.0 is the original goal for Ethereum: proof-of-stake consensus, state clustering, easy implementation of transactions, and more.
