Truth is that most of us wouldn't where we are in crypto if Vitalik hadn't built Ethereum. Aside from being somewhat of a genius, he truly is trying to create something that will outlast him. The amount of apps and protocols built on Ethereum is a testament to how good Ethereum is. Sure, it has it's weaknesses compared to some blockchains, but it is battle tested. It has proven that it is trustworthy and where you want to build.

Singlehandedly responsible for more crypto adoption than most other figures combined. His work has allowed just a massive percentage of individuals and protocols in this industry to thrive and succeed. He is also involved in many worthwhile philanthropic/charitable ventures. One of the GOATs.

Creator of Ethereum, a blockchain based on decentralization and scalability with the integration of Smart Contracts. Ethereum has always been defined as BTC's vice, even though many new blockchains are currently being created. It remains the most decentralized of all, with the integration of Layer 2 it will always remain high on the cryptocurrency podium, both in terms of number of transactions and capitalization. The only flaw of Ethereum are the gas fees, very expensive when the network traffic is congested. Vitalik should work to solve the problem. As for his work, he has built a solid blockchain so much respect for this very extravagant guy.

Big respect, he did it his way.

Whether you like it or not, Vitalik and his contributions through Ethereum have changed the face of crypto forever.

based dev and probably one of the greatest man alive who brought the most adoption to crypto.

After Satoshi, arguably no one deserves more credit than Vitalik for creating what we have today. Without him I wouldn't be able to make a living sitting on my couch in my underwear all day, gambling and posting titty gifs. I'll forever be grateful, for he enabled me to live the degenerate life I always dreamed of.

Vitalik should be the litmus test for knowledgeable founders who stay out of the way yet work to get things done. I know a lot of people might say, "Hey! Jeff of HyperLiquid is a good one, too. But yeah! Vitalik is as well.
