Vitalik Buterin Biography

Vitalik Buterin is a Russian-Canadian programmer and writer best known as the co-founder of Ethereum and Bitcoin Magazine. Buterin met someone on a bitcoin chat room who was attempting to launch a bitcoin blog. The owner promised five bitcoin (about $3.50) to everyone who wrote an article for him. Buterin contributed to the site until it was shut down shortly thereafter owing to Bitcoin's lack of popular interest. Another individual approached Buterin in September 2011 about a new journal named Bitcoin Magazine, a position that Buterin would take as the first co-founder and contribute as a major writer. Buterin has also written on bitcoin for other media, including Bitcoin Weekly. Bitcoin Magazine, which began publishing a print version in 2012, has been dubbed the "first major publication dedicated to cryptocurrency." BTC Media then bought Bitcoin Magazine, where Buterin continued to publish until mid-2014. He was also a member of the editorial board of Ledger, a peer-reviewed scientific publication that publishes full-length original research articles on cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Buterin is a co-founder and inventor of Ethereum, which is characterized as a "decentralized mining network and software development platform wrapped into one" that enables the development of new coins and applications that share a single blockchain (a cryptographic transaction ledger). Ethereum was initially outlined in a white paper by Buterin in late 2013. Buterin claimed that a scripting language was required for bitcoin application development. When he couldn't get consensus, he advocated creating a new platform with a more broad scripting language.
