I happen to have one of the oldest Ethereum addresses from the genesis block. 11 years ago today, I gave some of my precious BTC to a quiet, brilliant kid named @VitalikButerin for his @ethereum fundraiser. Bitcoin was revolutionary, but Vitalik had ideas the network couldn’t support. He saw what could be built, and I believed him. So I showed up and helped however I could. I still do. #ethereum10years

Watch this if you haven't already, it's Vitalik explaining his vision of what Ethereum could be way back in early 2014 at Bitcoin Miami
