In 2015, the 'Demon Child' was born, and Ethereum was created. Ethereum was the masterpiece of the 21-year-old 'little genius' Vitalik. Ethereum immediately changed the entire cryptocurrency industry. Terms like 'world computer', 'ICO', 'get-rich-quick myths', and 'speculative bankruptcy' constantly appeared on social networks. In this episode, we enter the world of Ethereum. The host, a coder, shares his insights on discovering and seizing the big opportunity of Ethereum early on, using his own experience of participating in Ethereum mining in 2016. In addition, the host delves into why ICOs collapsed, the relationship between graphics cards and mining, the FTX bankruptcy incident, and how Vitalik's values influenced the development of the Ethereum community.
