Vitalik Buterin to visit India for first-ever Blockchain Summit in Dec

Bitcoin is evidently one of the most sensational inventions of our times. The most popular cryptocurrency till date, with a large user database , considerable media attention and a high market valuation that has created many crypto millionaires and the technology behind it is minting millionaires every day with the tools to print their own currency.

 It was a first of its kind invention that made its way into our collective consciousness gradually, despite skepticism by many naysayers, attempts to thwart by many powerful entities, and a collective gasp of dismay by  regulators around the world. Bitcoin’s eventful ride has definitely taken it past the point of no return as far its acceptability and fungibility as an independent currency go. That it has defied the collective rational thinking minds of reluctant hordes of economists, statisticians, policy makers, bankers and drawn them gradually into their fold with its buoyancy.

Among the sceptics was also Vitalik Buterin,  a teen who studied it but had dismissed it as a passing fad before returning to its siren call. Inescapably  in its clutches the second time, Vitalik went on to invent the open source protocol that would make the technology behind bitcoin applicable to myriad uses beyond the limited scope as token of value or digital currency!
