That's nice. He's a scammer. If you support him or his work, so are you.

Really, I was just thinking what a rare moral man this dude appears to be. Not that you can ever know for sure at a distance but I've never heard anything especially negative about him. Did the ETH founders even gain especially from its rise, if it were me I'd have a million ETH stashed away betting on my own genius involvement and knowledge I stick with things. But apparently they didnt do this, contrast this to Ripple for example and ETH looks golden in comparison.

Last best hope for crypto kind meme worthy Tongue

, Vitalik is surely not that bad whatever it is you are mentioning. Nobody is perfect of course

It's a well deserved award for him. Having a crypto guy getting this will be a great motivation!

At a black tie gala, inventor and founder Vitalik Buterin, will be receiving his genius award on May 11th in New Jersey City.
Vitalik was introduced to the blockchain at the age of 19 and was not satisfied with what he saw. So he developed his own decentralized applications and the concept of using smart contracts on a blockchain was born.

There will be three others who will take part in the awards ceremonies.

Here is a quote from the article of who those might be:

Other recipients of the 2018 Genius Award include Sara Seager, described as the “Indiana Jones of Astronomy;” Laurie Santos, renowned for teaching the “Science of Happiness;” and George Church, described as a “legendary genomics pioneer.”

Since it is being held in the states I am wondering what he would say if he likes the American economy and if he is willing to work with them on improving their system just like Putin asked him when he visited Russia.
He is Russian and currently is in collaboration with their government to create a monetary system to work on the blockchain.

A monetary system is the set of institutions by which a government provides money in a country's economy. Modern monetary systems usually consist of the national treasury, the mint, the central banks and commercial banks.

I think vitalik is a genius. His answers to questions are very clever, and I think it is a big probability that, we will see him with great projects and innovative ideas in the future too.

I'm comparing him to Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba who also one of the game changer as far as online retailer. The way they talk and answer question are somewhat cryptic, Grin

. I'm not update though as to what's the latest about him specially about working from behind, although I'm a follower of him in twitter.

He really deserves this accolade. At a young age, just like any innovator in our history, he involves himself developed his own technology and now we are very happy using his innovation.

He apparently deserves it, young intelligent smart and brought breakthroughs to crypto currency
The smart contract for several tokens have made light weight and brought more investors

I’m sure this news would have positive impact in the market trend

I agree 100%. At only 19 nonetheless. Imagine what he'll do in the future.

I think that Vitalik has earned this reward. He is from a young age acquainted with the crypto and actively develops the ETH Empire. Vitalik is a brilliant person who has created a really big and effective coin that has many fans around the world.

Watching the vice news program where this clip of vitalik buterin was featured in.
It is called A Revolution in Ruins and New Kids on the Blockchain.
Starts with the libyain war but the disrupters of the blockchain are later in the program.
If anyone who is wanting to see it you got to download it because it is over a week and a half old.
Vice news s06 e03 if that helps you find it.

Enjoy!

He deserves that award. Hope ETH will grow after his win

Nobody is denying that he deserves it but I am curious how this will effect his ego. Surely being told you're a genius by everybody surrounding you has elevated his ego such that he believes his opinions are worth more than they are in some instances. Nonetheless well done chap, glad to see the world recognize people who are younger and not dismissing them because of their age

.

I do not think it goes to his head in receiving such an award. He knows he is a genius and people need to accept that he is. And if anyone else think they can do the same and debunk this fact, then by all means, do it!
Geniuses are this way because they do not define themselves by what others base them on and just do what they do. That's all really.
They do not go with the flow of what EVERYBODY ELSE is doing, they go by the beat of their own drum.
Pretty cool if you ask me.
And more or less do not care what other people are doing, it is being arrogant but if it works for them, so who is to say anything?
He already has been focused on in an upcoming documentary a month ago.

Just looking at the comments is pretty funny.
One of them says he has an IQ of 8000. Cheesy

I'm not familiar with the other awardees but for Vitalik he deserves the award for contributing very well to the crypto community with his creation of ETH.

Quote from: yugyug on April 30, 2018, 07:02:17 PM

i wish if Satoshi Nakamoto really revealed himself to give credits and recognition of his innovative idea about blockchain technology.

I hope so that he will give credits to Satoshi Nakamoto as well since he won't have an idea on what ETH if it's not about blockchain and bitcoin that originally came from Satoshi.

We don't personally know him but if someone met him face to face can share his experience and interaction with VB, we might get an idea.

Well, he is obviously a genious but I'm a bit confused that he is recieving this award only now. imho if it could be recueved by anyone why did something great at the past years then I bet there are a lot young people that invented something more significant. It seems like this award mostly depends on recent trends in medias then the real worth of the invention. He should have got this award at least a year ago.
