Dude is a fucking stud… 2nd youngest billionaire in the world!? Crazy
Do we have an additional source on this? If so, that’s pretty awesome!
Elon’s gonna be butthurt about this…
Charities say Thank You Mr. Buterin
Just another reason Iâm happy buying ETH
Thatâs pretty crazy, 25K turned to 4M
I’m fully on-board the ETH train, but this place is starting to form a bit of a cult-like following around this guy.
Wow good for him. Idc
Iâm going to assume this is true OP. Have a gold for sharing this. VB is the mind that will lead us to an enlightened future.
Vitalik >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Elon Musk

Maybe he is one of the billionare that I don’t really hate.
What’s $4M amongst friends? Especially when you’re already a billionaire
Someone went an downvoted all the replies. Fixed what I could. Tool
This guy’s heart is in the right place.
Heâs the man. Lets go.
tldr; Ethereum co-creator Vitalik Buterin has revealed he profited over $4 million from a $25,000 investment that he made into Dogecoin in 2016. He gave it all away to charity. He recalled being caught off-guard by the speculative frenzy that resulted from Elon Musk’s fascination with the meme-coin.{}

Yay, same thing that’s been posted many other times, again. Sub’s on fire.
4 mill is most likely pocket change for him. But it’s still awesome that he did that.
He really seems like one of those chill really good dudes đ
Just let me hate you man
But i thought dogecoin was a bad investment or just a meme coin?
He just seems like a really nice and kind guy
Vitalik is a legend. And to think none of this would have happened if Blizzard hadn’t removed the damage component of his beloved warlock’s Siphon Life spell.
?????
25k of doge in 2016 would be just south of half a billion.
That entire podcast is 3 hours of mostly Vitalik talking and I could honestly listen to 3 more hours on top of that of him talking. Dude is just so…listenable to?
This is the way.
Itâs easy to give away millions when suckers buy you shitcoin.
It’s nice of him to give it all away to charity.
Still…selling when everyone says hodl wasn’t nice.
In average Joe terms he had 1000 bucks and gave 4 bucks to charity.
It’s nice, but not really hurting him at all.
If thatâs true then very good on him. If there must be a âface of cryptoâ (and letâs face it, right or wrong somebody will be made into one) much better him than that pest beginning with E.
Also the animated Vitalik here is really quite adorable!
But, like if I had 25,000 to âgive awayâ shiiiit maybe I could have made a difference too. I could have made an important contribution…
Wouldnât you?
I bet that the IRS hates this guy
According to Vitalik Bitcoin #1 and then ETH and Doge #2 and #3 in whatever order.
Iâm Charity, and I havenât seen anything⌠đĽ¸
This just shows that he really wants to change the world for the better. This man is going to be a legend in the history books.
Well, what do you know … he invested in DOGE too.
Vitalik definitely is the better one to represent us
lol, lets say dude is worth JUST 1bil. 4 million of 1 billion is .4% Let’s say my savings has 50K, .4% of that is $200. Can you guys write of my praises and worship me for my $200 donation?
Hi, itâs me. Charity.
Why are you repeating what someone has posted before?
Doge – Do Only Good Everyday
Forget the 4 million he made now because it means nothing to him now, but imagine putting in $25,000 in Doge back then đ¤ŻđMad respect.
I honestly don’t give a shit about these heartwarming articles anymore thats supposed to make someone look like a fucking hero. This guy invented a crypto currency. Good for him… the real heros are the ones over looked. The ones taking out your trash , performing surgeries, hooking up your home with electricity, these people are running short on the ground. .if you don’t have a skill or trade that builds America . America will be run into a shit show ..stop.folk heroing this guy’s !
He still owns doge.
Buterin and the EF premined 70% of all coins in circulation. Let’s ignore that and focus on fostering this cult of Ethereum around one guy who has endorsed child porn and completely undermine the integrity of the network which already runs on rented servers with only 3000 active nodes.
Software rules. No rulers.
