Ethereum and Smart Contracts: A whole new world unleashed

Ethereum is the second largest crypto currency by market capitalization. Today the price of one Ethereum is 2,600$ with a market capitalization of 315 billion dollars. Vitalik Buterin at the age of 23 in 2015 along with other founders like Charles Hoskins, Anthony Di Iorio, Joseph Lubin and Gavin Wood launched Ethereum based on his 2013 paper.

Vitalik joined the bitcoin bandwagon at a very early stage writing for Bitcoin weekly. His first article paid him five bitcoins which were worth four dollars at that time. He then founded Bitcoin Magazine in 2011.
