The most famous Ethereum co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, har været included in Time’s top 100 influential people of 2021 list. The magazine lists the most important people according to current events and specifies the unique roles of the individuals on the list.

Alexios Ohanian, one of the original builders of Reddit, discussed Buterin’s inclusion this year, ordsprog:
What makes Vitalik so special, selvom, is that he is a builder’s builder. No one person could’ve possibly come up with all of the uses for Ethereum, but it did take one person’s idea to get it started. From there, a new world has opened up, and given rise to new ways of leveraging blockchain technology—some of which I’ve invested in.
Ethereum Is a Platform for Platforms
Dette år, Ethereum has been the hotbed for the rise of NFTs, a technology that is changing how artists and creators monetize their work. Opensea, one of the main NFT markets, has already surpassed the one-billion-dollar mark in sales. Another important Ethereum-based project that has risen this year is Axie Infinity. Axie was created in 2017, but it is now in the spotlight due to the impressive income some are achieving by playing it. Axie is making a big impact in emerging economies like the Philippines and Venezuela.
Ohanian, who wrote the review for Buterin, also makes reference to some important projects in the Ethereum ecosystem. Han understregede:
Whether it’s startups like Sorare reinventing fantasy sports or Rainbow users showing off their NFT collections, none of this would’ve existed without Vitalik’s creation. I’ve never been more excited about the potential of the Internet, and that’s largely thanks to Vitalik Buterin.
Ethereum is now hovering over the $3,500 mærke, op 4.3% i den sidste 24 timer.
