Who is Vitalik Buterin? The Russian-Canadian programmer moved west as a six-year-old with his family. In the third grade, he was placed in a gifted program, allowing his math and programming interests to really flourish. When he was a 17-year-old, his father introduced him to the concept of cryptocurrencies for the first time. An inspired Buterin then turned all his attention to the fledgling economy. Unable to mine or buy Bitcoin (the only major crypto at the time), he found someone who was willing to pay in Bitcoin for blogs. For every blog he wrote, Buterin earned 5 Bitcoins.  In late 2011, he founded Bitcoin Magazine with Mihai Alisie, a Bitcoin enthusiast in Romania. After school, he attended the University of Waterloo, completing five advanced courses while working as a writer and as a part-time assistant. During this time, he became a leading authority in the industry on crypto but was yet to go all-in. That happened in 2013. Buterin attended a crypto conference in San Jose
