[Part II] Who is Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum?

The Birth of Ethereum

When designing Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto succeeded in removing “trust in third parties” from global payment systems by recording transactions on a decentralized ledger powered by a proof-of-work consensus algorithm. Transactions are sent to a network consisting of multiple computers, where all the computers cooperate to run compatible software to verify and execute the payments.

The idea of using blockchain technology to verify and execute payments, and the theoretical notion of applying it to more complex transactions between senders and recipients, existed even before Ethereum’s birth. The problem with Satoshi’s invention is that, for security reasons, the Bitcoin protocol was written to intentionally limit the complexity of operations that could be executed in the future.
