His humble entrance and dedication impressed attendees.
The crypto community discussed the need for Buterin’s security.
Brussels, Belgium – Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, often hailed as one of the wealthiest and most influential figures in the cryptocurrency industry surprised many with his unassuming arrival at the ongoing EthCC conference. Public data suggests Buterin holds approximately $1 billion in cryptocurrencies and other assets. Despite his immense wealth and the Ethereum network’s valuation exceeding $350 billion, Buterin’s entrance to the event defied all expectations of grandeur.
Multiple videos circulating on social media platform X, verified by several sources, captured Buterin’s modest arrival. Braving the rainy Brussels weather, the founder of Ethereum arrived by bus without any security details. In a particularly noteworthy moment, Buterin was seen jumping across a puddle, nearly slipping, as he made his way to the conference venue.
The unconventional entrance left attendees and observers in awe. Michele Zanello, a Forbes Under 30 nominee, commented on Buterin’s humility, highlighting how he delivered his speech and answered audience questions while drenched in the rain. Zanello noted, “This man changed the history of innovation and blockchain, and he’s a billionaire without a bodyguard. Maximum humility.”
One attendee shared their experience on social media, initially doubting Buterin’s attendance at the event due to its lackluster nature. They expressed their astonishment when Buterin arrived by bus, soaked from the rain, and engaged fully with the audience. “He arrives by bus in the rain. Gives his speech soaking wet, answers all the questions, talks with the attendees…,” the attendee tweeted, highlighting Buterin’s dedication and accessibility.
Buterin’s lack of security details also sparked conversations within the crypto community, especially in light of reports of other attendees facing robbery in Brussels. Some community members argued that Buterin should consider having bodyguards, given his significant net worth and the potential impact on the Ethereum network if anything were to happen to him.
Vitalik Buterin’s appearance at EthCC, marked by his humility and commitment, has certainly made an impression. As the Ethereum community continues to grow and thrive, its co-founder’s actions serve as a reminder of the values and principles that underpin the blockchain movement.
