Le prix de l’Ether a dépassé les 3000 dollars le 4 mai 2021, faisant de son créateur, Vitalik Buterin, le plus jeune milliardaire crypto du monde à l’âge de 27 ans.
La crypto-monnaie a étendu ses gains à un autre sommet record, après avoir dépassé les 3000 dollars pour la première fois, un jour plus tôt, pendant que les investisseurs pariaient sur son utilité croissante. Sur le marché asiatique, il s’échangeait jusqu’à 3457,64 $ sur bitstamp.
Les traders ont attribué les gains – qui s’élèvent à 365% depuis le début de l’année – à un rattrapage de la hausse du Bitcoin à la fin de 2020 et à mesure que les mises à niveau de la blockchain Ethereum le rendent plus utile.
Selon Vitalik Buterin, le fondateur d’Ethereum, 27 ans donc, détient désormais plus d’un milliard de dollars d’ETH dans son portefeuille principal.
La flambée des prix d’Ethereum a fait de Vitalik Buterin le plus jeune milliardaire de crypto-monnaie et le deuxième plus jeune milliardaire autodidacte derrière Austin Russell. Austin Russell, qui a fondé Luminar Technologies en 2012, est devenu milliardaire à 25 ans. Selon Forbes, Russell a actuellement une valeur nette de 2,6 milliards de dollars.
Avant de lancer Ethereum, en 2012, Vitalik Buterin a cofondé et écrit pour Bitcoin Magazine avec Mihai Alisie, qui a ensuite rejoint Vitalik Buterin pour fonder Ethereum.
Il a également reçu la prestigieuse bourse Thiel en 2014, offrant 100 000 $ à des jeunes de moins de 23 ans pour poursuivre des projets en dehors du milieu universitaire.
Non seulement cela, l’artiste a été généreux et a également fait don d’environ 600000 $ en jetons d’éther à un fonds de secours COVID-19 pour l’Inde.
L’Ether est la deuxième plus grande crypto-monnaie avec une capitalisation boursière de 376 milliards de dollars après le bitcoin en valeur marchande. Il est également plus précieux que des sociétés comme Nestlé, Walt Disney Company et même la Bank of America en termes de capitalisation boursière totale.
Selon CoinMarketCap, avec la croissance exponentielle de la finance décentralisée (DeFi), du jeton non fongible (NFT) et de l’écosystème stablecoin, les prix de l’ethereum ont augmenté de plus de 320% depuis le début de 2021. Une révolution est définitivement en marche et la France, après perdu la guerre de l’intelligence artificielle et de l’informatique quantique, ne comprend toujours rien au sujet. Désespérant.

![The intersection of persona, product, propaganda, and profit. In 2021 is the brand Supreme any different than the brand GAGOSIAN? No. They are both strategic entities focused on valuations, cultural and capital. Each bestow status on their investors. What I am fascinated by is that they both trade in Dead Data. I find no intellectual difference between a Supreme x John Woo collaboration as GAGOSIAN exhibiting Harmony Korine’s paintings. In each case the two of them are basing the products social influence and exchange value on established [Dead] [Data] information. Both are DOA. Each of the artists and brands chosen for the first exhibition STUPID and the second DROPS are attempting an impossible narrative, to raise dead informational bits. What I find Intellectually horrifying is the scale of the audience and the financial market for this morbid display. The culturally transgressive destroys established values. The works in STUPID and DROPS are intellectual crimes in that they present what has already lost all meaning and value and the propaganda creates an altogether false meta-value. The transgressive preserves creative innocence by exposing the inherent corruption of the status quo.
