This is the best technical explanation of Ethereum I found so far. It all makes so much more sense now. Fascinating stuff!

So great to get the details from Vitalik himself!

[misterjaypeasmith]

The great thing abut Vitalik is his understanding of economics.  I'm totally humbled by this guys gift to world with Ethereum.

[mnemonic]

Vitalik is probably the most important person in a generation and yet most people growing up now will never know, makes me chuckle.

[SinghCapital]

I will never forget traveling to London back then and being in this room. Was a magical time, it’s amazing to see where we have come since then.

[DemandCapture]

It's very rare to see videos on YouTube without a single dislike. That goes without saying, your delivery is fantastic. Keep up!

[soulwisdomproductions]

To me this says there is a lot to learn and keep up with...exciting times for all of us

[cschmidt]

Truly amazing stuff! Mr Vitalik is a true genius. He is a bit awkward when he presents, but he is self-effacing and guileless so his awkwardness somehow enhances his presentations. The audience loves him, you can tell!

[Ronbo]

He's operating on a different plain and I hope he stays true to his decentralization ethos.

[ignaciobritos]

Jesus, what a clarity, effective and perfect way to explain.

[charliek]

Such a fascinating talk that is also quite thought provoking into how we view economics!

[arthurteo]

An Amazing Genius coupled by such sheer eloquence and clarity in speech: akin to "off-world" intellect in origin.

[whitenoiseratio]

Amazing speaker, a genius no less. Non condescending too I want to become a proper Maths geek after watching this :)

[austinwilliams]

Take a drink every time he says "so".

[anchorpoint]

Very cool stuff. I will definitely be watching this space!

[DaDooM]

(Refering to the size of the memory array) "Most of the limits in Ethereum they arent sort of static, they are economic". I think this is the most interesting sentence.

[igorkomerzan]

Watching this in 2021, ETH is less than $200 from $5k. What a journey it has been and its only just begun!

[anarchic_ramblings]

God, I wish I was smarter, so I could keep up with this stuff.

[shyamasingh]

Superb presentation with total conceptual clarity that only the founder wisdom can show the world.

[thevivekmathema]

I would be a millionare today if i had seen it that time.Vitamin explained so well
