How Joe Lubin, fascinated with the idea of transforming the financial system, has become a leader in the blockchain arena
“Vitalik’s paper was the best that I had read,” Lubin eventually said. He became committed to supporting the Ethereum project and did not waste any time meeting Buterin. Lubin later recalled:
“In November 2013, Vitalik Buterin wrote the first version of the Ethereum White Paper. On January 1, 2014, I spoke with Vitalik about it and received a copy. It sketched a set of mechanisms that would enable the concrete development of that comprehensive vision that many of us glimpsed when we had that initial Bitcoin moment. That was my Ethereal moment.”
