3:10 pm, September 15, 2022

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of the Ethereum cryptocurrency, spoke Ukrainian half an hour after arriving in Kyiv — the organizers of the Kyiv Tech Summit published a video of Buterin listing the months of the year in our nightingale language.

Attending the Kyiv Tech Summit hackathon was the first visit of the father of ethereum to Ukraine. Previously, Buterin had not announced any plans to physically attend the event, which was held with additional security measures — many guests attended the event only online to avoid risk.

During the panel discussion, Buterin and the other guests discussed the use of cryptocurrencies to finance Ukraine in the current situation, the post-war role of blockchain and technology in the country’s recovery, and many other painful but necessary topics.

«I think Ukraine can become the next Web3 hub. The Ethereum Foundation has centers in Boulder (Colorado, USA), Berlin, and Singapore, as crypto communities have grown organically there. A country can become a Web3 center if its citizens are actively interested in this technology and decide to make a significant contribution to its development. Ukraine has both the capabilities and the determination to do so,» said Vitalik Buterin.

«It's incredible to be as courageous as Ukraine, isn’t it? I wanted to see with my own eyes what projects and applications based on Ethereum are being created here and meet the people behind them the father of Ethereum shared his impressions.

As a reminder, Vitalik Buterin, who was born in Russia, sent cryptocurrency donations for Ukrainians using Tornado Cash. It is known that in April he sent 1500 ETH to the accounts of Ukrainian charities. The Ethereum co-founder took this step because he did not want the Russian government to have information about the transferred funds and track Buterin’s actions.

It is obvious that Vitalik loves and supports Ukraine, and Ukraine loves Vitalik! Therefore, today the Ukrainian crypto community is sincerely happy about the successful The Merge!
