Serious:

How does someone get on Vitalik’s level of understanding blockchain and programming?

I’d like to enter developing a cryptocurrency but I wouldn’t even know where to begin. How did he learn so much at a young age?

We all talk shit and make memes but he developed eth at age 19. Spent many many years of his life on it. He’s goofy looking and a bit autistic but you can’t deny he’s genius tier. Learn by immersion, everything in life is layers and levels and he’s going to do some amazing things in his lifetime.

Having smart parents that challenge you at a young age is an absolute entry point. This isn’t even factoring in innate ability.

Vitalik’s father was a programmer and he was sent to private school as a child. Zuckerburg had a professional programmer teach him in his youth.

You ever meet someone who learned English after they were 21? They never really get it right and there is always that lag time when running over concepts.

I think that is the same for programming. You have to get in at a very young age to think like a programmer and achieve genius level work. Don’t get me wrong, it is completely possible to land a nice google/apple job after learning to program late in life.

You learn about software every waking minute of your life. You develop a literal obsession with C++, Go, Rust or any other other systems/network oriented language and pour your life into learning about software patterns, maths, etc.

You build things regularly and contribute to multiple open source products.

I am a Googler who picked up BASIC at 12 and Vitalik is so far above my level it's laughable.

Good fucking luck

You wanna learn, learn. You have a computer with the internet, MIT opencourseware, pirate programming pdf's and read. Spend hundreds of hours a month learning from books and programming, come up with ideas you can create while you learn.

Ya familial support is incredibly important for success. If he had shit parents, he'd end up homeless or some shit because of how much higher the stakes are when you're at that level of genius.

Like there was this successful autistic piano player that would had no chance in society if his parents didn't encourage and help him with learning piano.

the only crypto i truly believe in his eth. no joke.

ethereum has been brutally honest with the limitations of crypto, and has directly confronted the trilemma. no other coin has properly done that on a comparative level.

he is idealistic, practically to a fault. but this idealism ensures he chases innovation and world-improvement over profit. the world needs that.

ETH is my core pick, absolutely. 99$ of coins dont even get stress tested to a point where its limitations are revealed. ETH handles over 50% of all trans.

know it from myself. was only raised by mum, she is intelligent, but has no collage degree. she could not help me anymore after age of 16. but till this time I was some of the best in class.

At young age I had so many questions about computer, coding and electronic stuff, but nobody could help me. Even I got good at it, with college degree. But if I had parents who could learn me all this stuff, I would be without doubt amazing, cause I wanted learn so much and asked every day so many stuff in very young age.
