9 years ago, Vitalik Buterin presented his Ethereum smart contract platform to the world. He officially announced his invention on BitcoinTalk Forum with a post titled "Welcome to the New Beginning!"
It’s not an anniversary date, so let’s do without flowers and applause.
But one thing that we would like to mention is that everyone who made their first steps at that time became most powerful people in crypto.
With its roots in the Ethereum team, crypto mafia has spread across the world:
- Charles Hoskinson launched Cardano in 2017.
- Anthony Di Iorio launched Decentral Inc. and the Jaxx wallet
- Joseph Lubin launched ConsenSys
- Gavin Wood created Polkadot and developed the Solidity smart contract language.
Our congratulations on these achievements, Vitalik! 
Ethereum supporters are looking forward to the upcoming crypto spring. Another network update, dubbed Shanghai Fork, is scheduled for March. Shanghai Fork will allow users to access the funds locked into the Ethereum Beacon Chain. Depositors will be able to participate in validating transactions and earn newly-created Ethereum.
J.P. Morgan believes Shanghai Fork will be a pleasant surprise for Coinbase as well. It estimates that up to 95% of retail investors of this crypto exchange will be able to participate in Ethereum staking after the update. The matter is that Coinbase may get additional revenue of about $225-$545 million per year. 
Robinhood released the beta version of Robinhood Wallet in September to 10,000 users who joined the waitlist. The wallet is now available to 1 million waitlisted customers.
Robinhood Wallet is more than just a wallet. It's a full-fledged app allowing to trade tokens and view NFTs.
It provides access to additional Web3 features like connecting to dApps and NFT marketplaces on Ethereum and Polygon. 
Avalanche fans have reason to rejoice.
The amount of bitcoins locked on the Avalanche network recently surpassed that of the Lightning Network.
Snowtrace.io reports that Avalanche currently has almost 5,500 BTC, compared to less than 5,250 on the Lightning Network.
However, they are all still a long way from Ethereum, as the number of wrapped bitcoins in this network is close to 180 thousand coins. 
Vitalik Buterin: perfect nerd
Long ago, Vitalik Buterin established himself as a crypto legend. He is the only person who challenges the idea that there are only three ways to become a billionaire in the cryptocurrency market: if you are already a millionaire, if you come from a family of millionaires, or if you are friends with Alibaba's founder.
