Both of these guys are college dropouts. One built a social network. The other built Ethereum. 2 billionaires. 1 identical formula for spotting opportunities. This is how these 2 visionaries use this to shape the future of the world: Zuckerberg’s journey began in a Harvard dorm in 2004. He saw a chance to digitize social connections. But that was just the beginning.. Thus, "The Facebook "was born. Revolutionizing online interaction. From photo sharing to messaging, Facebook became the digital town square. Meanwhile, Buterin was captivated by Bitcoin's potential. But he saw beyond digital currency. What if blockchain could do more? This thought sparked a revolution... Their formula for success? Spot a gap, move fast, and iterate relentlessly. Zuckerberg's mantra "Move fast and break things" became Silicon Valley gospel. Buterin's approach? "I'm not afraid of hard problems. I'm afraid of easy problems." Both men have pivoted their visions as technology evolved.

Nice success story but we shouldn’t overlook the privilege and resources they had; not everyone can replicate that success, and their paths involved significant risks and failures. I know this because I talk alot to the people in service industry.

Buterin seems like a Russian puppet to me, does he own the etherium foundation really or is he just a figure head?
