CRYPTO BILLIONAIRE ‘BURNED’ OVER 410 TRILLION SHIBA TOKENS

The young man explained this step by his desire not to influence the price of the cryptocurrency and asked not to make such gifts to him in the future.

Earlier, the creators of Shiba decided to transfer half of their cryptocurrency to Buterin in order to attract attention to the product.

We can say that the goal was achieved, but the currency itself suffered. Buterin moved the coins into a dead wallet, destroying them. In the accompanying note, the billionaire suggested sending cryptocurrency to charitable organizations next time, having discussed this possibility with them in advance.

He himself has followed this advice several times, donating funds to fight COVID-19 in India. The country is now experiencing the largest coronavirus epidemic.

27-year-old programmer Vitalik Buterin is currently the youngest crypto billionaire.

He was born in Russia, but at the age of 6 he moved to Canada with his family. Buterin is a co-founder of the Ethereum project, the creation of which brought him the World Technology Award in 2014, after he had surpassed Mark Zuckerberg in the nomination.
