Last Update:
🚀 A lesser-known origin story of Ethereum—where one “No” from the U.S. became a resounding “Yes” in history.
✳️ In 2013, a teenage Vitalik Buterin was invited to collaborate with Coinbase.
But he was denied a U.S. work visa, returned to Canada, and… wrote Ethereum on his laptop.
That moment of rejection led to the birth of the world’s second most valuable crypto.
A “No” from immigration sparked a “Yes” from innovation.
đź§ As Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong recently reflected:
“We lost Ethereum because we couldn’t get him across the border.”
🎉 On July 30, 2025, Ethereum turned 10 years old —
Up 57% in a month, hitting $3,900, with a market cap over $465B.
📌 Ethereum is now the backbone of Layer 2 & 3 Web3 infrastructure.
But it’s beginning?
A closed door that opened an entirely new future.
đź”» At IOTA, we ask:
How many more “No”s must we hear before a generation of “Yes” is born?
Borders don’t block awareness — sometimes they redirect it.
