Chinese Vitalik

In China, Vitalik Buterin is known as V 神-the V God. Like most nicknames, this one, for Ethereum's co-founder, is meant to be somewhat amusing. But, again, like most nicknames, the name conveys the reverence many show the 27-year-old. China has a huge and vital community of Ethereum developers and investors. But beneath that, people there take some pride in the fact that the Chinese crypto community rallied behind the platform, and its boy godhead, in its earliest days when it was most needed.
