Vitalik Buterin, creator of Ethereum, has been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Economics by Tyler Cowen for his contributions to the monetary system.

Major technological milestones

Tyler Cowen highlighted Buterin's significance by comparing him to Satoshi Nakamoto, stating that Buterin has gone beyond Bitcoin's creator in advancing economic theory and technology. The shift from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake in Ethereum was a technical achievement comparable to changing tires on a moving car.

Buterin’s philanthropic activities

Buterin is known for his philanthropic work. Recently, he sold 10 billion MOODENG tokens and donated a significant portion, totaling 260 ETH, to combat airborne diseases via the charity Kanro. This caused the token to surge by 480% within a day.
