On July 30, 2015, the first ether block was created on the Ethereum blockchain, which confirmed the first transactions in this innovative system. The reward for the first block of transactions was then 5 ethers, and it is worth mentioning that all transactions were performed without a graphical user interface and were confirmed by developers who were already engaged in the development of the Ethereum blockchain.

This historic day marked a crucial moment in the world of "altcoins". The idea of the Ethereum blockchain and the basic cryptocurrency ether opened the way to a new way of confirming transactions, by moving from the current "proof-of-work" system to a more economical, faster and simpler "proof-of-stake".

On this day, we remember the visionary achievement of Vitalik Buterin, whose work and influence on the crypto community played a key role in the development and expansion of the Ethereum blockchain.

Well done to Vitalik Buterin, what he did with Etherium was a great achievement. Like with Bitcoin, I still wish I had gotten in at the start

Me to. I remember when you could claimed one bitcoin just solving captcha!

I think that is a great day for the people that value crypto currency in their lives. I wish them all the best in the process.

One whole bitcoin you mean? The dots always connect looking backward. That is why we always try to be optimistic.

I wish I understand faucets in 2010. Few clicks and I would millionare today.

This was really significant. I recall that sometime around early 2021, forecast was coming out of a big rise in Ether.
It did not happen.
Instead, Ether dropped a bit for some time.
However, Ether has shown rise in the last few months.
Also, a fork named Ethereum Classic was branched out a couple of months ago.
I would try to check what was the reason behind that split.

Few months ago? More like much longer. It was lauchend in 2015.

July 30, 2015 was the first day of Ethereum. The first ether block was created and paid a fee of five ether. Developers confirmed all transactions without using color screens. This was the beginning of a major change in the world. Ethereum introduced a new way to verify transactions called proof of stake. This system is faster, more economical and simpler.

We praise Vitalik Buterin for his great vision. His work changed the digital currency community forever. Patience is the key. This event reminds us that all great innovations have small beginnings. All the people who joined Ethereum started with just faith and a dream.
