Guys you gotta relax lol, ethereum was the brain child of vitalik, it sort of developed when he was working on the colored coin project. The goal of ethereum is to take us to crypto currency 2.0 an work with btc. Ethereum took a major leap this past December at the Las Vegas show, I went down there with Steve dakh and his partner in kryptokit, me him am vitalik started hanging out we went to the suana and just started discussing ethereum. Tony went back to Toronto with Vitalik and the rest is history, they built a team, but this is vitalik dream and vision. On the plane home all we did was discuss economics and ethereum. Yes I worked on Wall Street and yes I am a finance freak. BUT GET THIS STRAIGT! I will be voting for RAND PAUL 2016, I'm an Austrian economist hardcore libertarian free market loving waiting for the rise of the common sense republic. There is no conspiracy, we are going to change the world.
