Will ETH Hit $10K if Vitalik Wins Nobel Prize?

[Ricardo11]

Vitalik Buterin has been seen as a dark horse for the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economics. Ethereum's co-founder is considered an "unconventional" pick, but his contributions are undeniable.

Economists Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok, creators of Marginal Revolution, recently made their picks for who could win the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economics.

In what he referred to as an "unusual pick," Cowen said that, given the chance, he would choose Ethereum co-founder and computer scientist Vitalik Buterin.

When he and co-host Tabarrok discussed their views on the merits of theoretical economics, both agreed that Buterin deserved the award because "he actually did something in monetary economics."

Per Cowen:

 "Vitalik created a platform, coined a currency, you might say, disproving Mrs. Regression Theorem in the process, obviously following in Satoshi's footsteps, but my goodness, what does one have to do to get a Nobel Prize?"


Economist Tyler Cowen nominated Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin for the Nobel Prize in Economics. American economist and professor Tyler Cowen recently suggested that Vitalik Buterin should receive a Nobel Prize for his significant contributions to financial economics and mechanism design through Ethereum.

So if Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterinok gets a Nobel Prize, could this development push Ethereum to $10,000?

Economist Tyler Cowen nominated Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin for the Nobel Prize in Economics.

That is imo impossible, because in the Nobel Prize nomination process you can see that those who are invited to nominate a candidate cannot reveal the name until 50 years later.

What you probably meant (according to the first part of the post) is that this economist speculated about Vitalik being nominated eventually or that it could be possible that he wins the prize.

I think however if anybody then Nick Szabo deserves the Sveriges Riksbank prize (which is not a traditional Nobel prize), because he introduced the concept of smart contracts in the 90s. And smart contracts on blockchain basis were implemented by several teams in 2013-15.
