"Homeless" billionaire: how the creator of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin lives

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of the Ethereum blockchain platform and cryptocurrency of the same name, became the youngest crypto billionaire in the world in 2021 according to FORBES magazine. At that time, the state of the 27-year-old entrepreneur was estimated at $ 1.3 billion.

Buterin is a typical nomad of the 21st century. He does not have his own home as such, and on Twitter his place of residence is listed as "Earth". For the last nine years he has been constantly moving. “Many people say that the nomadic lifestyle is disorienting, and the “permanent base” gives a feeling of comfort. It’s not like that for me at all: I feel disorientated if I change my place more than once a week, but if I stay there longer, I start to feel at home, ”Buterin wrote.

The pandemic has made some adjustments to the entrepreneur’s lifestyle, and he has turned from a “fast nomad” into a “slow nomad”. “I still spend a lot of time in different places, but I prefer to stay there for one or two months rather than two or four days,” Buterin wrote. Of his favorite places, he mentioned Singapore, CANADA, Mexico and Germany. A stay in Singapore allowed him "to be with his thoughts for the first time in a decade". He also believes that there are "great parks" there and in Canada. As for Mexico, Buterin noted the national cuisine and how friendly the people there are.
