"Buterin met Amir Chetrit, a US-Israeli national, at a Bitcoin business conference in Amsterdam in September 2013. The latter had dropped out of his computer science degree and then dabbled in real estate in the years prior to 2008, when—like nearly all the other founders—he began to doubt the traditional finance system.
He got into Bitcoin, and, at the time he met Buterin, was working with Israeli startup Colored Coins, a project to manage real-world assets as tokens on top of the Bitcoin network. Buterin also worked on the project before he came up with Ethereum; in December 2013, he asked Chetrit to join him.
At the co-founders’ meeting in June 2014, Chetrit came under fire from Ethereum developers and other co-founders for his lack of input on Ethereum, and agreed to step down, while remaining a cofounder.
He quietly supports various different blockchain projects, but is very low-profile, and doesn’t like publicity, said Russo."
