Dmitry Buterin
Bio
"The man who raised Ethereum’s genius inventor has myriad interests, which span from spirituality to software, aging, parenting, and of course Putin. He has strong views on all of it, though his Twitter persona—he has 13,000 followers—tends to come off as warm and fuzzy and light-hearted, even when he gently spars with Twitter troll Udi Wertheimer, a notorious Ethereum skeptic. The social media version differs from the man in person (on Zoom) who projects a steelier, more guarded core. Buterin was born in 1972 in the Chechen capital of Grozny, in Russia’s wild, southern reaches. Three years after his son was born, Buterin senior co-founded his first business, a financial software reseller, and consultancy, and has been a serial entrepreneur ever since. He’s the founder of three multi-million dollar businesses, including management software startup Wild Apricot, which was sold to US software giant Personify in 2017. "
