CZ Recalls the 2014 Chicago Conference: 19-Year-Old Vitalik Brought Up Ethereum to Anyone He Met
Binance founder CZ reviewed the history of the digital asset industry during a live broadcast at the DC Blockchain Summit 2026 on March 18. CZ summarized that the crypto industry has gone through a journey of being "ignored for the first 5 years, fought against for the next 5 years, and now finally accepted."
He reflected that industry conferences in 2014 only had about 200 attendees, noting that a 19-year-old Vitalik was talking about Ethereum to everyone back then—which is now an asset worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
