In the bustling city-state of Singapore, the lifestyle of a young man has garnered widespread attention. He is not an ordinary person, but the founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin. Despite having a net worth of billions of dollars, Vitalik has chosen an unexpectedly modest way of life.



In Singapore, Vitalik's daily life is no different from that of an ordinary person. He lives in a regular HDB flat, wears simple T-shirts and slippers, and often takes public transport. This lifestyle contrasts sharply with his identity, sparking curiosity and discussion among people.

Recently, when the price of Ethereum approached its historical high of 4800 dollars, Vitalik once again became the focus of public attention. However, what people are concerned about is not his immense wealth, but a small detail in his daily life — he has a habit of hand washing his clothes.

This detail comes from an online discussion. Someone discovered that the founder of a certain blockchain project stays in a luxury hotel costing $30,000 per night, while Vitalik was discussing whether the $4 laundry service at the hotel is worth it. He believes the service is not worth it and stated that he always does his laundry himself.

Vitalik's frugality is not only reflected in his daily life but may also have a positive impact on the development of Ethereum. In addition to the continuous upgrades in performance, significant institutional investments, and the flourishing development of Layer2 applications, the founder's low-profile style may also be one of the factors contributing to Ethereum's return to its historical high.

Vitalik's lifestyle reflects his attitude towards consumption. Despite having immense wealth, he does not seem to be enthusiastic about luxury goods or high spending. This simple lifestyle forms an interesting contrast with his innovative spirit and gives people a deeper understanding of this young tech genius.

In the morning light of Singapore, Vitalik may be standing by the window of his ordinary apartment, contemplating the next world-changing idea. His story tells us that true wealth is not only reflected in material possessions but also in inner abundance and passion for one's work.
