Will “Ethereum: The Infinite Garden” Turn Vitalik Into A Worldwide Celebrity?
Last Updated on 18 July 2021 by CryptoTips.eu
Hollywood has discovered crypto. Featured films are in the works about the OneCoin scandal, about the Gemini founders (aka the Winklevoss twins) and about the mystery surrounding Satoshi Nakamoto. As such, documentary makers cannot stay all too far behind, and it will therefore be interesting to see how much of a low profile Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, will be able to keep when Ethereum: The Infinite Garden is released on the public (although plans are to only do so in 2023).
excited to share my latest work, one of the first movie posters as an NFT- for none other than the first feature-length, crowdfunded (@viamirror) documentary on Ethereum. @EthereumFilm

Film production company Optimist is responsible for the documentary, and were introduced to the topic of Ethereum and its charismatic founder by Morgan Beller, co-creator of Libra.
He stated:
Iāve always thought Buterin deserved to have his story out there. The whole Ethereum team is just so pure, authentic, kind and wonderful.
High priest
He added:
If youāre first learning about Ethereum and youāre not a crypto person, you donāt necessarily see that side. But I always thought that if the world were able to somehow see and understand where this is all coming from, the heart and thoughts behind it, people would both understand it and be more supportive.
Beller is not wrong. Vitalik has always tried to maintain his cool about his own fame in the world of crypto (even wearing a name badge during the 2021 Miami crypto conference), but when famous interviewer Lex Fridman asked Vitalik last year whether there needed to be a leader for the world of crypto, Vitalik answered:
Thereās different kinds of leaders, thereās dictators who control all the money, thereās people who control organisations, thereās high priests that just have themselves and their Twitter followers. In these days, Iām a bit more in the high priest direction than before.
