Vitalik published a blog post "The end of my childhood" to summarize his past life experiences.
Vitalik said that his early work and life experiences (2013 to 2017) made him realize: "I myself have a responsibility to the world. I need to be conscious about the way I do things. Let yourself go in life and let yourself just be Being part of someone else's plan is not a safe, blameless way to do things. I was one of the mysterious others, and it was up to me to fulfill that role. If I didn't, the cryptocurrency space would either stagnate or stagnate , or being led by opportunistic money chasers, I have only myself to blame. Therefore, I decided to choose carefully when participating in other people's plans and be more proactive in developing my own plans."
Furthermore, Vitalik summarizes the lessons he learned: 1. Greed is not the only form of selfishness. Cowardice, laziness, resentment, etc. can also cause harm. 2. People can have preferences, but there is no need for complicated scientific explanations as to why your preferences are truly and absolutely good. 3. Pay attention to the importance of habits.
