I invest I'm ETH because of Vitalik Buterin

I've been an investor in the stock market for many years now, things I've learned through experience is not to invest in a stock or ETF, but to invest in the product or the company itself. That's the thought process behind it.

Vitalik Buterin has an IQ of 257, which makes sense giving how he talks on podcasts. His sheer knowledge and dedication to the tech field, Eth, crypto, and blockchain is immense. When I buy my $50 of Ethereum every Friday, I'm investing in Vitalik. I trust his guidance, his roadmap, and the fact that he's turned down banks on a weekly basis is astonishing. I feel like he's part android, there's videos where he talks for minutes without blinking.

I live in Canada so I use Wealthsimple and being a stock market investor, I don't actually intend to use Ethereum for it's main purpose of storing on a cold wallet or utilizing its ability. I buy my shares of it and I will just hold it as an investment. We can stake Eth now so I will be doing that eventually which I'm excited for because it's basically ethereum paying me dividends.

Regardless, I think long term Ethereum will run computing defi on the planet. Visa is already talking with them!

What are your guys thoughts on Ethereums future? Price prediction? Utility? How the world will perceive it?
