Highlight Clip Vitalik Buterin: Ethereum is a Spreadsheet with Macros On March 12, 2021, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated in a Tim Ferriss interview that Ethereum is fundamentally a “general-purpose blockchain.” He explained that while Bitcoin is a static spreadsheet where users only control specific cells, Ethereum is a “spreadsheet with macros” where accounts can execute code and interact autonomously based on pre-programmed rules. He believes the core of building on Ethereum lies in its autonomy; once an application is deployed, it no longer depends on its creator or any individual to maintain it, guaranteeing it runs strictly by its rules without interference. — link
