If Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin ever aspired to be the face of the cryptocurrency space, he doesn’t want be that anymore.

Buterin published a blog post Wednesday in which he meditated on the “end of his childhood” as a young pioneer in crypto, marking a transition in the industry. Buterin also mapped out his vision for the future growth of Ethereum and decentralization.

Buterin founded Ethereum in 2013 at the age of 19, quickly becoming a leading voice in the booming crypto industry. Now approaching 30, he writes, “if that was ever my role, it is no longer.” Buterin sees new, even younger innovators taking leading roles across crypto and related technologies like synthetic biology.

“I am now in some different kind of role, and it is time for the next generation to take up the mantle that used to be mine,” Buterin reflected.

“One of my most striking memories from my last two years was speaking at hackathons, visiting hacker houses, and doing Zuzalu in Montenegro, and seeing people a full decade younger than myself taking on leading roles, as organizers or as developers, in all kinds of projects,” he wrote.
