以太坊區塊鏈的原始創建者Vitalik Buterin是加密貨幣行業中最知名的人物之一。

今年的Coindesk共識2025在多倫多舉行，強調了加拿大充滿活力的加密社區。

The documentary "Vitalik: An Ethereum Story" offers a unique glimpse into the life and mind of Vitalik Buterin, the renowned co-creator of Ethereum. This film, directed by Chris Temple and Zach Ingrasci, takes viewers on a journey through Buterin's early years in Russia, his family's immigration to Toronto, Canada, and his formative high school experiences where his passion for computers and technology ignited.

紀錄片“ Vitalik：一個以太坊的故事”為以太坊著名共同創造者Vitalik Buterin的生活和思想提供了獨特的瞥見。這部電影由克里斯·坦普爾（Chris Temple）和扎克·英格拉西（Zach Ingrasci）執導，帶領觀眾踏上了俄羅斯（Buterin）早年的旅程，他的家人移民到加拿大多倫多（Toronto），以及他對計算機和技術的熱情被點燃的高中經驗。

As Buterin's story unfolds, the documentary highlights his pivotal role in Toronto's Bitcoin community, where he witnessed firsthand the potential of the asset to provide individuals with financial freedom. This sparked Buterin's interest in exploring how similar concepts could be applied to other domains.

隨著Buterin的故事的展開，紀錄片強調了他在多倫多比特幣社區中的關鍵作用，在那裡他親眼目睹了資產為個人提供財務自由的潛力。這激發了Buterin對探索如何將類似概念應用於其他領域的興趣。

Driven by this curiosity, Buterin embarked on a mission to create the blockchain version of the internet, which culminated in the creation of Ethereum.

在這種好奇心的推動下，布特林開始了一個使命，以創建互聯網的區塊鏈版本，該版本最終導致以太坊的創建。

The film also sheds light on the strong ties Toronto has to Ethereum's early days. It was in this city that some of the first Ethereum developer hackathons and meetups were organized by Ethereum's Canadian co-founders.

這部電影還闡明了多倫多必須與以太坊的初期那樣的牢固聯繫。正是在這個城市，以太坊的加拿大聯合創始人組織了一些以太坊開發商黑客馬拉松和聚會。

This year, CoinDesk's Consensus 2023 will take place in Toronto from May 14-16, showcasing Canada's dynamic crypto community.

今年，Coindesk的2023年共識將於5月14日至16日在多倫多舉行，展示了加拿大充滿活力的加密社區。

Throughout the documentary, viewers will witness various stages of Ethereum's lifetime, including the launch of the network and the challenges Buterin faced in his new leadership role. The film captures the rapid growth of the blockchain during the NFT era and underscores the importance of the Merge in reducing Ethereum's energy consumption.

在整個紀錄片中，觀眾將見證以太坊一生的各個階段，包括網絡的推出以及Buterin在他的新領導角色中面臨的挑戰。這部電影捕獲了NFT時代的區塊鏈的快速增長，並強調了合併在減少以太坊能源消耗方面的重要性。

Moreover, the documentary showcases Buterin's dedication to helping Ukraine in its war with Russia by deploying crypto to provide resources to those in need.

此外，這部紀錄片展示了Buterin致力於通過部署加密貨幣為有需要的人提供資源來幫助烏克蘭與俄羅斯戰爭的奉獻精神。

CoinDesk had the opportunity to sit down with Temple and Ingrasci to discuss their perspectives on creating the film, which is set for global release on April 15.

Coindesk有機會與Temple和I​​ngrasci坐下來討論他們對製作這部電影的看法，該電影定於4月15日全球發行。

為了簡潔和清晰，對這次採訪進行了編輯。

CoinDesk: What drew you to make a documentary about Ethereum and what was the biggest technical aspect of the film that was interesting to cover?

Coindesk：是什麼吸引了您製作有關以太坊的紀錄片？電影中最大的技術方面是什麼？

Zach Ingrasci: So Chris and I have been making documentaries together for 15 years now. We make character driven documentaries, so I really love those human stories that give us insight into the emotions and motivations of people in really interesting places. We aren't crypto experts, but we both studied economics, so we have a bit of understanding of finance. But when we met Vitalik in 2021 I think he immediately clicked something in our brains like: “oh, here’s a story that kind of breaks the stereotypes that mainstream audiences have of this space.” Quickly after meeting Vitalik, we did an NFT crowdfund for the film on mirror.xyz, peoplepleaser did the NFT. We raised basically the full budget of the film, and it allowed us to create this independent story and approach to follow Vitalik around the world, as, he lives out of a 40 liter backpack.

Zach Ingrasci：所以克里斯和我一起製作紀錄片已有15年了。我們製作了角色驅動的紀錄片，所以我真的很喜歡那些人類的故事，這些故事使我們深入了解人們在真正有趣的地方的情感和動機。我們不是加密專家，但我們都研究了經濟學，因此我們對金融有一點了解。但是，當我們在2021年遇到Vitalik時，我認為他立即在我們的大腦中點擊了一些東西：“哦，這是一個打破主流觀眾對這個空間的刻板印象的故事。”在與Vitalik見面後很快，我們在Mirror.xyz上為這部電影做了NFT眾籌，Peolespleaser做了NFT。我們基本上提出了這部電影的全部預算，它使我們能夠創建這個獨立的故事，並在世界各地都關注Vitalik，因為他生活在40升背包中。

CoinDesk: The film walks through various stages of Ethereum’s history, and it’s clear that a lot of care went into selecting which moments in Ethereum’s lifetime to include in Vitalik’s story. One noticeable moment I thought was interesting that you left out was not to include the 2016 DAO hack. Why exclude that key moment in Ethereum’s history but leave in other moments?

Coindesk：這部電影漫步在以太坊歷史的各個階段，很明顯，許多小心都在選擇以太坊一生中哪些時刻包括在Vitalik的故事中。我認為您遺漏的一個值得注意的時刻是不包括2016年Dao Hack。為什麼在以太坊的歷史中排除了這一關鍵時刻，而是在其他時刻離開？

ZI: This is the challenge of making these films. We had a very broad mandate, following the community, not just focused on Vitalik. And then after two years of filming, we realized that the kind of narrative structure would only make sense if you were able to follow one person and then get to meet the community through his eyes. The DAO hack is very confusing to explain, and so there’s an element of just what at its essence is important. And I think, you know, the moment for Vitalik to decide whether the Ethereum Foundation would be nonprofit versus for profit is a very understandable concept for a mainstream audience. They get it.

Zi：這是製作這些電影的挑戰。遵循社區，我們的任務非常廣泛，而不僅僅是關注Vitalik。然後，經過兩年的拍攝，我們意識到，這種敘事結構只有在您能夠跟隨一個人然後通過他的眼睛與社區見面時，這種敘事結構才有意義。 DAO HACK非常令人困惑，因此有一個本質上重要的元素。而且，我認為，維塔利克（Vitalik）決定以太坊基金會是否非營利而不是獲利的時刻對於主流受眾來說是一個非常可以理解的概念。他們明白了。

CoinDesk: And at the premiere a few months ago, it was only accessible to people on-chain. So if the movie is aimed for a mainstream audience, why first decide to release it on-chain, instead of a streaming platform where more of those folks can access it?

Coindesk：幾個月前的首映式，只有鏈接的人才能使用它。因此，如果這部電影針對主流觀眾，為什麼首先決定在鏈上發布它，而不是流媒體平台，其中更多的人可以訪問它？

ZI: I think it’s a practical answer. The documentary industry is broken, so to have an independent film premiere on a mainstream platform doesn't even mean anything, unless you have real marketing. And so actually, the on-chain release, the NFT, the trailer release on Zora, building sponsorship for this mainstream release is critical. People love the film, and have rallied behind it and been interested and been sharing it with their moms, being like: "Hey, this is what I do for a living." This isn't just our film, this film belongs to the community. And I think empowering people with it at that first step, and using the

ZI：我認為這是一個實用的答案。紀錄片行業被打破了，因此在主流平台上進行獨立的電影首映，除非您有真正的營銷，否則任何事情都沒有任何意義。因此，實際上，鏈上釋放，NFT，Zora上的預告片，為此主流版本建立贊助是至關重要的。人們喜歡這部電影，並在影片背後集會，一直與他們的媽媽分享，就像：“嘿，這就是我為生而做的。”這不僅僅是我們的電影，這部電影屬於社區。我認為在第一步中賦予人們權力，並使用
