Vitalik Walks Alone

A story about Ben Wilson's brief encounter with Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin walking alone in Amsterdam.

"I was in Amsterdam and I saw him walking right past me. I couldn't think what to say, and he's walking right past me and I just turned and went 'You're Vitalik.' He didn't look or say anything, he just kept walking but it was him. He was walking all alone on the streets of Amsterdam at 8 AM in the morning. It was just us."

This prompted concern from Sam and Shaan about Vitalik's security, with Shaan saying "We need to protect this man. He never has security with him and he just wanders around to random cafes and goes to events. I really hope he's got such good security that you just can't see them."
