When the cryptocurrency community discusses adoption, the names of large organizations and prominent executives often come up. Therefore, it is not surprising that crypto enthusiasts are so excitedly discussing the statement of Google CEO Sundar Pichai, who announced that his son has become interested in cryptocurrencies, namely Ethereum (ETH).
Speaking at the New York Times DealBook event, which was also attended by Black Rock CEO Larry Fink, Pichai discussed technology addiction/addiction, as well as parental control apps that can adjust how much time children spend on tablets and smartphones. In response to a question about his personal life, he told the audience that his 11-year-old son had started “dabbling” in cryptocurrencies.
According to Pichai, during one of the family dinners, he and his family were discussing Bitcoin, and his son interrupted him, informing his father - a technological genius - that he was actually talking not about the features of Bitcoin, but about the features of Ethereum. Pichai's son said that he mines Ethereum using only his home computer, and not an ASIC miner.
Interestingly, Pichai is not the only member of Google's senior management whose child got involved in cryptocurrency assets and blockchain technology. According to Ethereum World News, Google co-founder Sergey Brin reported that his 10-year-old son was mining Ether. Speaking on the matter, he said:
A year or two ago, my son talked me into buying him a gaming PC. I told him, okay, but if we buy it, we will mine cryptocurrency on it. So we installed an Ethereum miner on it.
Interestingly, the CEO said he had to explain to his son how the government issues currencies and how “the financial system really works.” Pichai noted that his son understood the concept of Ethereum better than the concept of fiat, which is not surprising given the large-scale transition from paper to digital.
