Looks like we've hit the bear market bottom . One bankrupt company after another... Today, Storj, the storage project founded in 2014 by a prodigy once considered on par with Vitalik, announced its bankruptcy. Its token price has dropped 99% from its peak, nearly hitting zero—a real 'fallen genius' story in the crypto world. Shawn, the founder of Storj, and Vitalik were similar in age and experience, both launching their own projects in 2014. Back then, CZ had just joined OKX and sold his house to go all-in on $BTC. He even praised these two young newcomers enthusiastically. Funny enough, CZ made a typo and wrote 'Etherium' instead of 'Ethereum,' which is a quirky piece of history. At the time, Ethereum was still new and not well-known, so many people misspelled it. If you search for this typo on Twitter, you'll even find that Elon Musk made the same mistake.
As for what happened next, we all know the story. These two prodigies took completely different paths—one went on to create the second most important blockchain project after $BTC, while the other faded into obscurity, with its token price hitting zero and the company going bankrupt.
