Ashton Kutcher recently posted a video on Twitter containing an in-depth explanation of Ethereum from the horse’s mouth. The discussion in the video takes place between Kutcher, his wife Mila Kunis and Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum.
Ashton is a venture capitalist and also an actor. His wife, Mila Kunis, is also an actress, and the couple have been in crypto investing for eight years.
According to a report on her participation, Mila once found that Bitcoin investing was just terrible. But after a few years of using crypto, the actress said she was glad she was wrong.

From what we’ve gathered, the video aims to educate newbies about the Ethereum cryptocurrency. As the video started, we could see Kutcher asking Kunis to explain some of the basics of crypto and the underlying blockchain technology.
Mila Kunis provided a brief definition of blockchain, crypto, and decentralization. After that, Kutcher asked Buterin, who was sitting at the right side of the table, to describe Ethereum. Then the Ethereum founder began to explain crypto in a comprehensive way.

He started from the basic components and mentioned the differences between the smart contract protocol and other single-purpose chains. Buterin even used Bitcoin to illustrate his points.
Vitalik Buterin explains Ethereum
According to Buterin, Ethereum is a multipurpose blockchain that allows developers to easily build different applications. The log is backed up and protected by thousands of computers around the world. This means that every project based on its platform is also secured.
Because of the protocol’s support for programming languages, developers can create whatever they want from the platform. This means that projects such as NFTs or cryptocurrencies can be based on Ethereum without any problems. According to his explanation, the actor could only respond with a “that makes sense” statement.

The hashtags and links to the video show that the goal is to promote a range of NFTs called “Stoner Cats”. For example, anyone who buys the NFT will get access to the Kunis animation series, which has the same name as the token.
According to our source, the series is labeled “The First NFT Animated Series” and people with access will be able to stream it.
Regarding the actor’s participation in NFTs, we found that he digitized and burned a work of art that many thoughts were terrible about. That was last August, and his explanation was to support environmental charities.
Aside from the artwork, Kutcher’s A-grade investment firm had backed a few crypto firms, BitPay and BitGo, in 2013 and 2014.
