In the latest crypto news, we have the son of the CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, who is apparently an Ethereum (ETH) miner. The CEO of Google appears to have a lot more in common with the co-founder Sergey Brin – as both tech billionaires have crypto-savvy young sons who mine ethereum.
As Pichai revealed, his 11-year old son mines Ethereum on a home computer that Pichai built himself, as Business Insider earlier reported. He said this during the New York Times DealBook conference this week while ironically discussing tech addiction and the importance of limiting screen time for children.
As Pichai noted:
“Last week I was at dinner with my son, and I was talking about something about bitcoin and my son clarified what I was talking about was ethereum, which is slightly different. He’s 11 years old, and he told me he’s mining it.”
Still, Pichai has said no to his son when he asked if he built a server to help with his son’s crypto mining efforts. Instead, he said:
“I had [to] explain to him how paper money actually works,” Pichai laughed. “I realized he understood ethereum better than how paper money works. I had to talk to him about the banking system, the importance of it. It was a good conversation.”
In July 2018, the co-founder of Google, Sergey Brin, also revealed that he mines Ethereum with his son, as reported by our crypto news site.
