In an unexpected yet touching moment, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin left a comment on a photo posted by popular singer JJ Lin on September 23, 2024. The photo, featuring both of them, prompted Vitalik to respond with a poetic message: “I believe that one day of love is worth eternity. Time is frozen at this moment.”
What might seem like a philosophical reflection was actually a quote from JJ Lin’s song “Jiangnan,” included in his 2004 album “Second Heaven.” The song’s lyrics express a deep, emotional sentiment, and Vitalik’s use of them hints at a shared bond with the artist and an appreciation for Lin’s work.
