I am a new member so I would be more interested to know what year Bitcoin and Ethereum were founded and who founded them.

Welcome!
Perhaps the best section to post these basic questions about BTC is here: https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=59.0
But I understand that in the beginning it's hard to get to know the sub forums and know where to post hehehe
The creator of Ethereum is one of the most well-known figures in the crypto world, he is Vitalik Buterin and one of the most influential developers active in the community
Ethereum was launched in 2015
There's a nice content here about who Vitalik is: https://cointelegraph.com/learn/who-is-vitalik-buterin

Those questions are easily searchable on the internet or in the forum.
BTC:
Founded: 2008
Founder: Satoshi Nakamoto (a pseudonymous person or group)
https://cointelegraph.com/learn/the-history-of-bitcoin-when-did-bitcoin-start
Ethereum:
Founded: 2013 (conceptualized), launched in 2015
Founders: Vitalik Buterin, Gavin Wood, Charles Hoskinson, Anthony Di Iorio, and Joseph Lubin

these two despite being the top cryptocurrencies as of the moment, bitcoin and ethereum have different founders and were launched in different times
bitcoin was developed by satoshi nakamoto (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bitcoin.asp) and was launched on 2009 it was the first cryptocurrency to be ever made and was soon followed by ethereum which went live year 2015 it was proposed by vitalik buterin (https://cointelegraph.com/learn/history-of-ethereum-blockchain)and unlike satoshi, buterin is known and not anonymous

I consider Ethereum to be the heir apparent to Bitcoin and that means that should anything happened to Bitcoin then we can expect Ethereum to fill the space now occupied by BTC as the KING. While Bitcoin has Satoshi Nakamoto, Ethereum has Vitalik Buterin, a young, genius and very visible head of the said crypto platform. And I am sure that for the next decades or so, these two - BTC and ETH - will dominate the field of cryptocurrency though there will always be ups and downs along the way. I admire both men and their stories...and the fact that Vitalik continued to be thin and slim despite his riches to the tunes of millions of dollars...if not billions in real life. And right now am wondering if Satoshi is still alive and if there can be a chance these two great personalities will meet one day.

One interesting curiosity about Vitalik is that he is a former Bitcoin Core developer and also one of the founders of bitcoin magazine (one of the oldest and best blogs about bitcoin)

One curiosity is that Vitalik's fortune varies greatly according to the price of cryptos, especially of course the price of ETH, since his personal wallet contains a lot of ETH (this information is public, don't worry)
In 2022 in the bull market, his networth was more than 1b of USD, but now it has decreased a lot

I admire Vitalik a lot, even though ETH has had some controversies like the ETC fork and some freezes (among other things), before I even knew cryptos he was already involved with BTC first and then never stopped, so much so that ETH doesn't lose its position as the first altcoin to any other project and is still relevant today, having gone through several cycles
This shows the knowledge and relevance he has achieved with ETH

Welcome to this forum, you can definitely learn better about bitcoin, eth, and whole cryptocurrencies from here. You have already been provided with many links, which are very useful for you, if you read them carefully, then you will know everything about btc and Vitalik Buterin's eth.

These are the periphery of cryptocurrency and you can get those information online and if you want to know those information and the best way to get the needed information is to type "who is the founder of Bitcoin and Ethereum in bitcointalk.org and the way for altcointalk like who is the founder of Bitcoin and Ethereum in altcoinstalks.com and the threads people or users have created would appear and you click anyone that carry the most needed information.

OP, there are some things that you need to learn on your own because we have Google to give your any information that you want and not asking such question in the forum because you will not learn fast when you are depending to ask everything you want to know here. I hope you will not start asking about how much is bitcoin and Etherum.

It surprised me to see how you chose to abandon your account for so long since 2020, only to appear recentlyto address yourself as new to the forum, asking a common question Google would have provide answers for.
My area of concern is what has happened over the years you learned about this forum in 2020, couldn't you learn about the founder of Bitcoin and Ethereum and the year of their creation since then till now, you couldn't find answers to Bitcoin and Ethereum accept this time around when you wake up on a sudden to find interest to know about them. Isn't it somehow
