I don't know what to say. i wish i have invested ETH from the start and then wait...and wait.
With such amount and the profit he'd get after more pumps, he could get away lawsuits for the crimes he will later commit. get away from IRS and mexico  ;D

550k of an ever-inflating currency is nothing. Right now there are about 5 times more ETH than there are BTC, and every year 20 more million are and will be created, ad vitam aeternam. Right now, 550k is 1/141 of the total ETH supply. Next year it will be 1/178, and so on and so forth.

Satoshi is rumored to hold more bitcoins, btw (about 1/21 of the total supply), and while there is a limited BTC supply, the ETH supply is unlimited.
Vitalik holds nothing. Right now his stack is worth $8,250,000 which is nothing. Even if ETH was worth $50 it would still be only $27,500,000. His dad has more than that in his bank account. That's nothing, especially for the man.

I think Vitalik is targetting the Chinese market to sell his stash to become rich. Vitalik knows he has no way to take profit without crashing the market. He is trying to promote ETH to the Chinese market, from there ETH value will increase and he can sell parts of his stash.

From what I've seen on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDGq4aeevgY) Vitalik gives me the impression that he is a human 2.0. His mannerisms are strange and his rather large brain appears to be operating independently of his body to a degree I've never seen before. One might deduce that he appears to be operating at a higher level of awareness, an ethereal state so to speak. The random eye movements give it away. I estimate that he will attempt to download the Chinese language directly into his brain for this venture. If he succeeds and does not enter a vegetative coma then this, my friends, is a buy signal.

How many coins are there in ETH altogether? I mean, what's the percentage of his holding? More than Satoshi's holdings of BTC?
