Title: ### Vitalik Buterin now officially Altcoin to FIAT MILLIONAiRE! ###
Post by: prettybuds on April 24, 2016, 03:36:37 PM
Seems like Vitalik cashed out 25% of his ether. This amounts to approximately 1'000'000$ at current market price.

It seems quite safe to say that we can congratulate Vitalik! He's now in the club of fiat millionaires!

Where you see that he cash out such amount of ether?

In the last days I see all of major site that start to accept eth... maybe it's really a new coin "safe" and not only a classic scam crypto...

He openly admitted it via Twitter just so you know.

It's not a sign of "weakness" or scam to diversify one's assets. Even if you are the lead developer of a certain project, selling a portion of it for further planning and developing expenses (not to mention self profit) is not bad. It only gets bad based on how the community will react to that.

Seems a stock option payment... he make a good work for this coin (now is every where accept and has gain a lot of space in crypto world).

the fact that he admitted public is really nice in my personal opinion ... (sorry but I don't use Twitter :D )

Or a fully-paid-for, cash-on-the-barrelhead house. :)

Back in the old days of the penny-stock market, that's what promoters & heavyweights did with the proceeds from their first big score. Back in that day, Vancouver's property taxes were low so (if worst came to worst) you could keep the house to live if you wound up (back) in a hole and had to take a straight job.

Eth is experimental, just like bitcoin still is. what's your point?

Anybody trying to spin this as anything but pump and dump action is delusional.

I'd suspect he already HAD diversified investments.  This ain't nothing but a cash grab.

When the guy who knows more than anything collects the million dollar check (while not shelling out for a forum) and tells you what he just told you, you really ought to recognize this shitcoin for what it is a run for the hills.

As he began converting ETH to fiat, this means he does not believe in ETH project. So why investors would have faith in this premined coin?

Post by: cryptohunter on April 24, 2016, 10:41:46 PM
all premining devs should have their wallet addresses public so you can see when they are dumping and how much they are dumping.

It's a bit of a slap in the face to the ethereum community after shutting their forums down because 300 bucks a month is too expensive.

At the moment, they don't really have any competition or at least any that markets their services very well.

Potentially another manipulated market such as the argument about Mt.Gox bubble upthread. We could be witnessing a cashing out from recent altcoin bubbles while buying from himself to create the illusion of a rising price while doing so as they ostensibly did for the ETH bubble, e.g. Vitalik using Coinbase to cash out from ETH -> BTC -> USD.

Free markets = decentralized markets.

When you have whales and most volume going through 1 or 2 exchanges, you don't have decentralized markets.

You need to read the Ethereum Paradox (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1361602.0) and "The altcoin topic everyone wants to sweep under the rug (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1218399.0)" threads to understand I am not a random stranger. Didn't you know I am alleged to be Satoshi (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1438301.0)?

when Vitalik Buterin cashes out by selling as much as he can (it is a bout a million dollars for gods sake) then what would you expect from the project and those who have invested in it! especially now that the Ethereum price has been going down only with no more demand as much as it was at first.

exactly this, and try to bring a little bit more of confidence to investors, all coins should do that for sure.


It's a bit of a slap in the face to the ethereum community after shutting their forums down because 300 bucks a month is too expensive.

and this made people being scared, (  me included ) how is possible that things like that happend? with eth? after all the money they get?, something is really wrong here...

So far the market agrees that this was a cash grab pump and dump.

Ugly out there for dETH bagholders.

(Note: used to be mETH, as it appeared to be an unhealthy addiction.  Now dETH for obvious reasons.)

at the time it seemed clear to moi that the pump was orchestrated out of Zug. cashing out was the name of their game. why the surprise? it's always about the money.

You're drunk on the Ethereum Paradox (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1361602.0) Koolaid.

Do you know what a drunk looks like to the sober observers.

He just wanted to play and proof that he's not Satoshi himself.

Wonder what the SEC will say or the well informed buyers that should be protected from such an ethical inside trade...
