Title: Is it possible to trace Vitalik Buterin's (or any address) trades on exchanges?
Post by: CryptoAlphaStar on December 28, 2017, 12:37:47 AM
Hi guys,
1.The addresses of the big guys like Vitalik, Roder and Satoshi are publicly known. Vitalik sent 30,000 ETH recently to an exchange. So we saw that. Can we also see what he bought there - another crypto or fiat or once he makes a trade all the traces are lost and we will have no idea where his money went?

2.Let's say he sells ETH and buys another ERC20 token. If he withdraws to a new ETH address, can we trace the transaction or no?

Anyone knows? I guess it is not that tough a question. Especially with so many investors in privacy coins.

I am not too sure about this but this is how I guess you can find some of the info if you know the ETH address.

Go to https://etherscan.io

Search with the address then you will be able to see all transactions including any tokens associate with the address.


I hope it helps

Just wondering why would you need to trace  Vitalik by the way  :o

1 No you can't see what he has bought,what he has sold on an exchange or where the money went to in the end
2 No you can't trace this either.

1 Where do you see it? But if the money goes to the exchange site and then it just like a mixer. because in the exchange site all of the funds will be mixed into a big amount. it will not traceable.
2 you can't because that means the ethereum move to another people and then it's still on the exchange site. Remember that's centralized exchange site and all of the funds mixed into a single form. And if he withdraws into the new address and then you can't do anything with it.

Why would I want to know Vitalik's holdings? Jeez, isn't it obvious? If this guy is investing in something, I am too.
Thank you for the answers. I think the topic is clarified now.

You made my day, my friend. but it looks vitalik not publicly anything about that. The only important thing that I was knowing about the portfolio of the vitalik gains a lot of shares from the project that advised by vitalik just like kyber and omisego was obviously true. Not sure about the wetrust project.
