Sold 25% is not no skin in the game. And did Elon ever take some profit along the way? Or what's the point.
So in summary I don't really get the massive difference.
I thought VB didn't have ETH and was sour TBH. That he has whale amounts was the bigger news for me.
Sure, it is possible that Elon is a bit of a hypocrite in terms of how much he is invested in Tesla/SpaceX, and of course, any rich person is going to have to "live along the way." But, I doubt that the point is so much about whether Elon is a good comparison rather than the hypocrisy of some of the leaders within the crypto space. I would not fault any of the leaders within the space to have some diversification or to NOT be fully invested, but I might fault them for other kinds of hypocrisy, self-dealings and secrecy... which also relates to their lack of investment too.
Of course, the little fucktwat dweeb (aka Vitalik) has ETH, and that is one of the (many) problems with ETH, it remains quite difficult to determine who has what coins out of both the pre-mine and various subsequent shenanigans in which they choose to print additional coins.
Of course, a problem with Charlie Lee, too. He acts like such a nice guy, and he surely can be a likeable guy, but really is there genuineness when a BIG stake holder does NOT keep some stake in the coin that he created, rather than selling a shitload of coin and rationalizing that it was for the good of the community that he should attempt to remain "more objective" by selling (supposedly) all of his LTC stash.
I suppose that if Satoshi were around, we could criticize him too, but at some point, it seems that Satoshi may have left a lot of coins on the table, and were those coins burned for the good of the system?
Mystery, mystery regarding if those early coins that were presumably mined by Satoshi will ever move and if the bitcoin system could absorb all of the coins, if they were to be moved and sold on the market. Seems that they would not be dumped, if they were to be moved, but who knows? Ongoing presumption is that those early coins that were presumably mined by satoshi are not moving and ongoing presumption remains that we are likely to never know who satoshi was (is), while satoshi (or parts of him) might still be alive. We might not even know, once satoshi is dead, if troubles could come from knowing that. None of us should believe that satoshi was not a real person. Surely not a bot or an alien...
