Vitalik: Never Sold Ether for Personal Profit Purposes Since 2018

Ansem, a well-known trader, said on the X platform that Vitalik created the second most important project in crypto history and has a reason to take his own profits. In response, Ether co-founder Vitalik Buterin replied that it has never sold and kept the proceeds since 2018. All sales have gone to support various projects that it deems valuable, whether within the Ether ecosystem or other more charitable organization areas (e.g., biomedical research and development).
