🚨 Vitalik Responds to Critics: Should Ethereum Prioritize Price or Principles? As ETH continues to face price pressure, criticism toward the Ethereum Foundation has intensified. Some community members argue that the Foundation should hold a much larger share of ETH to better support the ecosystem and strengthen market confidence. Vitalik Buterin disagrees. According to Vitalik, many blockchain foundations hold between 10% and 50% of their native token supply, while the Ethereum Foundation reportedly holds only around 0.16% of total ETH supply. He argues this approach helps preserve Ethereum’s neutrality and decentralization rather than concentrating influence in a single organization. Instead of focusing on short-term price action, Vitalik says Ethereum’s priority remains: 🔹 Long-term sustainability 🔹 Privacy and open-source innovation 🔹 Decentralization and self-sovereignty 🔹 Core protocol development This raises a bigger question for crypto investors: Many projects support token prices through treasury holdings, buybacks, or aggressive token management. Ethereum chooses a different path. 💭 Would you rather invest in a blockchain that actively supports its token price, or one that prioritizes decentralization and long-term development even when the market is unhappy? 👇 Which approach creates more value over the next 10 years? $ETH
