V God revealed that BTCHoldings is less than 10%, and the rest is all in ETH! The community sighed: 90% of the heavy holdings were in ETH back then, and now BTC has become the largest Position...

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently revealed his personal cryptocurrency holdings, stating that BTC accounts for less than 10% of his portfolio, with the majority being in ETH. However, many in the community expressed nostalgia, as a few years ago, BTC holdings accounted for less than 10%, with the rest heavily positioned in Ethereum, but now BTC holdings have risen to 70%. (Background: Vitalik’s long article: How will Ethereum L1 and L2 develop? First expand Blob space, and then distribute L2 to the Mainnet…) (Background information: Betting on Ethereum, embracing Solana! Multicoin founder: SOL is the winner of capital market blockchain). When Vitalik Buterin first entered the cryptocurrency world, he fully immersed himself in the BTC community and co-founded Bitcoin Magazine. However, he now reveals that he holds almost no BTC, with the vast majority of his personal assets in ETH. Vitalik’s BTC holdings are less than 10%. A user recently suggested that at least 10% of a cryptocurrency investor’s portfolio should be allocated to BTC, ideally around 70%, stating, ‘If you don’t even have 10% allocated, then I really can’t help you.’ However, Vitalik Buterin responded, ‘My BTC holding is less than 10%, but then again, my holdings in all non-ETH assets are also less than 10%. I’m under 10% in BTC. But then again I’m under 10% in anything that’s not ETH.’ - vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) January 31, 2025. However, the Ethereum community has mixed feelings about these statements, as Ethereum’s price performance has lagged far behind BTC in recent years. One user lamented, ‘A few years ago, my BTC holdings accounted for less than 10%, with the rest being in Ethereum. Now my BTC holdings have risen to 70%, but I haven’t changed my holdings.’ Same - SSIK (@ShittyShitcoins) January 31, 2025. These comments resonate with many users who are disappointed with Ethereum’s recent poor price performance, with some expressing, ‘Me too,’ ‘I can feel the pain of this response,’ ‘It’s both cruel and interesting.’ One user expressed dissatisfaction with Vitalik Buterin, saying, ‘The only way the Ethereum Foundation can provide value to the world in the next 30 years is by letting you hold BTC, not selling/giving away ETH.’ Internal concerns intensify in Ethereum. The Ethereum community has been continuously dissatisfied with Ethereum’s market performance and the Ethereum Foundation’s fund management. While BTC has repeatedly reached new all-time highs, Ethereum has yet to return to the $4,891 high reached in 2021. The Ethereum Foundation has been selling ETH without effectively promoting ecosystem innovation, leaving many disappointed. Eric Conner, a core Ethereum developer and co-author of EIP-1559, announced his departure from the Ethereum community last month, stating that he will focus his energy on the integration of cryptocurrency and AI, dealing another blow to the struggling Ethereum community. In an effort to save Ethereum, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin announced significant reforms to the leadership structure of the Ethereum Foundation last month, stating that Ethereum developers should focus on finding ways to raise funds and increase the price of ETH, such as burning some gas fees or staking ETH and donating the proceeds to the Ethereum community. However, there has been some good news for Ethereum recently, as the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) swiftly approved Bitwise’s BTC and Ethereum combined ETF, allowing the ETF to be listed and traded on NYSE Arca, briefly pushing Ethereum above the $3,400 level on Friday.
