I just saw an interesting debate in the crypto community. Culper Research posted a rather bold statement — they are opening short positions on ETH and related assets ( like BMNR), arguing that Ethereum's tokenomics supposedly deteriorated after the Fusaka upgrade at the end of 2025. Their argument: Vitalik understands this and has started selling ETH, while Tom Lee, one of the most persistent bulls, continues to increase his positions with real money.

But here’s what’s interesting — Vitalik’s father, Dmitry Buterin (known as dima.eth), almost immediately responded to these accusations. His reaction was quite sharp: as soon as you see the phrase "Vitalik knows about this and is selling," it becomes clear that these are not serious researchers, but just guys trying to attract attention with provocative statements.

This is a typical situation in the crypto space — analysts make bold predictions, spark discussions, and interested parties quickly challenge them. It will be interesting to see how this all unfolds further, especially considering Vitalik’s own behavior in the market.
