🚨 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?
