【The Art of Selling Off by Top Ethereum Players: A History of Power Transfer in the Crypto World】

As an old investor who has experienced three bull and bear markets, today I will help you uncover Ethereum's most secret ledger—those years of the founding team's 'strategic retreat' can be considered the most exquisite trading lessons in blockchain history.

The Foundation's Escape Top Textbook

In 2017, at the peak of $1200, they sold 70,000 ETH; in 2021, at $3500, they sold 35,000 ETH again; in 2024, they still hold 240,000 ETH with a current value exceeding $600 million. This nonprofit organization has demonstrated what high selling and low buying for ecosystem development looks like, with an annual reinvestment of $130 million for developers, understanding the capital game better than most VCs.

Founder's Retreat Roadmap

Vitalik cut his holding of 500,000 ETH in half, with a smart tax strategy hidden behind charitable donations; Gavin Wood, the father of Polkadot, cashed out hundreds of thousands of ETH and went all-in on cross-chain projects; the most ruthless is Jeffrey Wilcke, who cashed out $510 million over nine years, and in May this year made his last move, dumping 100,000 ETH to completely clear his account—these individuals prove through their actions: there are no eternal believers in blockchain, only eternal interests.

Three Disruptive Truths

The Foundation's funding application volume for ecological developers surged by 300% in the 30 days before each sale (on-chain data can be verified).

The founding team's holding ratio plummeted from 21% in 2017 to 3.7% now, but the market share of DApp's value increased by 21%.

Over the past three years, 51% of Vitalik's on-chain transfers have gone to nonprofit organizations; this may be the true value investment.

Do you understand now? When the founding team turned ETH into an ATM, the real power was shifting to 423 global development organizations. Finally, here’s a question for you to ponder: was it the founders' liquidation that achieved decentralization, or did decentralization push the founders out? The answer lies within the bloody K-lines of each on-chain transaction. $ETH #ETH走势分析
