To conclude first, from 2025 to 2027 (Fire and Earth luck), the wealth net worth will be in a state of fluctuation and shrinkage, while from 2028 to 2030 (Metal and Earth luck), there will be three consecutive years of a wild bull market.

Ethereum and Vitalik's destiny

Vitalik's financial fortune largely represents the price trend of ETH. From the historical price comparison and retraction, both Vitalik's destiny and ETH's destiny favor the five elements of Earth and Metal, and Earth only favors specific moist Earth. Historically, the years when Metal was relatively abundant include 2016 (Fire Monkey), 2017 (Earth Rooster), 2020 (Metal Rat), and 2021 (Metal Ox); historically, the years when moist Earth was abundant were 2021 (Metal Ox) and 2024 (Wood Dragon).

Vitalik's destiny is a relatively typical weak body and aligns with the standard of three harmonies in the Earthly Branch from a financial perspective. The hour is personally calculated, and there seems to be only one top-level pattern to choose from the 12 hours, which is the Yin Ox hour. The month pillar is Wood, which is an unfavorable god, while the hour pillar's Metal has roots, and the clash between Wood and Metal can suppress the unfavorable god, which is auspicious. The three-harmony situation of the Earthly Branches Snake, Rooster, and Ox indicates that both internally and externally, there are financial reserves, which is a very high-level hour. Another hour is the Metal Dog hour, with the combination of Wood and Metal, and while the three branches of Snake, Rooster, and Ox also exist, the clash between Ox and Dog and the piercing between Rooster and Dog will be quite complicated, slightly lowering the level, yet it still represents a wealthy pattern. Details of character and handling of matters in later years may appear quite different on a micro level.

Since Vitalik's destiny is a personal destiny, it will naturally follow the trend, sacrificing life for wealth, favoring wealth and secondary print, which are Metal and moist Earth. Water, officials, and killing are not particularly unfavorable, but dry Earth, Fire, and Wood are quite unfavorable. Since switching to Water Dog luck in 2022, the consecutive four years of Wood luck, with strong Wood energy and roots, do not easily lead to breakthroughs in wealth net worth, manifesting as wide fluctuations.

Even if one has a destiny that has just reached a certain level, walking through very poor fortune and years still resembles the ceiling of an ordinary person. Ethereum cannot reach zero; it just happens to have gone through six consecutive years of Wood and Fire luck, with a longer period of fluctuation, making it easier to break the long-term faith of believers.

In the year of the Water Pig, the Seven Killings represent Ethereum's career, and Water can also be understood as an ideology. Before 2022, it was all about the Water Pig luck, which naturally clashes with the Earth of Vitalik's Day Pillar. Water Pig also represents fame, career, ideology, and religious flow. The clash of heaven and earth can symbolize that Vitalik's proposal on this ideology aligns very well with his thoughts and he will willingly believe this is the vision of a trustworthy distributed internet platform for the next generation. Thus, we can see that the main work during this major luck is to output ideology, allowing more people to board, build, trust, and spread.

A destiny typically has a larger pattern. After switching to the Water Dog luck in the year of the Water Tiger 2022, the entire operation of the Heavenly Stems underwent a tremendous change. Originally, it was Water clashing with Fire, but now it has become Fire merging with Water. As mentioned above, Water also represents fame, while Fire is combined, reducing the power of Water, making the entire major luck prone to criticism, symbolizing a decline in the ability to manage public opinion while time and energy are spent dealing with the righteous official Water.

The years containing Wood luck are from 2022 to 2025, especially the strong roots of Wood falling to the ground can easily lower the wealth level of Vitalik, and reputation is also not easy to improve. In the year of Wood Dragon 2024, Ethereum can rise mainly because the Earth of Dragon is moist, and the power of Dragon and Rooster transforming into Metal is relatively strong. However, the Heavenly Stem is Wood, which does not play a particularly good role.

In the year of the Wood Snake 2025, Wood emerges. Since entering the atmosphere in February, Ethereum seems to have hardly rebounded, which is quite unfavorable for Wood to emerge. Wood represents secondary print, and the decline of secondary print can also symbolize criticism. The Fire of Snake represents wealth robbery, and the occurrence of wealth robbery when encountering wealth naturally symbolizes selling. The pillar of Wood Snake carries the secondary print of wealth robbery, selling while cursing, and the Fire of Snake can also symbolize the existing vested interests originally on Ethereum, such as: DEFI protocols, node validators (miners), exchanges, early ecological holders, early low-cost whales, etc.

In the year 2026, the year of the Fire Horse, wealth robbery increases, seemingly the year with the most criticism and selling. Fire steals the light of Earth, which could symbolize a series of 'wealth robbery' roles, 'pulling down' Vitalik and using his resources to 'ascend'. This role could be individuals within the ecological foundation or existing vested interests. The level of backstabbing in Fire Horse is relatively high, and at this stage, ‘pulling down’ Vitalik has become politically correct.

In the year 2027, the year of the Fire Goat, dry earth does not produce gold, and the Earth of the Goat is also a store of fire. In June, the three signs of Snake, Horse, and Goat will meet, and there may still be a final small round of backstabbing. Life is like a K-line; it rarely occurs more than three times. Successfully building a bottom three times is considered the end of bad news.

In the year of the Earth Monkey 2028, the Earth Rooster 2029, and the Metal Dog 2030, these three years will be the golden three years of continued growth in Vitalik's wealth net worth, and all three years will experience consecutive Metal luck, which is a scenario where Earth produces Metal. Significant technological innovations are expected to land, and the applications will be widely disseminated.

After Vitalik, the major fortunes of the years Xin You, Geng Shen, and Ji Wei represent very pure Metal and Earth luck, and the wealth level will be several orders of magnitude higher than now. It is rare to see a destiny that can continuously have good fortune for 50 years, which represents the ceiling of that fate.

Ethereum may not always be successful, but Vitalik will always have money.
