It is therefore conceivable that there are blockchain addresses that cannot be attributed to his ownership.<\/p>\n<p>The development of new encryption technology for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/en\/knowledge\/what-is-a-blockchain-basics-and-functionality\/\"><u>blockchain<\/u><\/a> could be a reason for Buterin&#8217;s sell-offs. On January 30, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/VitalikButerin\/status\/2017145595819933745\">he announced<\/a> that he intends to finance various projects with 16,384 ETH. This amount of money corresponds to his potential sales in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next five years, he plans to use the money to finance developments that are crucial for Ethereum. This involves achieving a balance of high scalability, sustainability, and resilience. Scalability has so far been considered a weakness of the blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>He also wants to guarantee the security and neutrality of the blockchain. Ensuring privacy is crucial for this. Currently, Ethereum is transparent.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;For this reason, I have just withdrawn 16,384 ETH, which will be used for these goals in the coming years.

While it&#8217;s not impossible for Buterin to offload coins to buy back at a lower price, it&#8217;s highly unlikely.<\/p>\n<p>When Ethereum first launched in a pre-sale in 2014, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/en\/knowledge\/what-are-cryptocurrencies-explanation-for-beginners\/\"><u>cryptocurrency<\/u><\/a> had a market value of 0.31 US dollars. Current price fluctuations are therefore of little significance to Buterin. The programmer has already become a billionaire due to Ethereum&#8217;s massive price gains.<\/p>\n<p>Ethereum lost 21 percent of its market value over the last month. Since yesterday, the cryptocurrency has at least gained 5.60 percent. According to experts, the crypto market is currently at a crossroads.<\/p>\n<p>Both losses and gains are conceivable in the short term. According to CoinShares, this broad spectrum of opinions is currently reflected in the exchanges. Crypto investment products are seeing outflows in the US, while international markets are already making repurchases at the current low prices.<\/p>\n<p>Buy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/en\/buy\/where-can-you-buy-and-trade-ethereum-guide\/\"><u>Ethereum<\/u><\/a> now!<\/p>\n<p>Image: Flickr | Author: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/techcrunch\/22987802684\"><u>TechCrunch<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has been selling millions worth of Ethereum for weeks.
