When a legendary figure sells coins, should retail investors follow suit?



Since February 2nd, Vitalik Buterin has sold 21,700 ETH, and the buzz has skyrocketed. The question is: when the founder reduces holdings, what should we do?
First, don’t idolize. Founders are also ordinary people who need cash flow and diversification of investments. Second, the market capacity far exceeds individual holdings; prices are not determined by a single point.
Interestingly, crypto market sentiment often moves faster than data. After the news was released, discussion forums instantly split into two camps: one shouting “top is in,” the other shouting “golden buy-in.” What truly determines the trend is the balance of buying and selling forces.
If the price remains steady under selling pressure, it indicates market strength; if it drops, it may be amplified by emotional factors. True experts focus on trading volume and absorption, not headlines.
In the decentralized world, no one can decide the future alone. Building investment logic solely on whether someone is selling coins is inherently risky.
One last note: When Vitalik presses the sell button, the market amplifies emotions. Which button you press depends on your judgment. #Vitalik累计出售2.17万枚ETH
