這就是以太坊創始人轉移 200 萬美元 ETH 的原因

以太坊聯合創始人 Vitalik Buterin 否認了他為了個人利益而出售大量以太幣的指控。

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has denied selling large amounts of Ether (ETH) for personal gain, following allegations that he has been doing so to the tune of millions of dollars.

以太坊聯合創始人維塔利克·布特林 (Vitalik Buterin) 否認出售大量以太幣 (ETH) 以謀取個人利益，此前有指控稱他出售了大量以太幣 (ETH)，金額達數百萬美元。

According to blockchain data tracker Lookonchain, Buterin transferred 800 ETH, currently valued at around $2 million, to a multi-signature (multi-sig) wallet on Aug. 30. The recipient address then swapped 190 ETH for 477,000 USD Coin (USDC) shortly after.

據區塊鏈數據追蹤器Lookonchain 稱，Buterin 於8 月30 日將800 ETH（目前價值約200 萬美元）轉移到多重簽名（multi-sig）錢包。 477,000 美元代幣（USDC）後。

In a post on social media platform X, Lookonchain also noted that Buterin had moved 3,000 ETH, equivalent to more than $8 million, to the same multi-sig address on Aug. 9. This activity has been closely monitored by members of the crypto community.

Lookonchain 在社群媒體平台X 上的一篇貼文中還指出，Buterin 於8 月9 日將3,000 ETH（相當於超過800 萬美元）轉移到同一個多重簽名地址。密切監控。

One community member accused Buterin of ignoring commentary on his recent ETH transfers, while another suggested that it would not be inappropriate for him to take some profit by reducing his ETH holdings.

一名社群成員指責 Buterin 無視對其最近 ETH 轉帳的評論，而另一名社群成員則表示，他透過減少 ETH 持有量來獲取一些利潤並沒有什麼不合適的。

However, Buterin responded to this supportive post on X, stating that he has not sold any ETH for personal gain since 2018. According to Buterin:

然而，Buterin 在 X 上回應了這篇支持性的帖子，表示自 2018 年以來，他沒有出售任何 ETH 以謀取個人利益。

“I haven’t sold and kept the proceeds since 2018. All sales have been to support various projects that I think are valuable, either within the Ethereum ecosystem or broader charity (e.g. biomedical R&D).”

「自 2018 年以來，我沒有出售並保留收益。所有銷售都用於支持我認為有價值的各種項目，無論是在以太坊生態系統內還是更廣泛的慈善機構（例如生物醫學研發）。”

This revelation garnered further support from the online crypto community, with some members encouraging the Ethereum co-founder to spend some of his assets on luxury items.

這一消息得到了線上加密貨幣社群的進一步支持，一些成員鼓勵以太坊聯合創始人將部分資產花在奢侈品上。

Buterin disclosed in a Reddit post three years ago that all the Ether tokens he owns — 11.9 million ETH at the time — come from the pre-mine period, during which he received approximately 700,000 ETH.

三年前，Buterin 在 Reddit 貼文中透露，他擁有的所有 Ether 代幣（當時為 1,190 萬 ETH）都來自預挖階段，在此期間他收到了大約 70 萬 ETH。

For context, pre-mining can be likened to initial coin offerings (ICOs), where founders, developers, and early investors are rewarded with a percentage of the tokens.

就上下文而言，預挖礦可以比作首次代幣發行（ICO），其中創始人、開發人員和早期投資者將獲得一定比例的代幣獎勵。

According to blockchain intelligence firm Arkham, Buterin currently holds about 240,000 ETH, valued at around $1.06 billion. This present figure is roughly 423,000 ETH less than the initial tokens received by the Ethereum co-founder.

據區塊鏈情報公司 Arkham 稱，Buterin 目前持有約 24 萬枚 ETH，價值約 10.6 億美元。目前的數字比以太坊聯合創始人收到的初始代幣少了大約 423,000 ETH。

At the time of writing, the price of Ethereum has fallen below $2,500, reflecting a 1.9% decline over the last 24 hours. The altcoin's price is also down by more than 10% in the past week, according to data from CoinGecko.

截至撰寫本文時，以太坊的價格已跌破 2,500 美元，在過去 24 小時內下跌了 1.9%。根據 CoinGecko 的數據，過去一週山寨幣的價格也下跌了 10% 以上。
