🧤 Vitalik Buterin responded to criticism of cryptocurrency sales from the Ethereum Foundation's reserves:

1️⃣ The organization pays developers who support the network's infrastructure, development, and security.

2️⃣ Sending another 35,000 ETH to Kraken does not mean an immediate sale.

3️⃣ Buterin stated that the primary reason for the organization’s avoidance of staking is a desire to maintain neutrality in the event of a "contentious hard fork."

4️⃣ Vitalik himself noted that his own Ethereum reserves have "even grown" over the past month.
