Is V神 selling tokens a collapse of faith or just routine financial management?

Since February 2, when Vitalik Buterin sold 21,700 ETH, many people's first reaction was: is something about to change? But upon reflection, for the Ethereum figurehead to sell tokens doesn't necessarily mean a "cynical declaration." For founders, having a large portion of assets concentrated in their own tokens is inherently a risk management challenge. Moderate liquidation is more like rebalancing personal assets rather than sending a warning to the market.
The market always loves to interpret every transfer by the founder as an "oracle." In reality, selling tokens could be for charity, development funding, personal investment, or tax arrangements. Compared to the vast circulating supply, these 20,000+ ETH are more like a small breeze than a hurricane. What truly influences prices are overall liquidity, ETF fund movements, macroeconomic environment, and on-chain activity.
What's even more interesting is the psychological game: retail investors may feel anxious when they see founders selling tokens, but institutions tend to be more rational—they focus more on network upgrades, staking ratios, and application growth. If the fundamentals haven't changed, short-term fluctuations might actually be opportunities for trading.
So, instead of obsessing over wallet addresses, it's better to focus on protocol development. Founders selling tokens doesn't mean a loss of faith; market panic is the real amplifier. Be more rational, and you might realize this is more like a routine operation rather than an apocalyptic warning. #V神卖币
