Vitalik Buterin Reveals How Much Ethereum (ETH) He Owns in Response to Dr. Doom
Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin just revealed how much ETH he’s holding.
In a new tweet, Buterin responds to an accusation by NYU economist and crypto critic Nouriel Roubini, who brands Buterin along with Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin as scammers and thieves.
I never personally held more than ~0.9% of all ETH, and my net worth never came close to $1b. Also, I'm pretty sure there are no criminal laws against pre-mining.

Though that doesn't just include sales, it also includes some gifts and charity donations.

The address revealed by Buterin holds 365,003 ETH, worth more than $74 million. He also holds about $100,000 in OmiseGo (OMG). Buterin says the address details most of his big trades. He also has some other addresses that are “quite small relatively speaking.”
Roubini, whose nickname is “Dr. Doom” for predicting the global financial crisis of 2008.
He is scheduled to debate Coin Center tomorrow at a congressional hearing on cryptocurrency. The event is expected to be live streamed at 10:00 a.m. EST.
