Vitalik Buterin responds to Ethereum Foundation critics, reiterates neutrality goals

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin rejected calls for the Ethereum Foundation to prioritize token price support and marketing, saying it will remain a purpose-limited participant focused on decentralization and security. He added that the Foundation holds about 0.16% of all ETH, compared with other protocol foundations that often control 10-50% of their native token supply. Buterin also said the Foundation plans to emphasize "longevity" and sell less ETH going forward, while noting it unstaked 21,270 ETH from Lido in May.
