Vitalik replied under its Aug. 31 tweet that "since 2018, no Ethereum has been sold for personal profit purposes," saying, "The above also applies to my holdings of L2 tokens or other project tokens. All proceeds will be donated and used again to support public goods within the Ethereum ecosystem or wider philanthropy. I also have no plans to invest in L2 or other token projects for the foreseeable future. My goal in funding projects is to support things that I believe are valuable, especially if other parts of the ecosystem may underestimate them. Going forward, I plan to achieve this only through donations."
