Buterin increases activity on X, surpassing posts from past 18 months

Buterin increases activity on X, surpassing posts from past 18 months

Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH), has significantly increased his activity on X, formerly known as Twitter, in August. 

After being criticised for abandoning the platform, he posted over 150 times in the past month, a substantial rise compared to his activity over the last year and a half.

According to Alex Krüger, a trader and economist, Buterin made at least 158 posts or replies on X in August, focusing on topics related to Ether (ETH), the Ethereum blockchain, and other subjects. 

This is a sharp contrast to his previous activity; from January to July, he only posted 44 times, with just 13 posts throughout the entire year of 2023.

Buterin acknowledged the shift in his posting behavior, stating on August 20, "I was told to do less philosophizing and do more Ethereum bullposting.” 

This move came after he faced criticism for allegedly abandoning X in favor of Farcaster, a smaller platform where he engaged with like-minded individuals without much public scrutiny. 

The call for his return to X was amplified by “Autism Capital,” an account urging Buterin to push Ethereum on a broader platform.

In the past month, Buterin has continued his active engagement on X, with over 30 posts or replies in September alone. 

His recent discussions have included suggestions for the Ethereum community to increase pressure on Layer 2 networks that lack adequate decentralisation protocols.

Meanwhile, Buterin's activity has coincided with some significant financial moves. 

In August, he transferred around $10 million worth of Ether to wallets associated with crypto exchanges. 

Data from Arkham Intelligence revealed that Buterin's address has had outflows totaling approximately 422,000 ETH (about $993 million) since 2015. 

This led to speculation that Buterin might be selling his Ether holdings. 

However, he clarified that he has never sold his Ether for profit but only to support various valuable projects.

At the time of reporting, the Ethereum (ETH) price was $2,341.44.
