Vitalik Buterin who is the chief inventor of Ethereum cryptocurrency has declared the Ether amount in his crypto-wallet. Vitalik also shared his wallet address at an interview with NYU Economist “Nouriel Roubini“.
I officially predict a financial crisis some time between now and 2021.
Not because I have any special knowledge or even actually think that, but so that I can have a ~25% (or whatever) chance of later being publicly acclaimed as “a guru who predicted the last financial crisis”.

Roubini, having a nickname of “Doctor Doom“, who has predicted the 2008 crisis successfully has accused Vitalik Buterin and the co-founder Joe Lubin for stealing the 75% of Ether. According to Roubini, Joseph Lubin and Vitalik Buterin were the chain leaders of the scam mining scheme.

Vitalik Buterin defenced himself by saying that he has never owned more than 0.9% of Ether in his crypto-wallet and the net worth of his wealth has never approached one billion United States Dollar. Additionally, Vitalik has stated that the criminal laws were not covering the pre-mining process.
Then Vitalik shared his Ethereum e-wallet address with the balance details. During my news post, the total amount of Ether he owns equals to around 365,000 Ether with a USD value of approximately 71.4 million USD.
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.
