Alleged criticism of Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin for not staking a significant portion of his ETH holdings raises questions about trust in the protocol. However, the Cardano Foundation staunchly defends their decision to stake all their ADA holdings. This controversy highlights the different perspectives on risk management in the cryptocurrency space.

Is Vitalik Buterin’s lack of trust in Ethereum evident in his minimal staking?

• Some argue that Vitalik’s decision to stake only a small portion of his Ethereum raises doubts about his confidence in the protocol.
• Others believe that it is simply a prudent approach to risk management and not necessarily an indictment of Ethereum.
