In the crypto world, everything is traceable.
For example, if you know the ENS domain name Vitalik.eth of Ethereum founder Buterin, you can know the wallet address of Buterin, and you can see the balance of the wallet, the NFTs it holds, and the wallet interaction information.
From the debank asset dashboard, we can see that there are more than 2.9 million US dollars in the wallet. Almost all assets are on the Ethereum chain. There are only more than 3,000 US dollars on the OP and ARB chains, and the balances on other public chains are 0.
It seems that Buterin is only optimistic about his own public chain and hardly pays attention to other public chains.

Looking at the distribution of wallet assets, more than 1.8 million US dollars are placed on a Defi platform called Reflexer, accounting for 62.8%. I pledged 2,500 ETH and lent more than 390,000 RAI. It seems that the rate of return is good.

From Opensea, we can see that there are 1,200 NFTs in V God’s wallet, most of which were transferred to him from other addresses. Just like last year, when SHIB was launched, 50% of shib was sent to Buterin’s wallet as a marketing gimmick.
One of the series, Cult Vitalik, seems to be an NFT issued by Buterin himself, but it has not left the circle. The current floor price is 0.01MATIC, and the cumulative transaction volume is less than 1ETH. It seems that the big guy’s ability to carry goods is average.

There is also Brazilian football star Neymar. You can check his wallet and the NFTs he holds from the boring ape 6633 he posted on social media.
From opensea, it can be seen that the wallet holds 63 NFTs, including 2 Boring Monkey BAYC and other NFTs.
Boring Ape 5269 was purchased for 189.69 ETH on January 21, 2022, which was $569,070 at the time. Based on the current Boring Ape price of 75 ETH, Neymar has lost more than 480,000 US dollars. Celebrities are also chasing higher prices and buying at historical highs.

Judging from the frequency of Neymar's wallet transactions, it is mainly due to frequent operations in the first half of 2022. At that time, the NFT market was also very popular, and many celebrities entered NFT, especially the purchase of the Boring Ape series.
By the time Boring Monkey Land went online in May, it was Boring Monkey's highlight moment. Then the market enthusiasm dropped, floor prices fell, and the bear market deepened. All the celebrities who entered the show at that time must have been tricked.
The wallet balance has more than 20,000 APE and 60 ETH. It seems that it is mainly playing NFT and does not have much other activities in the crypto market.

There is also a group of friends. When chatting with each other, I felt that everyone was just ordinary people, until one day I accidentally noticed his wallet address. I really didn’t know it and was shocked when I saw it.
There are more than 35,000 ETH in his wallet. According to the current price, it is more than 42 million US dollars and more than 290 million yuan. He is really a billionaire.
He simply seized the opportunity in the crypto market earlier than others in the group and made the right bet.

Ethereum was launched in 2014, when the price dropped to $0.3; in 2017, the price rose from $8 at the beginning of the year to more than $800 at the end of the year.
By 2022, although the price has dropped from more than 3,800 US dollars to less than 1,200 US dollars now, it is still a huge gain compared to the previous investment.
Those who invested in the public chain of Ethereum are really huge winners.

On the blockchain, every behavior can be seen and every wallet activity can be followed. It is convenient for ordinary people to follow whale dynamics, and it is also convenient for hackers to monitor the assets on the chain, find loopholes and steal them.
According to data from the security platform Beosin, losses in the encryption market due to hacker attacks in 2022 will exceed $3.6 billion. The largest vulnerability was the cross-chain bridge, with a loss of approximately US$1.89 billion, ranking first among all project types.

The traceability of the blockchain allows all behaviors on the chain to be tracked; at the same time, the decentralization feature also makes the technology more important. The wallet is one of the most important tools on the chain, and the mnemonic is the only credential for the wallet.
Even if you have tens of millions of assets, if your mnemonic phrase is accidentally leaked or your wallet is stolen, your assets will be lost to zero in an instant.
It has been 12 years since Bitcoin was launched in 2010. Bitcoin will continue to write new stories in the future; and the encryption market has indeed changed many ordinary people.
The above is just my personal opinion, no investment advice. I am Chuxiaolian, and I am paying attention to the metaverse and web3.
