The Ethereum Foundation, a name synonymous with prestige, has stumbled badly today.

Former head of protocol support Kayleen Fulton has sued the Foundation and Vitalik Buterin in Colorado federal court. The timeline is painful: she disclosed on March 24 that she had ovarian cancer, then was fired on April 6—just 13 days later.

On the same day, another organizer of the open letter was fired within 30 minutes.

The flashpoint was a new mission statement the Foundation released on March 13. It included a “Source Seppuku License” clause, saying those who disagreed should “commit seppuku with a sword.” Fifty-three Protocol team employees signed a joint letter opposing it, organized by Fulton. On May 1, she also recorded a call with Vitalik Buterin in Norway.

These are allegations made by the plaintiff; the court hasn’t ruled yet. But the timing is remarkably unfortunate: $ETH is now at 2,059, just $59 above 2,000. Its low this morning was 2,006, just $6 above that level. $BTC 73,914 is also hovering around its 200-day moving average of 73,158.

With the Foundation’s own house in disarray, will institutions still dare to treat ETH as a serious asset?

A: If 2,000 holds, that’s the bottom; the scandal is just noise—buy without hesitation. B: The Foundation is in chaos; if 2,000 breaks, look to 1,900 first. Which side are you on?
