In their response, a Twitter user, Morgan J. Weaver wondered why the Ethereum co-founder is selling off some of his crypto assets, eliciting several answers from users. While some said that it’s a sign that crypto winter is not yet over, others say that Buterin could be broke.

One user, BTC Mix, called the Moon token a crappy coin and said that Buterin was right in dumping it, while Daily News Crypto called the MoonDAO garbage project.
