Well, it seems like he has been on rest since the first week of September. It's a nice long rest, that's for sure!

~snip~
Everyone has to take a short break at some points. We are all human, not robots and can not works continuously and aggressively from years to years. Vitalik is a very perfectionist and I believe he will return to code and upgrade Ethereum, with supports from Ethereum core team members too. When times reach the right point, important upgrade of Ethereum will be released. It depends not only on Ethereum development pace but also depends on market conditions.

Could it be related to the alleged multi-millions he made from selling lots of ETH when it was over the $1000 mark 

Just had a look at Vitalik's Github; the guy seems to be less interested in coding lately:

Even if Vitalik already sold most of his ETH and ETC holdings, he should still own some.

I just don't believe Vitalik now holds zero ETH or ETC.

How you can say this Vitalik still holding ETC even he already sold his ETH too than it sounds weird. There is big chance he off load all his holdings at the peak time of previous cycle. Than don't keep high expectations from that guy he is still holding that free coins.

Well, all ETC hodlers will have a big chance to make some good money here if ETC will be implemented in sharding on ETH going pos (2.0)

Btw, I think that Vitalik has never sold his ETC from the fork 

I am at a crossroads right now where i am able to cash in 8k worth of crypto and im thinking to split it between bitcoin and ethereum, I just need to decide how much of each.

What would you advise and what do you expect will happen with the market in the next 12 months and beyond? many thanks in advance. Mike.

Welcome to the New Beginning

When the grand experiment that is bitcoin began, the anonymous wizard desired to test two parameters- a trustless, decentralized database enjoying security enforced by the austere relentlessness of cryptography and a robust transaction system capable of sending value across the world without intermediaries. Yet the past five years years have painfully demonstrated a third missing feature: a sufficiently powerful Turing-complete scripting language. Up until this point, most innovation in advanced applications such as domain and identity registration, user-issued currencies, smart property, smart contracts, and decentralized exchange has been highly fragmented, and implementing any of these technologies has required creating an entire meta-protocol layer or even a specialized blockchain. Theoretically, however, each and every one of these innovations and more can potentially be made hundreds of times easier to implement, and easier to scale, if only there was a stronger foundational layer with a powerful scripting language for all of these protocols to build upon. And this need is what we seek to satisfy.

Ethereum is a modular, stateful, Turing-complete contract scripting system married to a blockchain and developed with a philosophy of simplicity, universal accessibility and generalization. Our goal is to provide a platform for decentralized applications - an android of the cryptocurrency world, where all efforts can share a common set of APIs, trustless interactions and no compromises. We ask for the community to join us as volunteers, developers, investors and evangelists seeking to enable a fundamentally different paradigm for the internet and the relationships it provides.

Exactly, this is the first time after very long because previously when the price of Bitcoin, ETH price starts decreasing in the market. We have to see whether this trend will continue or not because very soon there is a Bitcoin halving whether it will survive at the current value or not.

Decreasing? I think I saw a different movement..based on https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/, ETH has increase 10% today and that's a good sign that soon it would rise again, we are very close to $200 again, well, at least that's the next stop I think ETH would achieve.

last year our high was just around $300 IIRC, but this time for sure it will be higher because we saw how BSV made ATH today and for sure ETH can do that with the hype of ETH 2.0 happening.
