Vitalik Buterin: Shorting ETH is like "Bill Gates shorting Tesla-level bad idea"

BlockBeats News, January 8th, Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Richard Li posted, stating, "ETH's 25-year return is not low. There was more than a triple opportunity from 1400 to 4900. We went long on ETH at over 1000 and liquidated ETH around 4500, all transparent on-chain operations."

"This time around, we bought the dip around 3000, remaining consistent in words and deeds. We believe ETH still has significant opportunities in 2026, unafraid of any doubts (more doubts at the previous low). The key is that everyone ultimately benefits from the trend. At the same time, we will have more Build on ETH's journey."

"To the shorters, ETH is the best target for shorting. However, ETH longs are working together to prove that shorting ETH and the industry is the worst decision, just like Bill Gates shorting Tesla."
