Ethereum is a centralized shitcoin that began with a massive 72 million ETH premine. Ethereum launched with 12 million ETH given to the developers and 60 million ETH sold sold for BTC as a part of its "initial coin offering" during the presale. The Ethereum developers purposely misled investors by suggesting that there was merely a 12 million ETH premine and ignoring the 60 million ETH that they sold during the presale, misleading total supply graphs in their prospectus. This is a serious concern in light of Ripple getting sued by the SEC due to XRP being an illegal security, which means in due time we should expect the SEC to also go after Ethereum developers and the Ethereum foundation for creating and selling an illegal security (ETH is a security because it passes the Howey Test).

Here is a clip of the co-founder of Ethereum, Joseph Lubin, describing how they allowed whales to use multiple fake identities to buy as much ETH as they wanted during the Ethereum presale. "A person can buy with any number of different identities. We may limit the unit size of a single sale to make it easier to disguise. So that nobody scares people with an enormous initial purchase. If you are a whale and you plan on investing several million US dollars worth, then you can do so with with multiple identities."
