Analyzing Vitalik's Eight Characters to Predict ETH's Macro Trend in the Next Five Years

To conclude, from 2025 to 2027 (Fire and Earth luck), ETH will be in a state of wealth value oscillation and contraction, while from 2028 to 2030 (Metal and Earth luck), there will be three consecutive years of violent bull market.

Vitalik's financial fortune largely represents ETH's price trend. From historical price comparisons, both Vitalik's and ETH's eight characters favor the Earth and Metal elements, with a preference for specific wet earth. Years when Metal was strong include 2016, 2017, 2020, and 2021; years when wet earth was strong include 2021 and 2024.

Vitalik's eight characters are typically extremely weak, with a standard financial pattern from the Earth branch's triple harmony. The time of birth, chosen from 12 possible hours, seems to have only one top-tier configuration: the Xin Chou hour. The monthly pillar's Yi Wood is a taboo god, while the Xin Metal in the hour pillar has root energy, and the Xin and Yi clash suppresses the taboo god, making it auspicious.

Since switching to the Ren Xu luck in 2022, there have been four consecutive years of Wood luck. Strong Wood with root makes it difficult to breakthrough in wealth value, manifesting as wide-range oscillation.

With a high-level destiny, even in poor luck and annual cycles, Ethereum is unlikely to go to zero. However, experiencing six consecutive years of Wood and Fire luck means a longer oscillation cycle that can easily break the long-term faith of believers.

The annual Gui Water represents Ethereum's career, which can be understood as an ideology. Before 2022, it was in the Gui Hai luck, naturally clashing with Vitalik's day pillar, symbolizing reputation, career, ideology, and religious flow.

From 2022 to 2025, years with Wood luck can easily reduce Vitalik's wealth level and reputation. 2024 (Jia Chen year) might see ETH rising, mainly because Chen Earth is wet earth and can transform into Metal. However, the Jia Wood in the heavenly stem doesn't play a particularly good role.

In 2025 (Yi Si year), Yi Wood emerges, potentially symbolizing selling and criticism. In 2026 (Bing Wu year), there might be more "robbing wealth" scenarios, with potential internal conflicts within the ecosystem.

From 2028 to 2030, these three years represent Vitalik's golden period of wealth growth, with continuous Metal luck. This period might see significant technological innovations with widespread application.

Ethereum may not always be successful, but Vitalik will always be wealthy.
