You can lol, but it's true. The same with ETH.

If you compare BTC and BCH thoroughly and without prejudice today you will realize, that BTC is actually the shitcoin with no capacity for p2p cash but apes on chain. BCH on the other has the sound money features of Bitcoin and the smart contract capability of ETH.

This is where people get tripped up sometimes you cost averaged or got in at fair value your timing was actually right but your psychology sees that your negative is back to base line.
This could be the signal ETH is ready to recover so if you sell you regret it, or were retesting key resistance and will go one more leg before a run up.

Hello everyone,
I’m new here and I’m considering starting scalping. I’ve been advised by reviews to focus on scalping BTC and ETH rather than day trading stocks. I plan to start with $500 and gradually increase my investment. I’m not aiming for massive returns; a few dollars a day would be perfect. I’ll limit myself to two trades per day.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this approach. What tools and resources do you use? I’ll be using BTCC.com since I’m Canadian, and other apps haven’t been recommended by people or reviews. I’m not planning to purchase anything at the moment.
Thanks for your help!

>You’re telling me I don’t know wtf I’m talking about running a node, at the same time Eth s value has nothing to do with activity on chain!!!??
Yes, that is exactly what I'm telling you. This is staking 101 and you don't understand it, which is insane to me if you claim to run a node as well. More staking = LOWER APY.
This is why the APY is so low these days because there are many validators. When staking first came out, there were less validators and thus lower APY. It's that simple. This is literally how the network is designed.
And yea, ETH's value has nothing to do with on chain activity because none of that on chain activity results in auto-buybacks or (significant) burns. This is literally why the price has performed so terribly over the past few years yet at the same time TVL and activity of the network has gone up. The fat app thesis has already played out, and the fat protocol thesis has not.

> So if I proposed changing Ethereum's gas limit from 60M to 60B you would support it?
Holy strawman, batman!
No, I would not support it, because it is obviously absurd. But I would support a more careful, incremental increase.
In the same way, I would not support an EIP that drops the APY to -20% when staked ETH is >10% of all ETH.

Is BTC and ETH "easier" than MNQ and MES?

In practice, I've had way more delays/issues on THORChain than on ChainFlip personally (mainly trading to acquire BTC).
On a technology/market level, THORChain pools pair every supported asset with RUNE (a BTC-to-ETH swap effectively passes through BTC/RUNE and RUNE/ETH internally) when Chainflip executes swaps through its virtual just in time AMM (automated market marker) where orders are processed on its State Chain and settled using native assets held in protocol vaults.
As I said before I had a better time on ChainFlip in terms of delays, and fees remain reasonable but I've mainly used them through ShapeShift which generally has lower fees than ThorSwap (and supports both chains, and more).

Ask yourself this question. What is the fastest horse? If you think ETH is the fastest horse then hold in and possibly add to your position.

Silver, gold, copper, bitcoin, ETH. What’s coming in September will change the trajectory. Mark it.

Holding something hoping it returns to break even is a lost opportunity if you have an alternate investment you would prefer. You don’t have any conviction on ETH so there isn’t any harm moving onto something else.

Wrong. Theres actually too much ETH being staked now

Tradfi accepts the yield narrative and that's driving adoption.
>That is what lets ETH into investment mandates requiring a return profile rather than just a directional view on asset appreciation. It is a critical reason why tens of billions of dollars of investor sentiment has flowed into ETH through ETPs, DATs, and private funds. The world's largest investors and their clients believe in the long term Ethereum opportunity and express that view by buying ETH. They expect capital appreciation plus native yield.
The rest of [Joseph Chalom's post](https://x.com/joechalom/status/2085696058185666682) is very good I highly recommend it.
This yield is also what's funding the EF offshoots. They have a [good plan to drive adoption](https://youtu.be/sa1feEqpRS0?si=RpNR3KJl8YUnFV6g&t=2322).

It's accurate. The consensus layer today does not know the total supply of ETH. So in the short-term this is the easiest way to implement stake capping, to target a specific cap of ETH staked. In practice the difference is negligible in the short term. The inflation of ETH is not high enough to cause a significant drift in the span of a few years, particularly if is stake capping is implemented. In the future a technical EIP to make the total supply of ETH available to the consensus layer would suffice to fix it correctly once and for all.
Why not get it done already? That would be the ideal scenario but is a more complex technical change and there is some urgency to sort the stake growth before we cross 50%.
You can read more about it here: https://github.com/pa7x1/ethereum-issuance/blob/master/README2.md#validator-duties-and-economic-rewards

As Vitalik rightfully said, you need to have 50% uptime to ensure not losing ETH.
With the new issuance curve this percentage has modes in which it goes up to 100% uptime requirements on 60M ETH staked.
It is an unreasonable ask for home stakers. It is worse by all accounts.
Net yield is a scapegoat metric. Real yield as yield - issuance means we should be looking at ways to increase yield so that real yield is also up.
But we have basically 60% of all ETH idle and wanting to leech value by decreasing issuance. Not only they have no plans to increase rela yield by increasing gross Network yield, but they are also going to effectively decrease *both* yield (by destroying the DeFi economy) and issuance... Hence leaving everyone worse off.

$1900 hard rejection for ETH looks like it's heading to $1750

You haven't answered my points, and I listened to it already. Which part specifically proves that changing the curve will avoid this? How can that be guaranteed? Has it not occurred to you that the new curve could drive staking down a single massive entity (like Lido + backer) that is willing to accept a lower return? Or, perhaps, that ETH price volatility is also a massive influence on the make up of staking, regardless of the curve.
You are all in a rush to play with fire in a world where there are no answers or assurances, because nothing like Ethereum has existed before.

Being better money *and* being a more stable network have a higher chance of increasing ETH's value in the long term than artificial yield paid for by holders.

ETH was one of my least performing assets until I decided to sell it for BTC. In 2023 I bought equal amounts of BTC and ETH, whilst my BTC is still +100% today (even in this bear market), I was mostly underwater with my ETH. 3 Years of holding for no profit at all.
I like ETH for what it is but it’s not a good store of value, unfortunately.

The current curve is a lot worse for home solo stakers. You will start losing ETH home solo staking at 70m Staked. Industry continues to earn ETH until 110M.
Who stands to benefit from the new curve? In my view, the only ones benefiting from the new curve are Home solo stakers (that are now competitive with industry no matter what) and ETH holders. The only two camps that actually matter.
Why Home solo stakers are better off on the new curve is explained here:
