The staking and lending angle is worth exploring if you're mostly spot and have ETH sitting idle. EtherFi Liquid Vaults are one of the simpler ways to give your ETH a role without actively managing positions, you deposit, the vault handles strategy routing, and you can withdraw when needed. EtherFi staking is also an option if you want to keep closer to base yield, Aave and Yearn are the obvious alternatives but EtherFi connects yield directly to a spending card too, which is a different kind of utility.

No but my honest advice is to look where placement has already been made and go from there like where the ETFs are core, positioned and percentages etc.
I like $LINK for overall market coverage and how intertwined it already is and just waiting for them to make a use for the token itself to be burned $AVAX for subnets and customizability for companies
$SOL cause it high-speed and proven last cycle, though their ETF has low inflows compared to $ETH and $BTC. I also would pick $ONDO cause it's the safest tokenization play imo and that's still huge potential $LINK could still see huge off this as well.
Those are probably considered slower growth but overall some of the smartest bets compared to how established things are at this point. 😊
I wish everyone that is reading this the best of luck and great wisdom when you allocate.

You've got this completely messed up. This has got nothing to do with EIP-1559 or generating revenue for nodes. EIP-1559 has nothing to do with pricing of network functions or with storage being permanent.
EIP-1559 was an EIP that changed the way transaction fees were paid, away from an auction bidding format to a predictable function of the gas used in the last block. The purpose of this to make it easier for apps and users to predict gas prices to get included in the next block, preventing gas prices from spiralling out of control. In addition to this, it introduced a *tip* for miners as a way of prioritizing transactions, while the *base fee* part of the transaction cost was burned.
>This is simply unsustainable because EIP-1559 always drives down cost over time even if demand remains constant. Very few people outside of core devs know this.
This is not correct. EIP-1559 recalculates the gas price based on how much gas was used in the previous block. Whether it gets more or less expensive next block, depends on how much the gas used was above or below the gas target.
What's actually happening is that gas fee prices are getting updated to be more nuanced and more accurately reflect the amount of storage required for certain functions. And this is of course primarily related to state bloat. The new changes means that the gas used for a particular function will more accurately reflect the actual amount of bytes used in that function and certain prices will be able to scale.
>*For instance, while contract deployment only costs 202 gas units per new byte created, new storage slots cost 625 gas units per new byte created. Also, deploying duplicated bytecode costs the same as deploying new bytecode, even though clients don’t store duplicated code in the database.*
https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-8037
This is also why the gas price of an ETH transfer is recuded from 21,000 gas to ~7,500 gas between existing accounts, but increased to ~25,000 for new accounts.

I finally bought some stETH via Lido (not Metamask). Thanks either way
>Metamask likely offers Kiln as a provider, who takes the largest cut% (Metamask probably takes some too). You pay for one-click convenience. That's up to you.
I think it offered Klin, Lido and another one. All of them with similar %. But it's true I can safe a bit by doing it manually
>ETH is a coin BTW. Since Ethereum is Turing complete (it can simulate itself) people use it to launch internal-versions of blockchains inside of it, and all those 'internal coins' are called tokens. Stack dem coins.
Turing Complete?? I never thought a coin could achieve that. So is BTC a coin? And how about ZK on L2 Zksync, is that a token?

Surprisingly good and balanced article. There's only 1 thing which is a bit annoying. When talking about scaling and transaction costs on L1, why are we still talking about L1 as if it's so expensive and exclusive, like it's still 2018, when transaction costs are consistently very affordable and throughput already has skyrocketed compared to back then?
You can transfer ETH on L1 for $0,01 right now and make a token swap for $0,15, you don't have to be rich to afford that.

Vitalik minted all of his ETH at almost zero cost and sold them to Tom Lee( bag holder) for over $2k each, that's a huge profit, he's smart 🤣

For anyone who doesn't know. Currently Ethereum's L1 throughput is restricted by the *gas limit*. Every block has a gas limit of 60,000,000 *gas*.
200,000,000 gas limit = over 3x increase in throughput.
To put that into practical numbers. A regular ETH transfer between 2 accounts use 21,000 gas. With a block gas limit of 60,000,000, and a new block being added every 12 seconds, that means Ethereum can facilitate 238 ETH transfers per second. With the new 200,000,000 block gas limit, Ethereum can faciliate 793 ETH transfers per second.
However, because Ethereum also will reprice network operations to better reflect the actual workload and future storage requirements, this changes the picture a little.
Sending ETH to a new account which doesn't have any balance or transaction history yet, will have its price increased to 25,000 gas.
Sending ETH between 2 established accounts will have its price reduced to about 7,500 gas.
So under worst conditions the new number is 666 transfers per second, under the best and more typical conditions it's 2,222 transfers per second.

What's sad is you calling ETH a gas token when that's really what BTC is. You can do much more with ETH than just use it to pay gas.

Eh try finding platforms that provide yield from revenue, then you don’t need to keep moving it, it can compound for years. I’ve been LPing GMX and over 2.5 years have averaged about 7% apy on ETH and BTC. Yield is not fixed, sometimes high, sometimes low. Pendle is good too but yeah you have to keep moving funds, better to think of funds as being in a “chain bucket”, since cross chain swaps can but costly. Just keep moving into the best ops on the chain those funds are on

Oh boy just stop. You're linking a website whose author [believes hashrate doesn't matter](https://x.com/nikzh/status/1938616015421665501?utm_source=budget.day&utm_content=banner). Come back when you develop a basic understanding of how mining works lmfao.
In any case, we can argue all day and your mind isn't changing. I recall going back and forth with you a few years ago. Yet look at where we are today.
Better just keep holding your ETH and praying for a reversal.

Thanks for playing!

Long term pretty clear it’s going lower. “The trend is your friend”, as they say.
I think going long ETH against usd could be fine because usd is a shitcoin. The inflation is of course higher than ETH inflation.
but I don’t know why you’d want to go long ETH against an asset like BTC, which has a limited and capped total supply. ETH has an infinite total supply. Even if the inflation rate is low, its total supply is still growing whereas BTC’s total supply isn’t.
This is not a knock against ETH, just basic economics.

No. Never a good time to buy ETH

ETH/BTC chartists debating destiny while Monero folks are just building stuff.

Some Ethereum upgrades take a lot longer to play out and do not fit into the current very fast news cycle. They nevertheless improve Ethereum albeit slowly.
Pretty much one year ago we had the Pectra upgrade which among other things brought EIP-7251, Max Effective Balance. This EIP allows a single validator to have more than 32 ETH up to a maximum of 2048 ETH. This change allows larger staking entities to consolidate their staked ETH to fewer validators. This reduces the attestation chatter in the network and allows more resources to be used for other things. At the beginning only a tiny fraction of the validators consolidated and validator numbers further increased. People got a bit angry about this 'useless' upgrade. Now a year later the world looks different. We have about 10% more ETH staked, but about 18% fewer validators than at the peak last July. That is a pretty massive improvement. Without the upgrade we would have close to 30% more attestation chatter on the network than without it. That is a great improvement.
In a similar vein is the EIP-7702 which introduced smart account features for your classical EOA wallet in Pectra as well. For it to work you need to sign a special transaction which allows a smart contract to execute signed transactions for you. At the beginning only few wallets supported it and the support in hardware wallets still is not 100% there. At the beginning there were maybe 50 or so transactions per day which used EIP-7702 and most of them were by scammers to drain people more efficiently. Again, people got angry about such useless upgrade and spun negative narratives around it. Since the beginning of the year, there has been a clear uptick of EIP-7702 style transactions and they average about 2k-3k transactions on Ethereum mainnet. Still a small fraction of the currently about 3M transactions per day. Nevertheless I even did my first EIP-7702 style transaction on my hot wallet today. I needed to revoke a bunch of ERC-20 approvals and they are a pain to do individually. So I signed a transaction to allow a smart contract to execute batched transactions in my hot wallet. And then I could do them all in a single batch. Pretty impressive and scarily fast. The disadvantage is that the block explorers do not make it ease to see what actually was done in the batched transaction, but it definitely is very convenient to not have to send off dozens of transactions manually. I do not feel comfortable enough to enable it on my hardware wallet accounts though. Maybe in a year...

> I'm not saying permissionless finance doesn't matter
Actually you appear to have said that a few times. That was your original point.
>Stop building complicated financial structures...
Who are you talking to? And who do you think you are lol? *Ethereum* is a permissionless platform. Anyone can build anything they want. It's not *Ethereum* building DeFi, it's a bunch of different actors who are using the platform to build what they want, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
> My grandma and my nephew both understand 'play game, win ETH.' They don't understand yield farming or liquidity pools or governance tokens. Nobody does. Nobody needs to.
No one cares about your grandma and nephew. You're really not getting how this plays out if you think adoption is driven by average people like your grandma and your nephew. It's not. Ethereum is permissionless. No one is dictating what is being built on the platform. A bunch of things get built and whatever sticks sticks.

Hey guys,
I’m looking for an empty Ethereum Addresses from the Pre-Sale aka “GENESIS” and willing to pay very well for them.

I need them solely as a memorabilia/flex factor 😎
Empty of course ( please take out your tokens and eth)
I understand that this kind of request may come as shady to say the least, but the truth is I’m an early Eth adopter that didn’t had the opportunity to participate in the Pre-Sale. And I would love to “own” in a way a piece of the history of this beautiful technology that Vitalik created.
So, if you or anyone you know participated in the Pre-Sale and has migrated to an exchange (such as Coinbase,Kraken,Binance etc. ) please reach out to me.
I pay anywhere from $200 to $10k for these wallets depending on the amount of ETH it had in the Pre-Sale. (More eth and less txn = more valuable)
We always use a trusted middleman for the exchange or I’ll pay part of the pre-negotiated price upfront before receiving the keys/jsonfile . So everyone is 100% safe.
I recently bought an address from a fellow Redditor and everything went smoothly.
I have been doing this for years and I can 100% guarantee that there isn’t some kind of a catch in this deal. Additionally, all of the addresses remain spotless ( no delegated addresses on it, no shady smart contracts/deploys etc.)
So that’s pretty much it guys,if you want to make some extra money from your OG address feel free to dm me anytime either here or on tg @fenomeno888.
Thanks in advance,stay well and have a nice end of the week :)

Bitmine dropping $10.8B on Ethereum isn’t just a big number—it’s a signal.
For years, BTC has dominated the “corporate reserve asset” narrative because of its simplicity: store of value, fixed supply, no frills. But ETH plays a completely different game. It’s not just something you hold—it’s something you use.
If you’re a company parking billions on-chain, Ethereum gives you:
- Yield via staking (turning idle treasury into productive capital)
- Deep liquidity across DeFi (borrow, hedge, deploy capital without leaving the ecosystem)
- Settlement layer for tokenized assets (stocks, RWAs, stablecoins)
- Network effects that keep compounding as more institutions build on it
That’s the key difference. BTC is digital gold. ETH is closer to a programmable financial system.
A $10.8B allocation suggests Bitmine isn’t just thinking about preservation—they’re thinking about capital efficiency. In a world moving toward tokenized everything, holding ETH is like owning the rails instead of just sitting on the asset.
Still early, but moves like this make it pretty clear: the “corporate reserve” conversation is starting to split into two lanes—store of value vs. productive capital.
Curious if this is the start of a broader shift or just a one-off bold bet.

Exactly^ Stablecoin yield for the user is nothing more than a promotional vehicle to people to onboard them to CDC/Coinbase and give them some extra coins to help with web2/3 adoption, I’m personally quite interested in finding out how many people hold BTC or ETH Vs USDC.
Or even what the average normies opinion on USDC is opposed to BTC

At what ETH price would you sell in the coming weeks/months if you had bought at $1900? Just asking for a friend
