At the current stage ETH is like owning the silk road, but others are making all the money on their tolls along the way.  The main obsession is that we rally around making the road cheaper to maintain and faster to travel? Please change my mind.

You're obviously right in the sense that in the past the tech, utility and adoption have improved significantly while the price has not. However, ETH having value is a core component of the security assumption of Ethereum. As the protocol becomes more critical, the security requirements increase, which necessitates a higher ETH price. The protocol doesn't care about ETH being as valuable as possible and it will not prioritise investor interests over utility and UX. But it does care about ETH being at least as high as *necessary*. I believe in the past the price was inflated far beyond what was necessary and it's approaching a more reasonable level, where it can start growing with the protocol. Just a hunch though.

This is exactly how I got liquidated when I first started trading crypto futures. I copy trade a guy who had a high win rate but it was because he was extremely wealthy and could let many positions go deep in the negative without getting liquidated. I saw a 500x ETH long he still has open. $122 USDT margin used, he’s -$28k on the trade.

The analogy kind of breaks down though. A ballpoint pen is a product, ETH is a monetary asset with a fixed-ish supply. The real question is whether enough economic activity needs to settle on L1 to create demand for ETH as gas. If everything moves to L2s and base layer fees stay near zero, then yeah, the comparison holds and price stays flat regardless of how useful the ecosystem is.

LP = liquidity provider. You deposit two assets into a pool on a DEX (e.g. ETH/USDC) and earn a cut of the trading fees from every swap routed through that pool — typically 0.05% to 0.3% per trade depending on the pool tier. On concentrated-liquidity AMMs like Uniswap v3 you also choose a price range, which multiplies your fee capture while the price stays inside it. That's why he wants price pinned above $2395 — his positions are in range. The catch is impermanent loss. If ETH rips or dumps out of your range, the pool rebalances you into the underperformer, and you'd have done better just holding both assets. So LP income is really a bet that the pair trades sideways long enough that collected fees outrun divergence loss, plus whatever incentive emissions the pool pays on top. That whole trade in one line: fees vs. IL, and range width is how you set the odds.

SpaceX hitting 1T in sales by 2030 is more realistic than any crypto adoption tbh. And thats an easier 5x at a 10 price to sales ratio which is normal for these companies. I stopped buying crypto, just holding whatever i have so Far and see how it goes, this cycle is its last chance, another let down and its over. I had rather take a bet on a company trying to cure cancer or other biotech stuff than buying more fucking ETH.

Bollinger Bands come to mind. Just don't know which way they'll break but the longer it's compressed the bigger the move. Remember when ETH was stuck in a range for months and then skyrocketed. Same idea.

Ethereum is Linux. L1 will be used by a small group of hobbyists. L2s might see mass adoption but it won't matter for ETH price because ETH doesn't capture any of that value.

how will anything change? low liquidity making prices very sus in ETH, don't think this will make a big difference

this is exactly why I got out of ETH. It's utility is amazing and world changing but the price action simply doesn't follow utility otherwise would've already been ATH

>lack of network effect vs Bitcoin Maybe true 3 years ago. Networks like ETH and SOL are doing 100x the transactions of BTC and more, so if that's your metric you should be trading your BTC for those coins. It seems you're basing your analysis on short term price moves. No doubt BTC price is held aloft by tons of ETF volume and Wall Street hype, but those could evaporate anytime. Look at XMR, slow organic growth over the past 5 years. Nobody knows the amounts transacted but the number of transactions has increased steadily. There is a strong community that supports the coin in every way. Trying to take out BTC hedge fund ETFs is a bad idea, I'd suggest investing more long term and understanding the grassroots nature of cryptocurrency.

ETH becomes the backbone of crypto finance and eventually the legacy system that everyone hates.

Can’t wrap my head around on why in the peak AI hype no one came up with new usecases - there most be some problems arriving in AI and agentics / frontier models / world models / physical ai that are core Ethereum territory. And I am not talking just agent to agent payments - we learned that giving instinct your credit card is good enough…If I“d be in ETH foundation I would work towards aligning ETH world compute alongside some self-souvereign Ai story or whatsoever - everything else somehow got boring in cryptoworld it seems

Go on google trends. Search terms like "ethereum" "ETH to USD" "ethereum price" etc. You can do the same with bitcoin. Seeing that was one of the things that convinced me to finally dump my remaining crypto (ETH) a few weeks ago. I think unfortunately the general public's interest in cryptocurrencies especially other than bitcoin peaked during covid and has never come remotely close again.

That explains why the return on staking ETH are garbage.

Great news! See you guys tomorrow when ETH drops to 2100 on this

Shit I wish I’d gotten in in 2017. You had to have made bank. Watch Tom Kim’s interview on ETH. I got into crypto about 3 years ago. Bought at $56k, then $60k last month when in my opinion that was clearly the bottom. My point: we are still early. Only 15% of ppl in the country own ANY crypto. I’m from rural GA and my brother and most here still think it’s a scam. This bull run is gonna be fun. ETH will break 5 digits

Ethereum Staking Hits a New ATH: 44.1M ETH Locked, With 1.38M More Waiting in Queue

Let’s make up two diff scenarios. Scenario 1: Bitcoin outperforms ETH but gets outperformed by the S&P. Scenario 2. Bitcoin hits 225k by 2030. ETH is 4400-4900 Might be two dumb scenarios. In meeting at work and kinda rushed this response.

"lower inflation means stronger ETH" This is not a fact, it's just an opinion. Changing critical parameters just looking for perfection might be worse than having a parameter set that just works.

I see your concern...around 2 Billion a year may seem like a lot of sell pressure for ETH until we realize that fiat inflation is growing 10T a year. I think its healthy for ETH to pay holders yield and creates stronger demand. Goal should be how to increase adoption not lower inflation. Hard for our minds to grasp.

Four of us pooed ETH to run validators together. The withdrawal wallet is 2 of 4 with nothing else set up. What rules should we add so one compromised hey can´t drain us without making the shared wallet a pain to use?

I have a random hypothetical question. I’d be curious in knowing what people here would do if the price remains flat through 2030. Let’s say tech has another bull market and the S&P goes to 9-10k. ETH remains below 4400. Would people here stop buying crypto in general, buy BTC instead, etc?
