ETHEUR
Ethereum / Euro
crypto Composite

Holding 10 ETH since years now. I am down 50%.

Ran out of btc. No worries. I paying a lower level thug in ETH to slap that person of yours that slapped my BTC contractor.

I don’t journal lol. I look at TradingView, map stuff out, and then buy or sell, lol. All I really look at are trend lines and moving averages. My average trade is about $20, and I’m doing at least eight a day. I use leverage a good bit.
I normally win around $3, but on at least 50% of my trades, I end up making only about half a buck. Average hold time? I don’t know, anywhere from one to eight hours, depending on the situation. Also, I trade crypto like BTC, ETH, and SOL, not meme coins, but they’re still volatile.

Out of 90 trades, I lost 4. One of them was decently large, like I think $9 on a $20 position. My average loss is, I think, about $4 and my avg position is about $20. Most wins are about 2-3 bucks but a good nubmer break even.
I just draw trend lines, look for when they match up over multiple time scales, like when the 5-minute trend lines are good to buy, plus the 15-minute and 1-hour trend lines, and I use support and resistance and stuff. But it’s all stuff someone could learn in like 20 minutes. I’m trading larger cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, SOL, AVAX, etc. so ya my stratigy is I buy stuff that looks like its gonna go up and sell stuff that looks like its gonna go down lol.

wtf are you guys doing. ETH is only up like 30% over 10 years. Why are you here and why are you putting money into this?

I already own ETH

By chance pro AAVE, LINK, ETH, & SOL? Lil hypeerliq in there too

>In fact is the opposite. The point of introducing stake capping is to prevent large stakers from pushing out solo stakers.
Exactly what mechanism, according to you, guarantees that home stakers are worse off with the proposed change compared to now? At what number of ETH staked is home staking economically unviable with the proposed curve?

BlackRock just rolled out Ethereum based tokenized versions of some of its big European money market funds that together hold about 311 billion dollars. These are regulated cash products in euros pounds and dollars and the tokens live on public Ethereum through a JPMorgan setup. Professional investors can move the shares around 24/7 between approved wallets while the official records stay in the traditional system.
This is another clear sign that the biggest players in traditional finance see Ethereum as a solid place to put real regulated assets. It builds on what BlackRock has already done with products like BUIDL and adds more institutional cash products to the chain. Over time that kind of steady adoption helps Ethereum stay the main public network for this stuff which means more real usage more demand for the network and a stronger case for ETH as the settlement layer.

Amen totally agree. Investors are starting to question the BTC-ETH relationship. BMNR is hanging in there trying to buy Eth every week, while Strategy is suspected of imploding. BMNR is able to do this by selling the idea of ETH = Yield.
And now this proposal is going to take away one of the key reasons for mainstream investment adoption is crazy.

I'll try to do a better job of explaining it.
---
**Current situation:** Protocol staking yield is 2.5%.
Choice | Yield | Risk
---|---|----
~~Do not stake~~ | ~~0%~~ | ~~none~~
Liquid stake | 2.25% | counterparty/contract
Solo stake | 2.5% | liquidity (exit queue)
When staking yields are 2.5%, not staking is not really an option. You just miss out on way too much yield over time.
If you hold over a 5-year period, that's more than 10% growth of your stack that you're missing out on. In 10 years, staking increases your stack by well over 25%! A choice not to stake stings hard over time.
So in this case the rational choice is between liquid staking or solo staking. Solo staking, you earn 0.25% more.
---
**Situation if the new issuance curve reduces yield to 0.25%:** Protocol staking yield is 0.25%.
Choice | Yield | Risk
---|---|----
Do not stake | 0% | none
~~Liquid stake~~ | ~~0.225%~~ | ~~counterparty/contract~~
Solo stake | 0.25% | liquidity (exit queue)
If staking yields are 0.25%, liquid staking is not a sensible option. It just doesn't pay enough to be worth the risk of relying on a smart contract or a legal entity to give your ETH back when you ask for it.
Even if you hold your ETH for 10 years without staking, you're missing out on less than 3% total growth of your stack. That price is well worth it to be able to keep your ETH in cold storage in your full custody.
So in this case the rational choice is between not staking and solo staking. Solo staking, you earn 0.25% more.
---
**Summary:** In both situations, solo staking earns you 0.25% more yield than the next rational choice. Thus, solo staking is incentivized equally whether protocol staking yield is 2.5% or 0.25%.
**Disclaimer:** Just to reiterate, this reasoning is just a hunch of mine. I have no data to back it up, and it is based on some opinions that could be challenged (for instance maybe everyone would still rather hold stETH instead of ETH even if it takes 30 years to grow their stack by 10%.)

~Daily haiku until we’re at least at 0.178 on the ETH/BTC ratio or highest market cap

Only if they trust stablecoin issuer more than credibly neutral ETH and its properties backing Ethereum consensus.
Which arguably we are destroying by tinkering with basic primitives like issuance haha

buy more ETH

What do we do when we’ve rescued issuance and ETH price is still holding nothing of its own to Bitcoin?

I agree that SOL probably has more upside than BTC and ETH. However, its volatility and unpredictability are also much higher. Network stability, ecosystem competition, and overall market sentiment can all have a significant impact on its price. For me, investing isn't just about chasing the highest returns—it's about finding the right balance between risk and reward. That's why my current focus is on short-term futures trading. I prefer to manage risk through strategy rather than relying solely on the long-term potential of a single coin

> I highly doubt that. 2.5% is not nothing, even if there's an element of altruism or hobbyism, there's a big difference between getting a reward that makes it worth the effort and getting essentially nothing.
The choice to solo stake comes down to a hurdle of opportunity cost. Since staking the lazy way (LSTs) already take a 10%+ fee which equals about 0.25% yield, solo stakers are already earning only 0.25% yield above opportunity cost.
In an environment where the entire staking reward is only 0.25%, the opportunity cost would most likely be compared to the 0% of holding ETH under your own key, since 0.25% is imo not enough to justify the counterparty risk of LST or managed staking. I myself would certainly never bother with an LST that paid only 0.25%.
So in both cases, solo staking nets you 0.25% over the next best alternative.

They are independent facts except for the fact that greed is driving this issuance change, because people want their ETH to be worth more, even if it risks messing with Ethereum.
Honestly people just want a high exit for their bags, clearly.
Big centralized entities are gonna hurt *less* than small operators.
LSTs will take a hit, for sure, but strategic reserve plays will gain a shit ton of power over the Network, which compensates the loss long term, when they can start their block Proposal/proving cartels and get paid to include shit with priority by big TradFi institutions.
And bottom of the barrell you have LSTs that represent considerably distributed validator sets like rocketpool or Lido CSM. All those people with less than 32 ETH running nodes will be inmediately pushed out.
This will massively decrease node count. Client and validator diversity will take a hit, risk will go up while also reducing incentives to participate. This cycle feedback into Canton/Solana-like permissioned Network.
If this is included into Hegota, I'm existing my vanilla validator, and likely giving up, since the last bastion of blockchain would have been conquered by greed and TradFi oligopolies.
