You are saying you are investing in xrp. I went out of xrp to abswer your question. Otherwise BTC ETH Sol, some rest of others like tron but meaningless

Any negative dilution adjusted yield held for sufficiently long will result in the disappearance of solo stakers from the validator set. If ETH inflates faster than their stake grows, the % they hold with respect to total amount of ETH and wish respect to the validator set goes to 0.
You just need to let the exponential growth play out.

10 BTC means ETH is is the 100-200 dollar range, that’s when finance would be a true Wild West with all big money exit-ed

Your feelings are valid. Outside of meme coins, ETH has been one of the worst performing assets in crypto for years.
Adjusting for inflation, we're pretty much equal to the 2018 ATH - which was nine years ago. Looking ahead, ETH will need to be 5.5k in 2028 just to match the 2025 ATH. It has been a horrible investment, even if "the tech" has done well.
It's okay to acknowledge all of this, be disappointed and sell.

ETH was $10.72 back then!
Not bad for the most hated of the most adored cryptos.

If you are actively getting diluted, that means any ETH "earned" through issuance is just your own ownership paid back to you. You aren't "earning" anything, it's your own money. Need to look at ownership as a percentage of the outstanding, not nominal.
It's not immediately obvious, and that's part of the problem.

Their point is that it still is rational to solo stake if the real returns are positive, and that only considering the dilution adjusted yield isn't enough to conclude whether or not solo staking would be pushed out. It seems more robust to me to think about the full picture like their post does.
I'm solo staking but I'm not very concerned about whether I might be diluted 1-2% in the future. I'm doing it to long ETH as the nascent rails of finance, and speculating to gain much more than this hypothetical future dilution. I'm glad to help the network out for that reason, and don't really care about minor percentage differences I could get by using an LST (now or in future).

A max supply is not necessary if features of a deflationary mechanism is implemented, which ETH has through EIP-1559.
Dogecoin has nothing to stop it from increasing, because it's trash.

Vitalik before developing the ETH stablecoin. 🤣

Agree that "real yield" can be misleading. However this also seems to miss the point entirely?
The problem is that "dilution-adjusted yield" goes negative if you solo stake, while you can have positive "dilution-adjusted yield" if you stake with an LST or similar.
So solo stakers need to switch staking method to not get diluted. Price is entirely irrelevant. What matters is ensuring that some staking methods aren't returning much better than others, not ensuring that all pay "real returns".
Thinking dilution doesn't matter and only focusing on "real returns" makes absolutely no sense. The following two scenarios are literally identical:
* Everyone gets diluted equally and "paid" the same amount. "dilution-adjusted yield" is 0. "Real returns" is not zero! So you now think you have income?
* Nobody gets diluted, nobody gets paid. "dilution-adjusted yield" is 0. "Real returns" is zero. If you want "real returns" just sell some ETH! your ownership falls by exactly the same as above.
Most seem to not understand this fairly simple concept, and it's a shame.

I want to invest €650 which coins should i buy ? I was thinking €350 BTC, €150 ETH, €100 SOL, € €50 XRP.
Is this a good investment, if not what should i change ?

You’re confusing transactional and computing utility for asset value; the function of one type of asset has little do to with the (differing) functions of another. If you don’t understand that basic premise then you’re just making an argument in bad faith.
And fwiw, almost every single OG Bitcoiner that I know continue to hold both, because the ETH ICO was literally launched on Bitcointalk, with funding in BTC. BTC continues to be an excellent SoV on a long-term timescale, and ETH continues to be an excellent smart contract protocol for long-term web3 adoption; these are two asset types that complement each other perfectly, so there is zero reason to throw one under the bus in a child-like way, just to promote the other.

Where do you get these numbers?
Atm ~42 million ETH are staked, which equals to around 80 billion USD or around 30% of all ETH...

>things that would weather an AI pullback
Makes one wonder, how would ETH respond to a crash in AI stocks? They shouldn't correlate but I feel like all markets are converging somehow on similar-ish trends everywhere. Markets also stopped making sense a long time ago, I feel it's all way too manipulated, impossible to know when prices are 'real' vs propped up or suppressed down for whatever other incentive at play that isn't visible to us.
Thus, frankly, I tend to prefer to step back from needing to anticipate markets, hold what you believe in to have real value and discard everything else. Mind you, this is coming from someone who was eager to turn 18 so I could trade on NASDAQ and only discovered crypto later (thanks due to psychedelics) and haven't bothered to trade on tradfi ever since. It's all bullshit legacy structures if you ask me. But some of these giants got bigger than most countries, so of course it'll take a while until their power structures fade away over time.

> The thing is, plenty of other cryptos have also struck a balance on all those fronts.
ADA being one of the better designed and functional blockchains, is still slow, costly, and is designed worse in comparison to Algorand.
It goes even more downhill from there when you bring in a barely functioning chain like ETH. Surely you can't be referring to ETH as having struck that balance?
Regarding the second paragraph - maybe that would hold up if the blockchains you're referring to actually scaled and solved the problems blockchain was designed to solve. These systems aren't trustworthy enough for real implementations (even if they're being used for such) because they fork, and have other issues with finality. It's losing people massive amounts of money constantly.
When it comes to critical, and FinTech, applications, different choices are made around programming languages right? That still persists today.
>For a long time it looked like it (ETH) won in spite of its terribleness.
Seems to indicate that now you're seeing that perhaps that isn't the case. So based on this, you see why tech matters in the long run, no?
>All I’m saying is that great technical feats often have very little impact on long term success in most cases.
Maybe it looks like we're deep into blockchain maturity, but very far from it. Algorand is building for the next several decades, and yet is CURRENTLY working at scale and more functional.
For whatever you have against PHP and javascript, at least they scaled and were able to run the applications that were being built with them. The same can't be said for many of these blockchain dapps.
>So I’m very open-minded to the possibility of Algorand becoming wildly successful.
yeah, I don't know. It doesn't sound that way to me. It sounds like you're making that case that other chains have already captured the market, and the technical moat that Algorand is establishing, won't be enough in the long run.
I happen to disagree. The market is clamoring for a better solution, but there's a lot of market ignorance out there. There's plenty being built on Algorand, and at some point it will become to much to ignore.
There are many serious builders and institutions choosing Algorand, a lot of RWA, tokenization, logistics, and life-changing FinTech infra.
Only a matter of time.

ETH also doesn't have a max supply is it shit now too?

I have the exact same strategy as you. BTC and ETH are long term holds. I don’t flinch no matter where the price goes.
All other cryptos are speculative trades that I will happily swing trade

BTC is a long-term play. ETH is questionable as the projects supporting are mainly based on throughput, not store of value.
Everything else just exists to wait for a pump and sell, here's where you need inside information for an edge.

Guys I'm very depressed about the ETH price. I have a lot tied up in it and I want to get liquid, but I can't bring myself to do it when price is this bad. I don't know if I can wait for another 2 years of this to the next halvening (even then theres no guarantee about price action)
I admit I held at 4.9K thinking it'll go higher, was targetting to start selling above 5.5 or 6K. I remember people were ebullient in here saying we got Tom Lee buying billions and targeting 10K, why are we setting price targets so low. Then 10/10 drop came out of nowhere. I sold some small amounts down to 3k, still holding most of my ETH because its always represented for me the hope of financial freedom.
we're in the depths of bear market again for god knows how long, fuck.
Now
