You are missing that when you stake using delegation, you give up your ETH to a smart contract. Your ETH won't be protected via your wallet anymore. It's a high risk for a little reward (around 1 percent APY). Not worth it in my case.
About hardware wallet you're right, both open source hardware and software is an absolute must. If you have any doubt you can ask some AIs to analyze the security yourself if you're lacking technical knowledge, among other verifications.

Hello everyone,
I want to share DCA tactics using LP, which is similar to selling options to scale into investment (which LP actually is - selling volatility for fees). Unfortunately can't see how to attach an image here, maybe comment will allow this.

24h ago I deployed a very small (total of $100 divided into $25 and $75) LPs so that everyone can do the same without risking anything. ETH/USDC. One range is wide (1500-2020) to keep inventory working rather than idle and grab the strong selloff if it comes. The other is narrow (1900-2020) to harvest max fees if price oscillates in a range. Both almost entirely below the current price, which was $2017 at the moment.

Today we have the following picture:
Current ETH/USDC price is 2000.

Both ranges are active.
Narrow range yielded 0.17 USDC (in AERO, staked on Aerodrome) in 24 hours, which is approx. 0.7%.
Wide range by concidence also 0.17 USDC (ETH + USDC fees, not staked), which is approx. 0.22% yield.

Volatility yesterday was more or less stable, so these figures give pretty good impression of what happens during ranges.

As for IL, our intent is to DCA into a solid blue chip (ETH), so we actually like to buy it lower.

That's the idea today, will try to elaborate how I usually work this stuff in future posts or comments here.

So this morning on my way to work, I was scrolling through some news, and I figured I'd just hop on BYDFi, open up my watchlist, and "quickly take a peek" at the market.
Yeah, that was a total lie.
BTC's down. ETH's down. SOL's down. XRP's down too. And those random low-cap coins? Completely wrecked. Every single chart looks like it's tryna slide right off my screen. Red candles everywhere. I feel like my watchlist is slowly turnin' into an eyesight stress test

🤷🏻‍♂️. People don't want to think or read, it's a reflection of society as a whole. Mindless herd. The herd is currently selling everything they own to buy a handful of grossly inflated tech stocks that will take a massive dump on them soon enough. The Trump era pump and dump market manipulation shell game can only last so long. To each his own, I'm not selling all crypto, if they weren't idiots they'd already be diversified into S&P and crypto. The number of posts in this crypto group telling people to flee crypto and buy stocks is humorous - they want to pump those tech stocks to the max before selling - meanwhile they will be loading up their BTC and ETH etc. I'm enjoying the show nevertheless.

ETH 2026 = ETH 2021

Most secure Open source wallet (physical or not) good for staking ETH

XLM may soon be #1 crypto by market cap. Flipping bitcoin.
My reasoning is as follows...
Let me start by saying I dont really have any beef against most cryptos. I own several, but XLM is one my biggest holdings.
Why did I choose XLM?
1. Transparency
2. Tested and Proven and found to be reliable
3. Fast and Nearly Free
4. Non-Profit
5. Only coin to date with real world application
6. Innovation and Upgrades
This partnership is absolutely massive for XLM and the crypto industry as a whole.
But there is a lot of misinformation out there.
The DTCC is wall streets and the worlds largest clearing house. There is nothing superior to this and they have given XLM the first mover advantage in this market. Not XRP. Not ETH. Not SOL. And Not BTC. Will they someday? Maybe or maybe not only time will tell. The future is unclear, they have explored many chains and choosen stellar.
What is clear to date though is this partnerships makes XLM without a doubt the most valuable token on the market outshining bitcoin in usage, adoption and utility and may even overtake btc in market cap.
This partnership also shows me that there is also no longer any need for 99% of coins on the market. And that the government will do everything in its power to make sure XLM is a success and stays compliant. The same can not be said for any other crypto at this point.
I currently own SOL, XRP, HBAR, ICP and Quant. I have liquidated my BTC and Eth and most my SOL into XLM and Quant.
XLM is not the only coin I like, just one my favorites. Not dissing on any coin, just highlighting how game changing this is for XLM and no other coin can say this as of date of this post.
Please if you disagree explain your reasoning for open debate.

Altcoin season is the toxic ex that texts 'you up?' every time three random coins pump 20%.
You know you shouldn’t reply. You know exactly how this ends. But then BONK moves, PENGU trends, some AI coin does a random 2x, and suddenly your brain starts whispering: 'maybe 2021 is back.'
The worst part is not being wrong. The worst part is being emotionally available for altseason every single time it gives you the smallest sign of life.
Then you check the actual data. The Altcoin Season Index is sitting somewhere in the high 20s to high 30s. ETH/BTC is still limping around the 0.027 area. BTC dominance is still hovering near 58%. That’s not altseason. That’s a green candle with commitment issues.
What we have now is not a broad market rally. It’s narrative rotation with a shorter attention span than a goldfish on crypto Twitter. One week its the XRP ecosystem, the next it's Polkadot names. AI for two days. Memes for a weekend. Then back to BTC because everyone got tired and rugged. That’s not a season; it’s narrative speed-dating.
i still keep alt watchlists because I’m not dead inside. I'll watch coins like SOL, DOGE, PEPE, BONK, WIF, PENGU, and SUI across a few venues, including BYDFi, mostly to see where the rotation is going. But I no longer treat every pump like 2021 is texting me back.
The watchlist just means something different now. It’s no longer 'which bag will save me?' It’s 'which narrative is rotating, and how fast do I need to stop caring?'
Altseason might come eventually. But every green alt candle is not the start of a new life. Sometimes it’s just your toxic ex asking if you’re awake.

Started mining in 2014, moved to ETH when it launched in 2015. Held through everything since. DAO hack, ICO mania, DeFi summer, Terra, Celsius, FTX.
After enough cycles you stop getting excited about "new" narratives. They mostly come back with new names. Yield farming came back as points farming, ICOs as IDOs.
RWA feels different and I don't say that easily. It's not another way to shuffle existing on-chain capital. It's pulling yield from assets that were never on-chain before. Doesn't mean it solves anything, plenty of it is vapor, but the category has more behind it than most pitches.
What I check before touching any of it. Did the lending operation exist before the token did. Maple's founders came out of traditional credit. 8lends launched on the back of a P2P operation that had been lending offchain for a few years. I weight that more than tokenomics or headline APR.
And whether defaults are explained or buried. Goldfinch in 2023 was the lesson for the whole category. Real credit risk shows up eventually, anyone pretending it won't isn't worth your time.
I keep small positions in a few just to watch how they behave. Most of my stack is still ETH and a validator. One thing to get straight if you're new: Aave style overcollateralized lending liquidates instantly, RWA lending recovers from a real asset over months. Not the same risk at all.
Honestly a lot of this is just old credit work on new rails. The hard parts were never the blockchain.

I think the classic "BTC" vs. "Alts" classification isn't working anymore. We have seen a split with ETH pulling up earlier and various classes following, one after the other.
But I am still unsure if it will be an extended cycle with more steps, like BTC->highCap->Currency->governance->... or if it will be more of a spagetti-mix, with random projects popping off, giving some sympathy gains to adjacent projects, without any real predictability to it...
What we can say though is that the multiplier for bitcoin has done about minus 2/3rd of the previous cycle, This means it would be the last time Bitcoin would go up over 100% in a single run, with the one following already being \~70%. This must affect alts also.

ETH and BTC are really some of the only chains that are decentralized, and even they are controlled by a few dozen companies

ETH at the cycle lows is a smart move. Vitalik dropped a quantum roadmap recently I believe so it’s definitely here to stay.

Not dropping a dollar into alts at this point, maybe some ETH if it gets even lower but I'll just stake

BTC is cheating on ETH 😂

I believe so and here is my reasoning...

I am not here to lay disrespect towards other crypto projects. I am only here to see that they do not distract from what XLM has accomplished. I see alot of XRP and SOL shilling going on in the back of a momenumental XLM milestone.
Please, if you have opinions that differ from mine please feel free to explain your logic and reason I would love to debate this.

I was a crypto early adopter in like 2016 using ETH/BTC to buy drugs online. In 10 years crypto has done nothing in the real world. I don’t care about your “use cases” of ETH or Doge or whatever. None of it does anything. The whole point of BTC was an alternative currency and now the US Gov owns most of it. Crypto is dead. It’s been around almost 15 years and there’s not a single use for it besides sniffing your own farts “in the blockchain”. I still don’t know what ETH is supposed to do and that’s the reason it’s failing. If I can’t swipe my Coinbase credit card at the gas station and pay with ETH then what’s the fucking point?

Sold some ETH I'd held since 2021, withdrew the cash to my Revolut account, and now it's stuck under review. Support says they need "proof of source of funds and source of wealth" before they'll release it and its going on three weeks now
So far I've sent my Coinbase transaction history, the original buy confirmations, and bank statements showing the purchase from years back. They keep either asking for more or just saying it's still being reviewed....honestly feels like nobody on their end knows what they want from me.
For anyone who got through this
* What exactly did you send that finally worked? an exchange statement, a written explanation, a full transaction breakdown??
* Did you put it together yourself or did you pay an accountant?
* How long did it take?
Trying to work out if I'm missing sth or if it's just a waiting game. Rent's due and this is most of it!!

No, "Ethereum" doesn't need a CEO. Ethereum needs to remain as neutral as possible so that anyone can build on it. This is the mandate of the EF. They are just a node in the network. Anyone else who wants to build on Ethereum is allowed to do so. Ethereum is a public good. The issue with your viewpoint is you see ETH the asset as a speculative investment vehicle to make money on. It's not.

Hey all good, all my recent comments have been abrasive lol I’ve been unbelievably pissed and generally don’t feel the ETH community is sufficiently angry with what has happened here
