Ethereum / Euro

As the title says, a few years ago I roundtripped over $100K, 54.1 ETH to be exact, after finding GROK at $700K MC. It took me about 3 weeks or so after selling my whole position to complete the roundtrip. I was a mental mess for quite a while after.

Due to sheer luck & timing on when I got into ETH and SOL, primarily; Crypto actually makes up about 2/3 of mine.

0% chance we go higher on ETH. $1900 is hard rejection

I agree with the arguments in the proposal - the rate should be ideally set by a market with no 1.5% subsidized floor. Real yield matters, not just nominal yield. But the arguments are very counterintuitive.
- Where's the analysis of how disruptive would it be to the ecosystem? Is it worth the "transitory" loss of trust in stability of Ethereum?
- What about the increased ETH supply from lower staking? It was a major narrative that staking % going up supposed to increase prices by scarcity.
- Also why the magic 50% number, and not say the more intuitive 0 yield at 100%? Wouldn't that also find the market rate?
I guess it optimizes for real yield instead of nominal yield - less stakers, earning more in real terms instead of lower inflation?
- Decreasing inflation and lower taxes are both great (less ETH sold to cover taxes).

What I mean is that we need to find ways for ETH to either be used more or for the current usage to accrue into the price of ETH. Those are the mechanisms I’m envisioning.
The slump is fine. The ratio being 0.03 barely isn’t. And it’s not a defacto force of nature to be kept that way.

I',m not sure either. I asked Claude what it thought and might be someone trying to launder my money in ETH.

No one needs to "come up with demand mechanisms for ETH to appreciate". Market already has supply and demand mechanics, this is how ETH went from $0.3 to $5000 and back to $2000. Right now crypto is in a slump, so the demand isn't high. It sucks, but it is what it is. This is nothing to fix and it's certainly not any cause to start tinkering with the protocol.

Remember me when ETH hit 1k

If nobody can come up with demand mechanisms for ETH to appreciate the price I feel like all we’re doing with these issuance conversations are finding different ways to slice the same pie. Worse, we could be handing that pie over (for free) to bigger entities to enjoy alone.

We (DeFi Saver) made a free tool (Token Saver) to check if you have any lost tokens (ETH, USDC, etc...) waiting to be claimed

You can use AI for your stop loss.
Use a prompt like "close my ETH position if my strategy is invalidated".
Of course this assumes that you can actually write out rules for your strategy. And it can only be done on exchanges like Everstrike that support prompt trading.

We are losing 0.029 in this moment. I don’t see 2k anytime soon. 
I think first time I will take ETH performance easier is above 0.036

Yes but bandwith for example is probably a marginal cost of $0 for most or at least many solo stakers, as they would have internet anyway (maybe they need more data - for me it did not change anything). I had a UPS at one point, that would be another couple of tens of $ in annual depreciation, I don't have one at the moment.
Again, I can only speak for myself. I am beating LIDO on cost, but somedaysitsdark in this same comment thread appears not to be. But $150 does not strike me as absurdly low for a home staker. The question is also how the costs would evolve under lower issuance. Solo staker costs per ETH staked remains the same, Lido's probably go up.

I remember transferring some ETH from my cold wallet to an exchange, a minute later, a scammer sent a very small amount of ETH to try and get me to fall for address poisoning. I always verify the address everytime, so it wasnt an issue.
Scammers really are pathetic/scum of the earth and crypto is the wild wild west, at the moment.

It’s done nothing for ETH value accrual. I should be more precise and say the EIP would kill any real interest in ETH as an asset

By the way, EIP-8363 does exactly that, allow the market to decide what should be the yield of Ethereum. From infinite yield at very low stake ratios, towards 0 when reaching 50%. The market defines the yield in EIP-8363. With the current curve the market cannot really do that, because staking ETH never offers less than 1.5%. And if the risk premium of staking Ethereum gets close to those levels then you have runaway stake ratio growth.

Great write-up, and pretty relevant for my Aave position/day-to-day work. I'm a part of the DeFi Saver team, and our app offers automations for Aave positions (among other lending protocols) - one of which automatically repays debt when the health ratio falls to the point that the user sets.
So, for our users it's been pretty reliable even throughout huge market crashes. I personally don't go too tight on leverage so my current liquidation price is \~$1,200 for an ETH long, but I see many of our users who have the automated repay at a Safety Ratio of 105% (which is quite near liquidation)
Have you seen any adoption for defiguardian so far?

I suppose we just look to the past and see what ETH/BTC did at or near previos bear market bottoms.
"worse" was probably a poor choice of words as the point is that BTC will rise more from the bottom rather than ETH has to fall.

It doesn't actually matter because Ethereum's issuance curve is designed in a way that it makes it less attractive to stake the more ETH is staked as a way to dissaude people from staking ETH above a certain threshold. It is supposed to become less appealing to stake as we get closer to 100% staked ETH. Whether it's taxes or hardware expenses or time and effort put in.
It is true that Ethereum's current issuance model favors entities, but that's a problem there's no obvious solution to. There's nothing about the proposed EIP that changes that, it only makes it worse. Why? Because the proposed EIP would allow entities to push out home stakers much sooner and the overall set of validators is guaranteed by the design to be reduced, so home stakers are just pushed out much sooner. Another terrible angle, is that home stakers right now will never drop below 1.5% yield, where as the proposed EIP will allow the yield to be pushed down to basically 0%.
