ETHEUR
Ethereum / Euro
crypto Composite

Apparently when there's no new daily thread ETH goes up lmao. Let's just keep this daily forever then.

I agree that it wont make u rich when it is mainstream. is it more mainstream than 2013? Yes. But crypto still is not mainstream enough so it bears big opportunities. Yes it sucks that big institutions have lots of ETH abd BTC and can manipulate the market but till every private person owns some BTC you will be happy you bought some today.

Here’s the thing about the supply thing.
It works great for bitcoin and it would work even greater for bitcoin if bitcoin was the only coin.
The top marketcap coins right after bitcoin don’t have fixed supplies like bitcoin or Litecoin. They have infinity supply and they do better than Litecoin.
Litecoin saw its best days before people were using stable coins.
Look at a 10 year chart and compare BTC, LTC, ETH, DOGE, and XMR. The last three coins have infinity supply.

I believe both ETHzilla and FG nexus sold ETH to fund share buybacks.

> ETour rewards ETH to whoever steps in to resolve these scenarios
RE: Griefing. Who steps in? How are they selected?

Can not withdraw ETH on Gemini

Personally, for long term, I think the best option right now is a Stocks ISA (since it’s Capital Gains Tax-Free) and mainly just buy into the S&P 500 (around 75%), and maybe 10% into something that pays dividends, and then like 10% physical gold/silver and maybe like 5% BTC/ETH if your interested in that.
I wouldn’t go too heavy into gold/silver but definitely worth holding some, especially the Britannias since they’re also Capital Gains Tax-Free.

My cryptocoach just dropped her new TA. Had to go long on ETH immediately but tbh even the NYT would have gotten this prediction correct.

I am currently using Exness's commission-free Pro account, trading instruments include BTC, ETH, JPY, SPY, XAU and other types, the trading time is an average of 4 hours, some trades last for a few days, I wonder if there is a way to lower the transaction cost

He speaks of it here: [https://youtu.be/yUkFNUT-f5k?t=706](https://youtu.be/yUkFNUT-f5k?t=706)

This will absolutely impact solo validators as well. He doesn't say "who gets to attest" so much as: Order by EB, force exit the smallest validators until there are 128,000 and no more. There are around 8,000 operators estimated, that includes home and solo. His take is "convert to type 2 and if you have just one validator, top it up to 33 ETH EB, you should be good"
This is for J\* in maybe 2028 (Hegota does not land in 2026, so shift everything on the strawmap accordingly), and it's a vision, not a sure thing.

My credit card rewards are set up to buy ETH every month.

I guess earning less might be the wrong term. It might be like Bitcoin mining where the theoretical reward is the same but variance makes the rewards not as regular so people join pools. I don't think it will have as big of an effect on ETH staking, but probably some.

Over the past year I've been thinking a lot about Web3. Not the trading, not the speculation, not the casino. I don't trade crypto. I don't follow the markets.
What fascinates me is the underlying idea: decentralized systems with code as the only authority. The technology itself.
I've been a backend engineer for over a decade. Rails, SQL, the usual stack. But like many engineers, I burned out. The excitement to build faded. You know the feeling. You're competent, productive, but not discovering anything anymore.
Then I looked seriously at blockchain. Not as an investor, but as an engineer. I asked myself: what would an application look like if built with absolute fidelity to what blockchain promises?
- Real utility (useful for the masses, not DeFi nonesense)
- NO off-chain layers (100% on-chain)
- NO insider advantages (fair economics)
- NO dependence on investors (self-sustaining)
- NO pointless tokenomics (ETH in, ETH out)
Those five principles became my compass. I tried to build something that never violated them. But the Web3 ecosystem is built around tokenomics and speculation. There's no blueprint to follow.
So I started pulling my own thread:
I wanted to build something useful, deterministic, fully on-chain, with no complicated tokenomics.
A simple game like TicTacToe with real ETH stakes? Interesting, but too narrow.
Then the frame shifted. I wasn't building a game anymore. I was building a tournament layer. A universal competitive infrastructure that's fair, open-source, and 100% on-chain.
That's when the hard problems started. How do you handle draws on a decentralized platform? How do you stop players griefing opponents without central authority? These aren't just technical questions. They're moral ones. They forced me to think deeply about fairness, about building a system nobody controls and nobody can manipulate.
The answers surprised me. Forget Kubernetes, Redis, all that complexity. With these constraints (fully on-chain, truly open, completely decentralized) the legacy stack collapses into something elegant. A client talking directly to contracts. No servers. No databases. No company. Just code.
That freedom changed how I think about software.
**So I built ETour**
A 100% on-chain tournament protocol, now live on Arbitrum. Players pay an entry fee, compete, the best player wins and takes the pot. Code decides everything. No intermediaries.
**As Web3 should be.**
I open-sourced it so developers can build their own games on it and inherit all of its features for free.
I'm not here to tell you this is revolutionary. I built this because it felt like a problem worth solving. ETour is what came out the other side.
The code is public. The contracts are immutable. The logic is yours to verify.
PS: The technical docs are not final and will be updated soon.

TLDR: ETour is useful, it's live, and it's open-source. Go ahead and play on it, or build your own game using its 100% on-chain and open source tournament modules.

Here is why:
* Ethereum daily transfers just broke the January 2018 all-time high
* Public companies have accumulated \~7.4 M ETH in under 12 months. That's \~6.1% of total circulating supply
* Ethereum staked just hit an ALL-TIME HIGH!
* ETH in active DeFi nearly TRIPLED since the 2022 lows. From 2.5M to \~7M ETH deployed. BTC and ETH exchange balances are both at multi-year lows!
* Coinbase, the bottleneck of Clarity Act says now: It's time to pass the clarity act. Armstrong, the CEO, said: "Grateful for all the bipartisan work among Senators and staff over the past several months to make this a strong bill."
* Senator Lummis calls for Congress to pass crypto market structure legislation.

ETH hits new record high network activity nearly every day... sadly can't say the same for the price

Thank you for the info. Seems to be the 2nd or 3rd ETH DAT that capitulates. Only Tom Lee is left with enough capital to make a difference.

18 min into the video. 2.26X capital multiplier for community stakers regardless of staking amount. Now it drops off slowly after around 20 ETH and at 200 ETH, it is at 1.8X (which is still very high). The CSM is really good for home stakers but it is a bit worrying that the rewards are so much higher than for solo staking and the implications if the contract gets exploited would be severe.
I still have most solo staked but +130% yield is tempting. I don't know if it is worth the risk though and 3% extra per year is almost meaningless given how much ETH swings. But, if you intend to hold for 10 years, those +3% yearly become +34% in total.

Does that mean solo validators with 32 ETH validators will also earn less?

What happens to all of the ETH bought by the DAT?

Good point on implied vol. I've seen the regime lag problem firsthand — my system used price-based regime detection (trend/range/high\_vol) and breakout strategies ran 48% of the time during sideways markets because the regime label updated too slowly.
The correlation issue you mention is real too. My agents use different lookback periods (6 to 50 bars depending on strategy family), so the same market state gets classified differently by different agents. That's actually by design in an evolutionary system — diversity of interpretation is a feature, not a bug — but it does mean "regime" isn't a single ground truth.
Where do you source your implied vol data for crypto? Options liquidity on most alts is thin enough that the IV signal itself can be noisy. For BTC/ETH it makes sense, but for something like AVAX or SOL the options market barely exists. Curious what your experience has been there.
