Some of the early ideas of the proposal are found in this research note which tries to answer precisely your question. How do you constrain the space of issuance curves? Are all issuance curves valid and free of pathological regimes?
https://github.com/pa7x1/ethereum-issuance/blob/master/README2.md
The TLDR is that the answer is no, not every curve is valid. And under quite general assumptions you must implement stake capping, because curves that don't implement stake capping present a regime where you can have runaway stake ratios if the risk premium of staking ETH falls low enough.
The other observation that constrains significantly the analytic form of issuance curves is that very low rewards and penalties are dangerous, so you always want to keep rewards and penalties meaningful. Those ingredients and the current curve basically land you on the proposal.
Happy to discuss further.

As a staker, I'll eventually need to write a bit more about my opinion on this, but I generally like it.
I also think the yield will settle much lower than people think, which is *great* for ETH.
I know I'd keep my node/validator running even at 0.1% APY. Just for the fun of it, and because I want to support the network.
And because if I unstake I'd probably panic sell eventually or mess with my bags the way I mess with my non-staked stack.

News like this would probably mean a 65% daily pump back in 2017.
Probably a 35% pump back in 2021.
Now, it seems that we've collectively decided that ETH the token has nothing to do with Ethereum, the world settlement layer.
I still don't agree, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

New highs and new lows being set for BTC and ETH SOL and a few other non shit coins too...

my portfolio is all tech. META, FIG, ESTC, and then BTC and ETH. i need some recommendations for some non tech names to diversify

Watching ETHUSDT (30m) — Bullish Continuation After Liquidity Sweep

So I've been mostly in ETH and a few L2 plays for the past year but recently got curious about tokenized stocks. Not the synthetic stuff on Mirror back in the day, more like actual backed tokens representing real equity.
Ended up grabbing some SpaceX tokens a few weeks ago just to see what happens. The whole appeal for me was getting exposure to something I literally cannot buy on a traditional brokerage because its not public yet. Returns wise its been fine, maybe up around 8 percent but honestly I care less about short term gains and more about whether this whole model actually works long term.
The liquidity thing is interesting though. Some of these tokenized equities pools are pretty thin so slippage can get ugly if you're trying to move any real size. Feels a lot like early DeFi in that way, the infrastructure exists but its still rough around the edges.
Haven't really talked to anyone else doing stock tokens so I genuinely don't know if the fills I'm seeing are normal or if I'm just picking bad pools.

Because staked ETH is what secures the network. So if network TVL grows, so has the underlying security.
Otherwise you have the Polymarket situation where POL is worth less than the bet volume, and UMA (the token needed to resolve what side won) has an even lower cap. It just takes one billionaire to realize that and the entire thing can be taken over.

The result of events like this is that people realize the problem isn’t Bitcoin, it’s the products surrounding Bitcoin.
If the hackers had only stolen Ethereum, would that mean the death of ETH?
No. It means BTC is scarce, valuable, and requires defense. Thus the price reflects that and if anything it will go up.

We've all watched someone turn a 10% loss into a full liquidation by waiting for it to bounce back. did it myself last year on an ETH long, kept moving my stop because the reclaim was "obviously" coming. it wasn't. account gone in one wick.
Realized later my mistake wasn't knowing what a stop was, but relying on manual exits. manual exits work fine until a flash crash prints while you're asleep.
What finally fixed it for me was two strict rules: set invalidation based on market structure before entering, and always use stop-market orders so you don't get skipped in a cascade. I trade perps on bydfi mostly, and i force myself to attach the stop-market right on the position tab the second the trade fills. if i tell myself "i'll set it in a minute," i know i'm cooked.
a stop you keep moving is the same as no stop. how do you guys handle stop discipline when a trade goes against you?

> The rocket ship is down 46% from a year ago, and now the mantra of Not Your Keys Not Your Coins has become illusory and false. You should get 10% per year on average long term with VTI or VOO which will handily beat inflation, and compound.
Did the rocket ship say if it's direction was up or down? 😏
I bought some, and if it hits $40k, I'll buy a couple of BTC, more ETH and some Solana.

Well didn't think I would be posting something like this but here I am. I've been a holder of BTC/ETH for years, got a Ledger Wallet a while ago and it's been sitting in my drawer. I decided I wanted to transfer some out so I got my Nano X out, entered my pin, and connected to my phone. Before I could transfer I had to do a mandatory firmware update, and had to connect to my desktop. It's been a while and recently got a new laptop so I forgot it was a dedicated app.
Without really thinking I google Ledger Live and clicked on the first link, it looked like the real site and it said I needed to update my firmware which I did. I then clicked on the next step and forgot the only crypto rule. It was a screen to enter my 24 word phrase and I did.
It took a me a few minutes to notice my mess up and saw my funds gone. Was pretty stunned and upset with myself. Filed with the IC3 but realize there is a 0% chance of getting it back but figured I share here for awareness even if it was completely obvious and also don't know what else to do. Still processing this

Yeah that dude lost his credibility when he went all in on ETH 🤡

Yes, every single post about price action has to reference the ICO.
At least it's a functioning blockchain unlike BTC or ETH. Maybe go buy that and stop trolling for no reason.

I could try that and I’m ok with losing some money due to fees, but the thing is I tried buying ETH with the money in my Gemini account and when I try to send it to a different wallet, it glitches out and won’t work. I’m assuming it would be the same thing with USDC.

The idea is ultimately to onboard the entire traditional financial world to settle Ethereum, both on L1 like Blackrock, Fidelity, UBS, JP Morgan etc are doing, and on rollups, like Deutsche Bank, Robinhood , Sony and LG are doing.
https://ethereumadoption.com/built-on-ethereum/
Then even though each individual transaction will be cheap, there will be so many of them that the total fees, and therefore the amount of ETH being burned will be high.
It's easy to see how this works for L1 fees (as we have already had examples of deflationary periods) but it's less intuitive to picture how many transactions that would need on rollups (L2s), so there is a useful tool at https://github.com/blue-yard/ethereum-blob-simulator which models how this could play out.
For reference the ecosystem (L1 + L2s) is currently settling about 5k transactions per second (https://www.growthepie.com/ethereum-ecosystem/metricsand) the peak today was 26.8k TPS. The all time high was the 29th of January this year, with a burst throughput of 75,862 transactions in a second.

Saylor or Bukeyle did not buy Bitcoin BTC when it was a grass root project, both bought BTC when Wall Street got involved. Today 34 companies now control 25% of Ethereum validators.
That's not decentralization. That's a corporate cartel.
The Bitnet Money whitepaper predicted this in 2023.
Proof-of-Stake was never about security. It was about enabling institutions to take over.
Meanwhile, BTN uses Proof-of-Work—no validators, no staking, no 34 firms.
Want to see the proof?"
This concentration of control fundamentally undermines the narrative of Ethereum as a "decentralized" network. It proves that Proof-of-Stake (PoS) naturally evolves into an institutional cartel, where a small group of firms effectively controls the network's security, transaction ordering, and governance.
2. Why This Validates the Bitnet Whitepaper (2023)
This is not a new problem; it is the exact outcome predicted and criticized in the Bitnet Original Whitepaper (2023), Section 3: "The Ethereum Problem":
On Inequality by Design: "Proof-of-Stake... fosters further capital centralisation and favouring large holders, that can deposit their tokens into the protocol to receive block rewards, with no work... It works much like a perpetual savings account, where large holders collect block rewards and fees from less favoured users." (Section 3.b)
On Regulatory Capture: "Proof-of-Stake brings with it an array of other issues—such as susceptibility to enforcement actions by regulators... A truly global and decentralised currency cannot use a consensus mechanism that favours large investors and institutions in detriment of the retail users." (Section 3.b)
On Corporate Control: "Ethereum and ETH share more with private companies and securities than with a properly decentralised currency. Having a CEO, developers that hold the de facto power over changes... isn’t resemblant of a technology that can be truly applied fearlessly." (Section 3.c)
The "34 companies" statistic is the mathematical proof of the whitepaper's thesis.
This analysis successfully maps out the structural vulnerabilities of Proof-of-Stake validator concentration and contrasts them directly with the trustless, validator-free architecture of Bitnet Money BTN.
