> Staking rewards are tied to validate effective balance, which caps at 32 ETH per validator.
Not true since the Pectra upgrade last May

How do you determine the optimal backtest window for ETH? Dealing with regime shifts since 2017.

Yeah, kind of. It did in the same sense as ETH, which is only Disney the declining USD.

Liquid staking has quietly changed the energy of Ethereum and the broader Decentralized Finance space.Before liquid staking, if you staked your ETH, it was locked. Your capital was productive, but it wasn’t flexible. Now, with liquid staking protocols, you can stake your ETH and receive a token that represents it which you can then use across DeFi. That creates efficiency. Your assets can earn staking rewards and participate in lending, liquidity pools, and more.
From a market perspective, this increases capital velocity. From a risk perspective, it adds layers smart contract risk, protocol risk, and concentration risk if too much staking flows through a few large providers.
In simple terms, liquid staking makes Ethereum’s ecosystem more dynamic and capital-efficient but it also makes it more interconnected. And interconnected systems require stronger risk awareness.

There are over 4,000 stocks in the Nasdaq index. Are some worth buying? Are some not worth buying? I'd argue both are a yes.
BTC and ETH at a minimum have proven value propositions. ETH Defi alone has $[53B](https://defillama.com/chains) in TVL and $1.85B in daily on chain volume. BTC has not only first mover advantage, but wide adoption as a store of value. Thats enough to be considered "some crypto" having value. Are most of the rest worthless? Of course. But again, does one thing being worthless immediately make everything else in its asset class worthless?

What is the long term value prop for ETH?

What's your take on ETH versus other assets for max rewards on Mevstake 2.0 staking right now?

Its quite different. ETH is currently at a [0.85%](https://ultrasound.money/) supply growth rate in a down market paying 4% returns. Created supply is being burned consistently, as opposed to a company only issuing dividends and causing NAV erosion. A company is not required to reduce the amount of issued shares, compared to ETH being automatically burned as a result of use.
So capital growth isn't the only requirement. Reasonable use is a secondary factor, and again, even in a down market, ETH has a supply growth rate that is sustainable long term given current usage.

I used to follow an artist on twitter who was very popular and sold his originals regularly for hundreds, but mainly accepted payment in ETH

On my end I am bullish and stacking below
HYPE
ASTER
CC
HBAR
ZRO
LINK
The 2 first ones because there is clearly a trend on derivatives and I want my slice of that cake. The revenue generated is huge compared to any other classic coin
CC is becoming the future network for banking as they have designed the regulatory environment needed
HBAR is the new tech I would almost say blockchain 2.0 hash graph is really something promising and already getting tons of traction
The 2 last one are for interoperability (with ETH and SOL ecosystem respectively) among different other chains, their price will go up once the value of SOL and ETH will bounce back and I am guessing there will be a leverage effect by X3 (if ETH raise 50 pct LINK may move by 150)

It's not about maybes. People who trade with maybes are destined to become exit liquidity sooner or later. The most bearish models set a bear market floor for ETH at 1200. 1000 would require either the chain being hacked for the second time in history or a massive deviation in the price (which wouldn't be unheard of, but it's unlikely). Institutions are not the marginal buyer at resistance levels btw, they play no part in bear markets.

Du hast recht, niemand hat es bisher bewiesen, im Sinne dass es noch niemand gezeigt hat. Ich hoffe wenn dieser Fall eintritt ist sowohl BTC als auch ETH bereits migriert sonst stürzt der Markt ein. Die Theorie dahinter (sowohl Algorithmisch als auch Hardware seitig) existiert, ebenso die Implementierung, die Frage nach weiterer Skalierung bleibt

Partly true — some shares are held on behalf of clients. But 13F positions still matter because they show institutional portfolios allocating to the equity. Whether discretionary or client-driven, it’s still traditional capital choosing ETH exposure via BitMine.

As I mentioned, you can't precisely time the peaks and troughs. But the pattern is so freaking predictable. Don't over-optimize.
Let's pick ETH for example. Peaked close to 4200 3 times in 2024. So I already had in my mind that if I get to buy a ETH dip, very likely it will cross 4200 during next crazy rise. That's how human mind works - 4200 seems more possible now and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Human Behavior 101. Now without being too greedy, once it crossed 4200 in Aug'25, I started looking at 4h candles. The idea was that if the bull run continues from this point, keep riding the wave. The moment 4h candles depict a clear trend reversal, you sell. No guesses, no more being greedy. I believe it went to 4800 with the bull run and then red candles and other technicals indicating reversal in trend, I sold it all around 4600 with confirmed reversal. Although it again went to 4900 (final peak for the cycle) in just 10 days - no regrets. No one could time these. And even if it had gone to something like 5500, each crash easily wipes out 70% of the value (80% at times). So I will still be buying much lower down the line.
Now how did I buy the dip for the sell mentioned above. I had loads of cash as I had sold all ETH at previous peak in Dec'24. After that consistent decline and it reached 2000. 2000 was a long term threshold from Aug'24 to Dec'24. So I went all in. But ETH then dropped to 1500 - you will see that's pretty much the old mean price line from 22 to 23. I was expecting reversal over time. Was in the Red but calm. Then you already know how I sold it.
I focus on the psychological long-term and repeating thresholds together with the idea that ETH could easily lose 70% of its value with the next lowest. Again, I don't try to over-optimize.
Cheers!

I actually started an $ETH position recently with my avg cost just above $2000. I’m not a big crypto guy but I bought $ETH instead of $BTC because if they both get back to ATHs $ETH will have given a greater return. I’ll never buy some bs like fartcoin, melaniacoin or whatever the hell these influencers are promoting

BTC and ETH have a big use case in the money laundering industry.

ETH is the only one that people are really building any infrastructure on top of. Long-term, it has the best chance IMHO. I still refuse to buy any at these levels.
