What happens when ETH stop giving staking yield? I read they would stop giving yeild once 50 percent supply is staked! Any insights?

Then tether collapses and sub10k territory, essentially having BTC, ETH and XMR as 3 cryptos, the rest will be eradicated.

I think you misunderstand or I'm not expressing myself well. *I* don't want to cap staking, I don't actually think it's very important and I don't care much about it at all.
This EIP we're discussing is capping staking at 50%. The whole point of this EIP is to prevent more than 50% of ETH being staked. That's a cap. I'm not against having a cap on staking at any particular value and I don't care too much about what the curve looks like. I care about making sure that any change that you make to the protocol is worth the effort and the disruption, and making sure it doesn't negatively impact things such as security or decentralization.

Always do your own research! BTC is the only crypto that has value. Maybe ETH in the future! Meme coins are like ketchup to French fries!

I’m not conflating anything. You’re speaking about ETH in the present and describing it as the world’s best store of value asset.

> and the bill is carried by everyone holding unstaked ETH
Except stakers pay an opportunity cost by locking up their ETH. Unstaked ETH can be deployed elsewhere on chain to earn yield while staked ETH cannot. 
Unstaked ETH also pays an opportunity cost by not earning staking yield, but offers flexibility. Each ETH holder has to decide where the best opportunity is.
What concerns me about the proposal is what happens when the staking yield is 0%. When buyers (institutional and individual) go to their broker and decide where the invest their money, they'll see a 0% yield for ETH and a 5% yield on Solana. 
If those asset prices are highly correlated, there's no reason for them to choose Eth or the Ethereum chain over another mainstream chain that offers yield. 
I solo stake and have a 3rd party stake some of my ETH. I'll stop staking of the yield drops to 0%. Staking has overhead and risk that isn't worth a 0% return, especially because I can get better returns in a HYSA. 

>Under the current curve, yield never drops below ~1.5% even with ALL ETH staked.
>The incentive to stake never switches off. Where does it stop? It doesn't.
This does *not* say 100% of ETH will be staked. This literally says the incentive never switches off, at all points until 100%. Which is just a mathematical fact.

ETH is not a holding asset.
It's a working asset.
You can literally make 25% a year from LPing ETH/USDC.
If you did that for the past 5 years, you could have gotten in at $3000 and still tripled your money by now.

###[EVMavs Fantasy Football](https://evm-pgf-fantasyfootball.vercel.app/) 🏈
Think this is the 5th season and the 2nd with /u/bbroad25 /u/the-a-word and myself as commissioners
**Redraft on yahoo** - 0.01 ETH buyin, Payouts to 1st-3rd place, 12.5% of the pot goes into an Octant Vault with the yield directed towards Protocol Guild in perpetuity.
Waiting to hear back from a couple more teams, anybody interested in joining if a spot opens up? Also gathering interest in case we have the bodies for a 2nd league.
-------------------
**[Best Ball on Sleeper](https://sleeper.com/i/Y2857aAJmAdYO)** < Join via that link - This is the 1st season for the league so still filling things u. Same 0.01 ETH buyin and payout/public goods funding structure. Will finalize the league settings as soon as we know how many teams there are. Sleeper has a solid slow draft interface so unless the majority prefers a live draft on Yahoo the plan right now is to kick off the slow draft as soon as we're full and everyone is paid.

So I was hanging out on Discord yesterday and one of my friends flexed that he cashed out a bunch of his CS2 inventory into ETH to help pay rent, and it kinda got my brain spinning.

I’ve got a few decent skins just sitting there since I barely play MM anymore (mostly FACEIT/wingman, plus work has nuked my playtime), and I’m wondering if it makes more sense to just skin.land instead of keeping everything locked to Steam. Been googling around and seeing all these “instant payout” sites, some even saying they pay out during trade holds and all that, which sounds nice but also kinda sketch? Maybe I’m overthinking this.

For anyone who’s actually done this recently: how did it go? Did you get scammed, lowballed to hell, or was it chill? Which sites felt legit, what should I avoid, and is it smarter to take a bit less for safety or hold skins and hope prices go up?

Would love any real experiences, horror stories, or tips before I send my first trade.

Honestly, if you're new, usually the move is to stick to top 10 crypto at first. If you really want to try meme coins though, check in whatever app youre using for a section where it says "trending" or "new". Look at the all time charts. Most of them launch, pump initially, developers take their money and get out, the coin will crash astronomically. Most of them never come back to all time highs, once in a while, one of them will, but there will still be price activity at the bottom. Its very tough to analyze whether they will bounce back a bit, or just keep slow bleeding out. It's probably 95% luck.
If i were you, I would choose a couple from the top 10 that you want to build a position on. Keep the bulk of your investment there. I like ether, solana, hyperliquid. Btc is usually a staple too, but not for me. So, if you have a few thousand to invest, for example, I would go with something like, $1000 BTC, $1000 ETH, $750 SOL, $500 HYPE... then, if you choose a meme coin, keep it between $20-$50. That way, if the price nukes, no big loss, but if it has a crazy 2000% run, you can still catch the upside and make a few hundred.
You got a few different types. Btc makes up over half the total crypto market cap, so its king, everything follows it to a point. Then you have your well established utility coins like ether and sol, which are pretty safe bets when it comes to crypto. If you want lower cap utility tokens which have more potential upside, you can check out coins like Keeta or Morpho, those are projects that aim for network usage and utility, but are still small enough that they can massively fail, or they can see explosive gains if they catch on. You have to be careful when choosing low cap utilities, there are SO many of them, most of them are gonna be duds, so aim for the ones with goals and partnerships that you like. Keeta is partnering with LayerZero, and they are trying to tokenize real world assets like gold and oil for the UAE. Morpho has a crazy disproportionate amount of value locked on chain, and they just partnered with coinbase to make their DeFi lending protocol seamless and easy. Thats why I like them, but they're still risky plays.
Meme coins are a completely different category. They operate on traders and hype alone. All gamblers. Now that doesnt mean you cant make money off them, but it does mean they aren't a long term investment. If you make profit on one, lock it in, sell a good portion of your tokens. Don't round trip them. Watch them closely, develop a strategy, and dont risk too much.

>No one is saying the current curve will lead to exactly 100% staking.
Actually this is exactly what people are saying. Pa7x1 is saying this, Jerome is saying this. Go through any of the dailies from the last 6 days and search for 1.5% or 100% and you'll find loads of people saying precisely this. They are claiming there's no way for the market to settle on an equilibrium below 1.5% yield, which is 100% ETH staked, because it's not enforced by any rules. But somehow, at the same time, we are to believe that "market equilibrium" will protect solo stakers.
>The problem: Ethereum's staking ratio passed 1/3 of supply in April 2026, and climbs every month. 📈
>Under the current curve, yield never drops below ~1.5% even with ALL ETH staked.
>The incentive to stake never switches off. Where does it stop? It doesn't.
That's Jerome's tweet stating exactly that. https://xcancel.com/jdetychey/status/2084638778677751889
>And it's absolutely fine to discuss any proposal, but if people agree there is an issue to fix, there needs to be an alternative.
100% agree. Unfortunately the proposal is worse than what we have no. We're talking about implementing a proposal we know will hurt solo staking, to solve as issue which isn't actually an issue yet, and might never be, and if it does become an issue, it's years away. But the authors of the EIP is claiming we must act *right now* or it's forever too late.
>What do you mean by an issuance cap of 20/40/50%?
I meant to say cap on staking.

>I don’t agree it’s only disappointing if you bought the top. I didn’t buy that top, and what’s happened since is a pretty substantial loss in opportunity cost for just about everything else. I could have traded my ETH for gold in 2021 and retired by now lol.
exactly. the price has been utterly disappointing regardless
just compare the dca performance (one of the safest investment strategies) with btc and you will see how badly eth has performed over the last 5 years
eth dca performance the last 5 years: -14%
btc dca performance the last 5 years: +50%
had you been dca'ing btc instead, you could literally walk out right in the middle of the bear market with a +50% profit. i'd say that's more than decent. eth, on the other hand, performs significantly worse than even a bank savings account, much less other investment assets like gold or stock.

Imagine what the price of ETH would be today if it wasn’t for BitMine?

I’m not trying to cherry pick. Obviously I nor very many people would have traded ETH for gold. I’m just pointing out the opportunity cost has been so large we can’t pretend that’s not almost as disappointing as buying ETH at 4800 five years ago.

If you look at the chart around 2021, it seems more obvious that price was overheated at that time. That only makes price action after that disappointing if you bought at that top, or anchor it as a rational price for the time. Since then, a lot has improved technically, in regulation, adoption is happening at rapid pace. So ETH might both have been overpriced in 2021 and underpriced now.

Netherlands. If you go to either Erasmus University MSc Econometrics or TU Delft Engineering / Applied Mathematics, chances are, you get fast-tracked way easier than in any other country (competition is brutal in UK, US). Bear in mind I am talking about the local pipeline which includes Optiver, IMC, Da Vinci Trading, Flow Traders and small offices from Jane Street and Citadel. Besides that, the ROI of those is far better than the likes of the US and UK specially - if you possess an European passport tuition is lower than 2.5k Euros yearly.
Another great choice would be ETH Zurich MSc Quant Finance but this programme is highly competitive and known to be one of the hardest to get accepted in Europe. (EPFL Financial Engineering is another great alternative in Switzerland).
To sum it up, breaking into quant in the Netherlands is probably the safest path. Switzerland offers great universities but very few Quant opportunities, forcing you to relocate post-graduation.
Lots of opportunities in Sidney as well (specially if you go to the G8 unis, focus on the more quantitative ones). Only downside is that Australia is far from everything.
Hope that helps :) .

Shame on you! ETH is not a sh#t coin

This is a good entry price, but we’ve been hovering around this range for a while now without breaking through to bigger numbers and, unfortunately, for ETH that usually means one thing and it’s the opposite of going up. That being said, I don’t have a crystal ball, and this is already a good price. So maybe split the money you have available into a few tranches and buy at certain price levels.

Well for starters, that is still a discount if you believe just about any bulls opinion of ETH. And that 4900 was a collapsing ETHBTC ratio we have only hemorrhaged further from since then.
