Does the price of ETH rise, the more people use it?
This might sound like a stupid question, but it is something that I can't get my head around.
There seems to be this common belief that in the (obviously inevitable) case Ethereum will one day explode into the world and gain momentum as THE new defi, smart contract, dapp, financial infrastructure and so on (sorry, I really don't know that much about the depths of Ethereums usability but I am very much intrigued by it), more and more people and institutions will use the blockchain for mentioned and other usecases.
Everybody seems to believe that this will inevitably lead to an explosion in the price of ETH. But please, someone educate me: the underlying token is not really involved into all of the use cases of the Blockchain, right? You need some ETH for the gas fees, that I understand. But those fees keep getting lower and lower. So why would the price rise? Out of popularity? Does more usage need more ETH to be staked for security,, leading to scarcity? How does demand rise if you don't really need the token?
The vague answer GPT gives me doesn't reay enlighten me that much, so please ELI5 someone, I am eager to learn (and obviously wanna know that my stack of ETH will inevitably get more valuable).

Hasn't Tom Lee said that ETH is worth like $100k per token? His narratives are wild and who knows what his fundamentals are. Prior to the ETH he was known as the anti-Michael Berry in that he's called 50 of the last 4 bull markets.

Every post or tweet about ETH is bombarded with comparisons to dead chains like HBAR, ADA, and XRP, etc. The price performance of ETH reflects this. The information asymmetry in this space is massive.

I did not say that. I said the loudest people support it and many people just copy that. But we know now that many in this space were compromised. Not Vitalik afaik but imo he too made some big blunders with ETH.
>DYOR people. Don't believe a word from a Redditors keyboard, not in this sub.
👍👍 If by research mean you use your own head and read sources instead of just looking up 3 sites and take their opinion I'm all for it.

BTC , ETH , TIG.

ETH wins over everything, but it's a shame my stocks are weighing me down. I went all-in on the drop, expecting it to bounce back, but it just kept falling, and it gets worse every day!
Maybe I exposed myself too much, but oh well... we'll be stuck here. There are too many positive things to come. I won't be fooled by those who say it's all over.

I know what ICP is, this doesn't answer my question.
ETH rethinking scaling via L2 reflects positively on chains that focused on scaling the L1, like Solana, because those are pretty much opposite approaches.
Now do it for ICP.
Fill in the blanks:

Or you could buy ETH where instead of the hallmark being stagnation and infighting the hallmark is a real live community wanting to find the solutions of tomorrow for what plagues crypto.

ETH always delivers.

ETH -29% in the last week 💀

> Why do you still hold?
Partly sunk cost. Partly because I believed all of the idiotic hype (and maybe in a sick way I still do). Mostly because I believe ETH will be higher at *some* point in the future, and it's part of my overall diversified portfolio. Ethereum is the only crypto platform that has ever made any lick of logical sense to me.
> Do you have any bull cases?
Not really. I had high hopes for Breadchain stuff to empower the working class, but so far it's been much like everything else in crypto: convoluted, jargon-filled, vaporware. DeFi has the most staying power I believe, but as I said, it's still a complicated mess of crap that no normal, sane person would ever touch in a million years.
The best use case is still simple P2P money transfer. Eg: [sending monetary aid to Gaza](https://docs.fileverse.io/0x6a13c07622Cc1685E0a071c0d7b4Cdb41eBE24ca/1#key=alyL1ETXBR_r16AVQuDNArf8IbD5PJXoHIZq7pjh_J7kXsIkC8a-3cR-bdRQdPlw) when traditional methods are often blocked. Does that justify a $300+ Billion mcap? Hmm, no idea. Probably not though.

Say what you want about ETH, it is still the highest utility project in Crypto.
I think many people from this bull run, especially those who lost a ton on shitcoins, will look to buy just the big ones like ETH and BTC next time.

Bought ETH at €1800
See u guys at €900!

Then ETH is going to negative 500

First of BTC is not a company with a required revenue stream. Im not sure why say that.
Secondly, there will be a cycle that gets hit with a regular recession. This will cause a downturn that lasts more than 1 year. It would be absolutely brutal for all high risk assets including BTC & ETH, but if they ever had a chance, it is far better for this to happen now than in last 10 years, preferably during bullmarket lol.
I do not consider 2020 as regular recession. That was artificial, and did not act like a regular recession, which can take years to get out of the bear trends.

these are very real concerns but the question was when will MSTR be forced to liquidate and the people who ask it arent really grasping what MSTR is doing. BMNR does not have to liquidate if ETH hits some certain price either

truthfully just going to be DCAing into BTC, ETH, LINK and SOL! Mindset shouldn't change

Just like the title says. Looking to sell some gold for crypto :)

The crypto selling is starting to get a little excessive. I get maybe you apply some discount due to new fed potentially being a little more hawkish, but outside of that you really haven’t seen anything change in the true narrative of dollar debasement given Trump still picked him at the end of the day. I bought some silver when it crashed and sold this morning a profit and am now buying some ETH because this thing is oversold to he’ll and RSI is at one of the lowest points without any real fundamental change to the story so even getting a quick bounce to 2,300 from here would yield an awesome return
