You take the risk of the price of the underlying asset - so staking rewards should be considered wrt the asset risk.<br /> <br /> So then you&#039;re back to evaluating whether the underlying will outperform or not.<br /> <br /> Demand for blockspace, validator rewards, decentralization of nodes, and supply/burn mechanisms need to be in concert for the economy of that blockchain to churn net positive production.<br /> <br /> TL;DR Cardano doesn&#039;t have any meaningful demand for blockspace, mainly because they don&#039;t have smart contract capability yet.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I think enough interests are aligned to keep the money flow here and place a sandbox framework to promote innovation without killing it. That seems to be the approach towards regulation that is being promoted and I hope it succeeds. <br /> <br /> There are efforts in DC to push this perspective but from the complete lack of competence we&#039;ve seen from government this past year it wouldnt surprise me if the politicians failed to act in time. Could push a lot of innovation out of America.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">EIP1559. I expect big upside moves with Ergo and Raven as those are both what seem to be grabbing miners attention. I&#039;m personally going in on Raven.<br /> <br /> Eth could do anything. I think the attention on it could cause a big jump</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Well there you have it. Ergo and Raven both pumped like 40% today lol.<br /> <br /> What&#039;s going to happen long term? No one knows. I am personally trying to hold as much as I can for now. Raven halving is next year and I want to keep as much as I can for that.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">EIP has been live for 1 week now and has burned $100M worth of ETH.<br /> <br /> How excited would you be for BTC if you heard an announcement that some AI machine had been hired to buy BTC to the tune of $100M/week and then burning the private keys to those coins?<br /> <br /> Lmao I know I&#039;m harping on this but I just don&#039;t know if people understand what any of this means in practice. ETH is an economy. You need ETH to participate in this economy. You may choose you don&#039;t care, and that&#039;s fine.<br /> <br /> But if ETH continues to remain a prominent, undisruptable open-source platform for financial and self sovereignty, then your ability to participate in this economy is becoming harder every week. To the tune of $100M/week of circulating supply depletion.<br /> <br /> *EDIT: not your ability to participate per say, but rather to preserver your buying power. Money is worth more today than tomorrow. This is more important if you consider that the nature of these open-source networks suggests they will exist so far as 1 single node maintains a live ledger. If ETH is here 10 years from now - the time value of money in this exponential economy would have obliterated your today&#039;s money into beans worth in the future.<br /> <br /> e.g. buying 10,000 ETH when it was $10 would have cost you $100,000. Today, buying an NFT on Opensea for 15 ETH would make normies raise eyebrows - fume with rage at how irresponsible it would be for someone to buy a cryptographic keypair for 15ETH*$3,000 = $45,000. How outrageous! But that&#039;s in the USD economy. In the ETH economy, it&#039;s only 15ETH... like 15 bucks. It will continue to feel like this, in THAT economy. And looking into crypto, from the USD economy, will increasingly look nonsensical.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">To me, BTC feels like a giant ponzi. I don&#039;t own any and don&#039;t intend to own any. I bought some when I first got into crypto - and 1 week later I sold it all for ETH. I&#039;ve not bought any more since.<br /> <br /> I love blockchain technology. But I believe BTC is outdated for it&#039;s intended purpose. It&#039;s ethos lives on, but not on the BTC ledger.<br /> <br /> Everyone is rooting for BTC because of the narrative - and how it might be an easier battle towards adoption if we can just get people to understand one simple abstraction and call it BTC. Imo everyone also kind of deep down knows this BTC thing is a giant ponzi - but they&#039;re afraid of criticizing it because it&#039;s the granddaddy of crypto and if you say anything negative about it, well you&#039;ll get lynched by freedom fighters.<br /> <br /> Imo this is not the true path forward. If we can, we should educate people. I learned about ETH and now I KNOW that BTC is an outdated technology. I don&#039;t encourage any of my own friends or family to buy BTC. If I encourage crypto to them, I start with ETH and get them to learn about smart-contracts. &quot;Blockchain&quot; is only part of the puzzle towards open and permissionless peer to peer networks.

And BTC has both an unsustainable security budget and is impractical as a distributed ledger technology. It&#039;s also very difficult and operationally impractical to run your own node. The entire point of these networks is you have the freedom to participate and run your own node.

Web3 is what&#039;s in store for the future - and I don&#039;t know how anybody that has an ambitious vision for web3 can think BTC is what takes us there.<br /> <br /> Go on - lynch me for what I&#039;ve said.</div>

Normally currency gets adopted because a government mandates it by imposing taxes in that currency. <br /> <br /> How to make the hardest money ever created adopted by the global population?<br /> <br /> Design it so early adopters get rewarded for taking the risk, playing on peoples greed.<br /> <br /> So in a way it has some ponzi element, but to say it is a ponzi is ignorant.<br /> <br /> Also the outdated argument is really strange. Is a hammer outdated technology?</div>
