These gas fees are a blessing to us the miners. So, I don't mind at all that this gas frenzy continues for months. I even enjoy mining to HW address and then spending 5$ for each transaction to the exchange. It is tens and hunreds times less than the daily profit

Defi and tether, good job congesting eth blockchain!

The profits in the last month are miltiplied by 50 and now are higher even compared to 2017. I sold for
BTC more than the half on the way up to 0.04 and I will continue to do so unless there is a crash below 0.025
BTC. I will never stake, any interest is hundreds times less than the profit from mining. The day eth turns into POS, it is dead for me and for many other miners with relatively small farms. For us eth was a mediator to start with 1 gpu and go into Bitcoin world and become a hodler. This attracted millions around the world and they provided a secure blockchain with currently over 200Th/s. It's fork etc is constatly getting 51% attacks because of the low hasrate 3Th/s. I really doubt that the few rich eth hodlers will be enough with their POS stakes to sustain this level of security. Eth will become a coin for the rich and the hackers who will take advantage sooner or later from the smart contracts like DAO in 2016. Anyway, I wish a good luck to eth, it's been quite an exciting journey!
