Has anybody ever really predicted which way the market will sway in 'x' month from now? The situation with the Ethereum price is not bad at all because as of writing it trades at over $3115 each. It is not at the $4891 all time high but it could have been a lot worse too. Those who might have purchased at $4000 will have very little impact influencing the price because they cannot be counted as whales and at the same time those you refer to as manipulators will also not be able to do anything to influence decisions by newbies to buy or sell.

I just do not accept the theory about influencers applies to Ethereum. In the past we have seen Bitcoin whales move funds from wallet to wallet or to cash some in which has impacted the market but I cannot recall of a single incident that has done the same for Ethereum. In my opinion, if the price of Ethereum goes up then the market will not be affected if newbies cash in because the ratio of newbie investors to serial investors is too small.

Do you have any evidence? What exactly makes you so sure he is a friend of Putin?

What does this statement actually mean?

I think that is somewhat exaggerated but this is a matter of choice. If Ethereum or any other crypto evolves with consensus over a period of years then those that disagree with the path can fork to make their own chain it is that simple.

You can google Buterin and Putin and see that they have met a few times.


Ethereum 2.0 will be protected by 1% of the supply. 1% of the money in the network will decide which transactions are valid or not. If angry miners go together and form a malicious staking pool with 1.5% of the network, they can block all the transactions or force the network to mutate. If a government agency does something similar, it's easy to create a killswitch of the network. This could happen if it is proven that North Korea, Iran or Russia use cryptocurrency to avoid sanctions.

Ethereum blockchain 1.0 is the safest bank in the world, and ethereum 2.0 is the opposite. Especially iun the few first months after the merge.

10% of ETH is already staked and that # will continue to grow.  Your statements are rediculous.

Just lol.

"I could write a lot more about this topic but I’ll digress for today’s piece - hopefully I’ve been able to get you all thinking a bit more about layer 1 token distributions - especially around PoS-first networks. Obviously ETH’s distribution is far from perfect, but I think it is much, much better than other networks that start off as PoS from day 1 and basically become a perpetual insiders game - we’re very lucky to have had such a long PoW phase for Ethereum."

I'm really worried about this shit in decentralized ecosystems.

Somehow today I still see a lot of stupid people who use ETH but don't understand how to use smaller GAS for cheaper transactions, people are in too much of a hurry to use higher GAS fees to get fast confirmation on their transactions and burn their money, till now i still find those people on ethereum and willing to throw and burn their money for stupid transactions, i see transactions only done by rich people nowadays on ethereum network, i hope ETH 2.0 can help that even i see BNB with fixed gas costs 5 gwei cheaper
